Georgia is famous for its ski resorts. We have already posted about Gudaury – one of the best resorts of the country. This article about another one ski resort located near Borjomi. This resort is smaller, but still interesting enough.
Bakuriani is a small and cosy ski resort. Pists are quite short and simple, but still interesting and picturesque. This resort is suitable for those who is tired with Gudauri and wants to get new impressions and for those who wishes to have a peaceful vacation with his family in a countryside.
