Catski Georgia

Catski Georgia takes you to Goderdzi in the Adjara region, or the Japan of Georgia. Because of its proximity to the Black Sea, here record snowfall every year. The winter season in the Goderdzi ski area is one of the longest in Georgia. It begins in early December and ends in late April. It is therefore one of the best ski and snowboard spots for freeriders. Forested mountains create fantastic scenery year-round! Deciduous trees provide beautiful treeruns and the idyllic village consists of countless (abandoned) mountain huts. Together with an experienced local guide you will step into the pistenbully in to go discover the best runs. There is nearly 8,000 acres of land available. This differs from mellow treeruns to flanks of more than 40 degrees. In the morning we will decide where to go based on snow conditions. Assume you will be on a hello minimum 7-10 runs can do with 3000-5000 altimeters.

During Catski Georgia we stay in the luxurious Ambassadori hotel, a beautiful hotel that was supposed to be the icing on the cake of a prestigious ski resort. Because the roads leading to it were never completed and Goderdzi is therefore still difficult to reach (only by 4×4 and pistenbully), this village, and therefore the hotel, receives only a fraction of the number of visitors as for which it was originally intended. Ideal for us, then, lavish luxury as a base for pristine freeriding!

The area

The catski terrain for the catski Georgia is divided into 4 regions. We will usually 1 molars per day. To the east flank lie the highest peaks. These extend to 2600 meters altitude. We usually don't get below 1,700 meters. The north side is known for its many snow plains and the village of Beshumi. Here you sometimes ski between abandoned wooden huts by. In the south its steeper slopes and some cliff drops. In the west primarily tree runs with dense forests and some openings. Depending on weather conditions, we choose the best region for catskiing daily.

Also, a airbag can be rented optionally.

Finally, we require each participant to provide a Proof of purchase of travel insurance specifically for off-piste skiing and snowboarding for the entire period of the trip. An example is short-term travel insurance with winter sports/special winter sports coverage at Allianz or KBF. Call and email your insurer in advance, explain what you will be doing and make sure you have a good understanding of what all is covered and what the exceptions are! If required, we will advise you on finding the correct insurance.
