Plentiful Powder

The combination of moisture from the Black Sea hitting the cold air of the Caucasus provides the perfect recipe for high precipitation amounts and excellent powder skiing.

Terrain

The mountains are mostly alpine and boast an endless variety of skiable terrain, with long descents on glaciers, down steep couloirs or through wooded valleys.

Dacha Gorbachev

You will stay in the Dacha Gorbachev which was once the summer home of former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The building is steeped in history and is where Helmut Kohl negotiated the reunification of Germany in 1990. The helicopter will pick you up and drop you off just outside in the garden.
