I decided to visited Bahkmaro in March of 2019 when I saw lots of snow in the forecast for the coming week. Skiing powder the whole week is great no matter the place, but in Bakhmaro it was an exceptional experience.

There was a lot of stuff to explore: tree skiing and open bowls, alpine terrain above the tree line, steep
pillow lines but also mellow forests allowing to manage the avalanche risk when snow came in abundance. All that accompanied by absolutely stunning landscapes with views reaching to the Black Sea and Greater Caucasus mountains with Elbrus and co.

Georgian people are famous for their generosity and hospitality not without reason, team locals made their very best so every guest enjoyed the stay. The Georgian cuisine is also great and we had
a chance to experience different dishes (of course with wine and chacha) every day.

The trip was very professionally organized: transfers from and to Kutaisi, the daily routine, well-kept snowcats and snowmobiles, etc. Experienced snowcat drivers knew the places like the back of their hands, guides were reliable, knowledgeable and passionate about skiing.

Looking forward to come back.

Nothing else as Freeride by it's best.

The terrain on side was so incredibly diverse.
There is no bad weather or bad snow.
Every day, in the morning, our Guide Bernd , Ingo and the crew decided the right location for us for skiing.
Safety was a top priority despite riding pleasure.
Every day, the whole week, we had first tracks….between trees or beautiful landscape on top the mountains.
With a view of the Black Sea and the Great Caucasus.
Powder all the way above our knees.
It was unbelievable.
Our lodge together with the housekeepers is so charming.
Very good dining.
We all together feld like a big family.
I'll come back, for sure!

My week of Cat Skiing in Bakhmaro was nothing less than a dream come true. From the day of travel to get to Bakhmaro, Georgia, which included a plane, mini-bus and snow cat, the adventure had already begun and lots of new friendships were already forming. The lodge accommodation was awesome with a huge lounge/dining area to fit the 3 groups of 10 people and there was also a fabulous sauna and relaxation room, with dressing robes included. The food and hospitality from the wonderful staff was absolutely 'World Class'. So much delicious food, drinking, entertainment and dancing, all in true Georgian style. We even had a gorgeous litter of puppies to play with. But, like my friends, I came for the skiing and it didn't disappoint. Ingo, the founder, and his team of guides and cat drivers have spent the past 4 years scouting out the best lines in the beautiful Lesser Caucus Mountains. They know the terrain meticulously and gave us everything you could wish for. Powder runs in the trees, steep descents from the mountain tops, long wide open fields, adventures with walk-outs along creek trails. There was jumping off powder pillows (not by me), plenty of drone footage opportunities and lunch out in the mountains to maximise the ski time. It was such a smorgasbord of different experiences, terrain and snow conditions, and all the time the guides and cat drivers kept our safety as the top priority. For any skier or snowboarder wanting an authentic experience in an amazing country and location, Cat Ski Georgia will not disappoint! I will definitely be returning and I can't wait to see my Georgian friends again. Kathy Bashfield ( Australia)

Amazing place, amazing people and amazing experience. Different to all my free ride trips, it was wild ski and a nice experience to disconnect for one week in the middle of the Georgian mountains and just ski.
