【 摘 要 】

The Elbrus region is the most popular recreational complex of Kabardino-Balkar Republic and of the North Caucasus in general. In perspective in the Elbrus region it is supposed to create 32 aerial ropeways with total spread of 54 km and productivity of 67 thousand people per hour, and 62 ski slopes with total spread of 108 km and square of 506 hectares. It is supposed to realize complex exploration of north-eastern slope of Elbrus - Dzhili-Su region (mountain-recreational and therapeutic complex "Dzhili-Su"). A wide variety of orographic, geological, climatic and physical geographic conditions of the mountainous part of Kabardino-Balkaria predetermine an active development of natural disasters on its recreational territories. The regions of location of existing and newly-created different routes and mountain-recreational complexes on the slopes of Elbrus due to their specific geographical position and natural conditions, are under the influence of dangerous glacial processes, in particular, snow avalanching. The area of the object projection "Reconstruction of artificial snow formation system, Elbrus mount" is also avalanche-risk one.
