There has been much talk about the new chairlift which is being built in Gudauri. And which will take skiers to 3300m (current peak is at 3000m). It is true, the works are well and truly underway, but we understand it is unlikely that it will be completed this year. Initial delays in the start of construction as well as early snow are to blame. But it will surely be ready for the next season and it will open up more groomed runs and vast new off-piste areas. It will make possible a top-quality Gudauri-Kobi off-piste area avoiding the current 2-hour backcountry hike (a real pleasure anyway!). It will push Gudauri into the unmatched territory for powder skiing throughout Europe, Russia and the CIS countries.
We also hear that three new ski-run grooming machines have been purchased and will be working hard in Gudauri this season!!
The amount of improvements this season are more than ever and Gudauri is firmly establishing itself as a world-class resort.
