Georgia's largest ski resort, Gudauri, is in the Greater Caucasus, just north Tbilisi. Gudauri ski resort has a top elevation of 3250m and a total vertical drop of 1250m. A modern lift infrastructure, 60km of piste, a longest piste trail of 7km & a lift ticket price less than 20USD make it a serious prospect.

Georgia has two new and at least one planned ski resort. North of Kutaisi on the slopes of the 4858m Mount Tetnuldi, the Tetnuldi ski resort has some of the longest ski trails in Georgia - nearly 10km. To the south of the country in the snowy Lesser (or Little) Caucasus, the new resort of Goderdzi plans to triple its lift capacity in the next few years. Another resort development is planned near Bakhmaro.

Even more exciting is the new cat ski operation that has started in the Lesser Caucasus mountains at Bakhmaro. Established by a professional Swiss crew, Powderproject's Cat Skiing Bakhmaro delivers an exceptional new experience for more adventurous skiers & snowboarders. Having run its first season in 2016/17, it is quickly coming to terms with its superb terrain & is expanding every year.
