On Saturday, 27.12.2014 the first in this season ski trip at the weekend took place. Students of the 2nd and the 6th courses of "General Medicine", fans of the history  and participants of meetings of a historical circle went to the snow-covered steppe autside the south-East of Karaganda. The deputy dean of the faculty of General Medicine and Stomatology, Aliya Ibragimovna Takuadina took active part in our campaign. There also were the senior teacher of department of history of Kazakhstan and SPD, Ryspekova Bakhyt and the part-time teacher of ophthalmology and otolaryngology department, Sadykova Saule Mukhametkaliyevna.

The nature uncorked us a surprise – the sun at the beginning of a trip was replaced by a gusting wind which was followed by a snowfall and a blizzard. However, it was late to turn back. We have already came to a route and began to make a ski track in deep snow. It was pretty difficult to move against an ice steppe wind which threw snow lumps in a face, but nobody was going to recede. Having passed the frozen steppe small river and a high dump, we rose up by a height. The strong wind fell upon us again, but, we saw an impressive picture - the sunshine were making the way through clouds which lit with cold light the snow-covered, white steppe. On the highest point of the mountain I wiped, literally, I forced down us from feet, but we executed the conceived; we fired in a volley to the sky by the green rocket which meant that the campaign came to the end successfully. Aliya Ibragimovna and Bakhyt Bayanovna fragile young women, in the conditions of the snow-covered and crossed district and a snow-storm showed courage, power and persistence in difficulty overcoming, than set an example to all other participants of a trip. The trip passed without prompt descents, but with the falling on the deep snow, pleasure of new impressions and loud laughter.

On a way back, coming closer to conditional "finish", we, at last, saw the long-awaited sun and the blue sky. Already sitting in warm university minibus which was provided to us for such trips by the management of our university, we exchanged impressions about seen, and after all those small adventures all participants of the trip were happy.
