Catski is an ideal freeride variant for all those who do not want to ride only around the cable cars in the resorts, want to ski in deep powder snow on untouched places, on unpaved slopes with a minimum of skiers. At the same time, catskiing is a much cheaper freeride option than heli-ski, so it is accessible to a wide range of skiers. Last but not least, catski allows you to ski in almost any weather, because a snowcat, unlike a helicopter, can also travel in fog and snowing.

We have almost tripled the area that is skiing by CATSKI since of beginning of our project!!!

That's why we invite you to Bakhmaro, come to us for cat-ski, your best FREERIDE in life! smiley

CATSKI Bakhmaro base for freeride

We have built such a catski 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.
