Goderdzi Ski Resort

Clouds below, powder above

Goderdzi Ski Resort

Georgia's highest ski resort perches at 2,400 meters on the Goderdzi Pass, where Adjara's subtropical lowlands give way to alpine wilderness. Opened in 2015, it remains refreshingly undeveloped—no concrete hotel blocks, just wooden chalets and Soviet-era shepherds' trails. The geography here is rare: moist Black Sea air collides with Caucasian cold to produce exceptionally reliable powder, often when other Georgian resorts face drought. From the summit, the Lesser Caucasus unfolds in waves of forested ridges toward Turkey, a panorama few visitors ever witness.
