A ski adventure of a lifetime. Like no other. Snowcat off piste skiing in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia.
We will be based in the small hamlet of Bakhmaro. A perfect powder location with accommodation sitting at 1950 metres surrounded by fabulous evergreen forests. No ski lifts, no commercialism. Just pure off piste skiing with access each day using a snowcat.
