Breve dato in inglese sulla località sciistica di GUDAURI nel cuore della catena del Caucaso:
Terrain and snow conditions
Gudauri lies on Mount Kudebi (3006 m) on the south slope of the Great Caucasus Divide. The village lies at 2100 m above sea level with chairlifts rising to 3000 m insuring a vertical drop of around 1000 m. For comparison, Krasnaya Polyana is situated at 600-2400 m. This gives Gudauri distinct advantages concerning the quality of snow and the length of the season. Gudauri rarely experience cold winds unlike other resorts which are situated at high altitudes.
Gudauri enjoys plentiful snowfalls with typical cover of around 1.5m. Heavy snowfalls in some seasons see cover rise up to 5m like in the 2004-5 winter.
Chairlifts
Gudauri is serviced by three 3- and 4-seater chairlifts. The Austrian Dopplemeyer chairlifts are head and shoulders above the old Soviet chairlifts still present at most Russian/CIS resorts.
There is also a forth chairlift (3-seater), but it is not typically used as there are never any queues at the main lifts. Total chairlift throughput capacity at Gudauri is over 6000 people/hour.
Ski runs
Gudauri has a large number of runs, of which 8 are marked and groomed regularly and others are off-piste. Groomed runs have total length of approximately 13 km, with the longest run being 7 km.
Gudauri is known for its wide open slopes as well as plenty of off-piste areas. Deep powder, lack of rocks and avalanche danger make Gudauri perfect for freeriding. There is also plenty of opportunity around the area for backcountry and heliski.
For professional skiers there are FIS courses for slalom, giant-slalom, super-giant and downhill.
Ski passes
Daily ski pass: 20 lari (US$11)
Single ride: 4 lari (US$2.2)

Season
Ski season at Gudauri runs from December to April inclusive with late November and early May also providing some good skiing at higher points in the resort (3rd chairlift).
