Mountain Ski Bakhmaro base for freeride

We have built such a Mountain Ski base for you in the mountains of the Lesser Caucasus in Georgia. We found beautiful slopes, partly wooded, which allow you to ski even in poor visibility and snowing. And there is a lot to do with us, because our catski base is located only about 50 kilometers from the shore of the Black Sea at an altitude of about 2000 meters. Thanks to this, most of the precipitation that comes from the sea "snows" in this place.
