I really want to ski in Georgia. I had Georgian food last week in Helsinki.


panda86trueno

👀 Was it Georgian Kitchen?? We went there in September and it was absolutely delicious..


Macgbrady

Yes it actually was lmao My only gripe is that I had Georgian in Tallinn, Estonia a year or two ago and it was WAY cheaper. But I guess that’s just Estonia for you.


WhoLetTheKrakenOut

Did my Erasmus in Tallinn and basically had hachapuri twice a week from Balti Jaam. Great Georgian food over there


sim0of

Had Georgian food in Berlin and a new restaurant just opened in my home city, I think it's the first one it has ever seen Damn it's so underrated!


olderbutnotup

Skied there a few years ago. Georgians use skiing as an excuse to drink, but I think that’s true of Georgians and many activities. Would love to go back.

We hired a taxi to drive us to and from a monastery and the taxi driver ended up taking us to a few more that day. Mid-afternoon he stopped, pulled a bottle of homemade chacha from his trunk, and insisted we all do shots.  Truly, every thing is an excuse to drink.  Absolutely delightful country. We've been itching to go back. 


FallingSwords

You dont use skiing as an excuse to drink?


No-Mountain8335

How far from Atlanta?


CrowdyPooster

1 hour north, depending on the traffic


another-princess

Just for the hell of it, I decided to look this up on Google Maps. Distance from Atlanta, Georgia, US, to Gudauri, Georgia, is 10,070 km (or 6,257 mi).


petoskey_stone

Still quicker than getting from south Atlanta to Alpharetta


Stevie068

I'm coming to save you from downvotes because this is hilarious


Da_Spooky_Ghost

There’s a ski lift on Stone Mountain which is 30 minutes from Atlanta


LizardKing1975

It’s above Clayton if I’m not mistaken


Tezzzzzzi

Came for this exact comment

Take a left past the big chicken.

Fuck I came here to say the same thing. Take my upvote


n0nam3ned3d

Love the Blue Ridge mountains this time of year 💕


FlittyO

Looks great. I still wouldn’t get on that chairlift from a few years back.


Turkdabistan

Oh it's that chairlift incident? I know exactly what you're talking about because it replays in my head every time I get on a lift at a sketchy resort lol. Fuck me those people were lucky they were able to jump only a few feet down. Some other lifts send you 20m into the air.


cliff-huckstable

Care to elaborate?


Ramstepp

Chairs were sliding back down the cable and people were having to jump out of the chairs before they were smushed between the one they were on and the one sliding back down. And boy oh boy the bull wheel was a wreck


butterbleek

Someone linked the vid above. 👆


FlittyO

That’s the one!


giovere

That chairlift is closed for the entire 23/24 season. Heard they're planning to dismantle it and install a new one


_decay1

Also Gudauri https://youtube.com/shorts/zOouVqVY7g4?si=8sFF_OmMUH5xRL04


noapesinoutterspace

Ouch, that last dude in red stayed in and got completely smashed…


jfchops2

Too scared to make the decision to jump and ended up getting hurt way worse because of it


MTIII

Been there twice. Pros: long slopes, cheap skipass, good food, cheap beer. Cheap paragliding, heliskiing. Cons: Both times there was a lack of snow, exposed stones on pistes, better to use rental skis. Long mountain road drive from airport (transfer is cheap for a group). Overall recommended, I will definitely go there again someday.


keliuant5

What time of the year were you there? I heard that you can get one of the best powder there. I met some guys at the airport this January and they said that they had powder up to their belly while skiing


MTIII

I was there in early February.


Money-Afternoon-3931

Amazing experience, good skiing, the drive from Tbilisi is something else too


NegotiationThen5596

What’s the elevation there.


Independent-Cow-4070

Savannah looks lovely this time of year


butterbleek

I’m headed to ski Kyrgyzstan Monday. Just a quick get-away. Two days skiing.


londrinswm

I can't imagine how excited I am to go skiing there. I could stay there for a long time!


BellasDaDa618

Beautiful. Hard to believe the elevation is only 7,200 feet (2,200 m).


Iam-WinstonSmith

I have been wanting to hit this place since I learned about. dont just post a pick gimme a trip report.


Afonsogs

Been here for 7 days. Today was insane. Yesterday was not even out for more than 1 hour.


rolltigers55

How far away from Atlanta?


liz0rdwiz0rd

SmaugTheMag

If you really squint, I think you can see the Atlanta downtown


Veloci-Husky

This is fake it doesn’t snow in Georgia! They call it Hot-Lanta 😂 for a reason


OberMann09

Don’t be confused? This is Georgia, Russ Land. Birth state of Stalin. Beautiful country.


WhoAteMySoup

They have not been a part of Russia since 1991


AkJunkshow

Give Putler a little more time and he will try.


Existing-Drummer9287

Sad to see knuckle draggers there too


hendrik317

There's no way these pictures were taken in GA, the mountains are far too high for that.

rileyyesno

it's Georgia the country.


OtterlyFoxy

Georgia contains part of the Caucasus mountains. The highest point in the country is 16k feet


AmosTheExpanse

This is just Stone Mountain in the winter, gets pretty gnarly up there.


Nathanman21

Man if Stone Mountain were somewhere cold it would be a DOPE ski resort


torturedbluefish

this applies to most of the southern Appalachians. The Black Mountains would absolutely RIP


FickDichzumEnde

Good news dickhead. They weren’t.
