Unexpected snowfall has once again blanketed the Ergaki Nature Park in the southern Krasnoyarsk Territory. This follows a previous snowfall earlier in September.

Photographs of the snow-dusted mountain peaks have been circulating online, shared by a community of skiers and snowboarders.

The early arrival of winter weather has prompted a humorous response from local tourism operators, with some jokingly requesting a pause in the snowfall, as the autumn hiking season is still underway.

This recent snowfall mirrors a similar event that occurred at the beginning of September, when the mountains of the nature park experienced their first dusting of snow. Around the same time, wintry conditions also impacted the Irkutsk region, with reports of snow and hail in Tulun.
