About the trip
Situated in the Lesser Caucasus mountains, close to the Black Sea – cold Siberian air results in the perfect cocktail to receive an abundance of snowfall during the winter months! (some might say too much if you ask those that went last year!)
Run in conjunction with “Cat Skiing Georgia” who have operated there for 10 years and are experts in the world of Georgian Cat-skiing!
During the trip, there’ll be 6 days of cat-skiing – led by UAIGM guides and coaches by the lovely Jamie and Johan from the Academy team. Warren is planning to be there too to float between the groups and help out in all areas on and off the hill!
Everything is included from board to accommodation to transportation. All you need to arrange is your flights (see info lower down to make sure you get that bit right!) and your drinks budget!
