The best ski resort we have been to (Elbrus, Arkhyz, Dombai) gorgeous trails, skiing without stopping, and most importantly no queues. We will definitely come back

The apartment is in good condition, everything you need is provided! On the plateau there are bars, cafes, restrooms, a shop, the whole info structure! Mountains are a credit, a huge skiing area! The only drawback is that ₽ has fallen, it has become more expensive)

one of the best ski resorts in the Caucasus. There is a large selection and the total length of the trails. the location of the apartments is close to the lifts. good heights. It's not the first time we've been riding

I like. It's not the first time here. There are enough slides, new ones are constantly opening. The lifts are modern. The prices for skipass are reasonable. The trails are wide and there is a lot of freeride.

It's a good ski resort, but there are a lot of problems with navigation, it's easy to go on a freeride or get confused. The lifts are reliable, the trails are pleasant.
The price tag is really a little too high, I can't recommend restaurants nearby because of unreasonably high prices.

It's a great wheelchair. Beautiful view of the mountains. Wide trails, of which there are many. From simple to very cool. If you go with a company, then everyone needs to have a connection. You can get lost on the slope. Accommodation can be rented right next to the lift.
I recommend the Red Wine restaurant for the evening

February 2024: a large number of lifts, all working well. The trails are a class. It was the first time, there were a lot of impressions, all positive. Those that are conditionally negative are small in that there is no ideal. And what exists is in Gudauri😅🙌

Gudauri. Gptchat recommended me to spend time at this ski resort when I asked him about it and listed the places where we were. And she gave wishes, good trails, modern equipment, the proximity of lifts, the opportunity to see another country and it is desirable that there were more sunny days.
Everything coincided, I recommend the place.
There aren't many people. They ride in different ways, there are many students.

Probably the best ski resort I've been to. Wide and long slopes, excellent service, short queues and the opportunity to communicate in English.

Good. Nicely. Comfortable. There is a lot of snow. The lifts are different, there are many of them. Prices are lower than Russian ones. I recommend. The height difference is almost a thousand meters. I miss you already

Positive:
1. There is really a lot of plumpness for boarders
2. Decently cheaper than Sochi: accommodation (if you choose wisely) and ski passes
3. The lifts are good
4. There are a lot fewer people compared to Sochi
5. We found a hotel 15 minutes walk from the mountain, but with a transfer, a room with breakfast and dinner for three - 10k per day. Delicious, good, but there is no TV in the room and it can be cool
6. They say that there are no avalanches here)
7. Cheap SIM cards, 1000 rubles - unlimited for a week, there are limit options much cheaper
Minuses:
1. There is a certain hidden dislike for our people, it is exactly what you feel and certainly not with everyone.
2. There are a lot of flat areas for boarders and there is a reverse slope, sometimes you will have to unfasten
3. The tracks are very similar, rather they are all blue with occasionally red sections. Rather, it is rather one wide slope, in which they decided to make tracks somewhere, the rest is skiing next to the tpass
4. You may not arrive or leave the airport, as the road is closed during heavy snowfalls. And either wait a day or two in Vladik or you can not fly back. That's exactly what happened to us (
5. Prices in stores are noticeably higher than Moscow time
6. Well, there is absolutely nothing to do in Gudauri at all. If there is bad weather, then boredom is mortal, except to drive to Tbilisi (5k in 1 direction in 2.5 hours)
7. Even just walking is dangerous - there are no sidewalks, and packs of trucks are driving along the road
8. Crossing the border is a lottery, we passed both in an hour, and they say that at peak times you can stand for the whole day
9. The coolest spa for 50 bucks in Marco Polo is a complete fiasco, a 12m basik and one sauna and it's very cold, in the marriott in Krasnaya Polyana for the same money - an unrealistically cool complex
10. Since the resort is high, there may be problems with the respiratory tract or heart.
11. In two days you roll off all the tracks and on the third it's already boring)
12. The landscape is also of the same type, there is no forest, just a slope and that's it

The slopes are super prepared, the lifts and trails are excellent. But the accommodation and restaurants are not very good. A good place for 2-3 days. The price/quality combination is good

If there is snow and the sun is shining in Gudauri, and you want to go skiing, then you will get great pleasure from skiing. There are many places to stay near the mountain.
If you are a beginner, then do not skimp on the insulator. If you are an experienced skier, then you will find a wide variety of trails and experiences.

A beautiful place! Incredible landscapes, good-natured people.
One of the disadvantages is not a profitable exchanger and expensive food in cafes and restaurants. Don't go to Black Dog - they don't like Russians!

Russian Russians in Georgia: as they say, the world is not without kind people and at the same time - in the family is not without a freak // Georgian youth passing by, hearing Russian speech, will say something like that behind their backs with a snide echo // but without malice, but rather, just to say something // the waiter in the restaurant got a clear guy in general: a kind, very polite and educated student of Tbilisi State University, played the violin for 9 years, then studied to be a turner, knows five languages, learned Russian from our films - wow // in another cafe, the waiter girl pretends that she does not understand our language, says in broken English, but quite responsive // and this morning we watched from the balcony as two young men took pictures at our car, carefully at the same time first brushing the snow and dirt from the room [we did not understand what their joke was] // the landlady of the apartment in which we live, overly caring, did not give me rest two weeks before arrival, and this is not sarcasm // but the funniest thing that she did was unilaterally change the currency for housing after booking: we paid 10% of the prepayment in rubles, and after confirming the reservation, the remaining 90% magically turned into $ // the security of the lift, limiting the entrance to boarding, let our entire company through when they are you ask for this, but we ask specifically in Russian, for the sake of interest // in general, for the first three days, it seemed that after the beginning of some events, the attitude towards us became noticeably better // and there is something to compare with: the previous visit to these regions was in 2020 and it was worse than today // in my humble opinion [ imho ]

Beautiful rocky mountains! Excellent quality alpine snow! In clear weather, a beautiful panorama of the village opens from Kudebi! There was a small selection of trails (there was no snowpark in 2016), stone on stone on the trails (the slide of the new board was notable), snowmobiles worked from 10 o'clock, that is, after the launch of the lifts. It used to happen that a nasty squeaking frightening ratcak followed me down, this is a big minus, but Gudauri does not claim to be the level of development of Alpine skiing.
The cuisine is spicy, spicy: Georgian. My stomach was rapidly going into a state of shock.
Cheerful, open Georgians, sometimes indifferent or defiant to tourists. There was no comfort in Gudauri at the time of 2016. And the local website deleted negative honest reviews about accommodation in hostels. We lived in an inexpensive white shino hostel. We faced a water supply shutdown for several days (it is very cold, there is nothing to flush in the toilet (forgive me generously for the details)), and there are 5 people in a room with a shared bathroom. We left the resort (by good tradition for the 3rd time) before the end of the payment period due to problems at the checkpoint (the ever-falling snow was the reason for the closure of the pass). But nature overshadows negative memories, and I want to come back years later to look at the changes!
If you have little skiing experience or you are a beginner skier who is attracted to the rocks, then most likely Gudauri will be in your top)

I only liked the room. But Switzerland is far from how this place wants to present itself there. We were in May, it was not yet the season, of course, there was one cafe where a very negative attitude towards Russians is very visible and a shop where there is not a large selection of products.

The mountains are just a miracle. We were in the summer, out of season, there was only one cafe that operated, which put the Ukrainian flag in front of its own... how can you not respect yourself?

The best place to relax and ski! The bad thing is that the customs is loaded and there is no separate road for heavy trucks! Special attention is paid to the Caucasians at the Georgian customs, the Georgians said this is a request from Russian customs officials ! It's not pleasant, but it's a fact.

The ski slopes are good, the advantages end there... Lifts often freeze due to a power outage. In restaurants, everything is in English and Georgian, Russians are ignored or communicate through clenched teeth. Russian Russian is the only restaurant in the whole of Gudauri where the menu is in Russian and they communicate with a smile in Russian, the cuisine is excellent, the third star is named after them.

The tracks were always prepared, but under bad weather conditions they were immediately closed. The lifts are very modern and comfortable. The views are unforgettable. Mountains and a bottomless sky. The reception in the hotels where I was, worked smoothly and quickly. It is better to be with knowledge of English. Accommodation is expensive. Ski passes are expensive.

We went from February 18 to February 25, we were lucky with the weather, we missed Lars, but I realize that we will not subscribe to this anymore)
Positive:
1. Beautiful view, especially on Kobi
2. Georgian cuisine and wine
3. A lot of housing right near the lift, lived in Gudauri Palace, 50k from 5x per week
4. Lots of trails
5. Lifts are relatively inexpensive (even with a sagging ruble ~ 2100 a day)
Probably that's all, and you can also find fault with every plus. Now the cons, there are a lot of them:
Minuses:
1. The quality of the trails. There was already enough snow when we arrived, but by 12 all the tracks were covered with bald patches, ice, bumps and rocks. The markings (columns) are not particularly clear and visible even in good weather, it is impossible to understand snow and fog at all. It's dangerous, you can't accelerate, people with stretchers are running around like that. Well, the cherry on the cake is that even in normal weather they close the wind or something else.
2. Constant power outages on the slope. We hung up several times while climbing on the lift, once I was stuck for as much as 1.5 hours
3. Expensive. The ruble sank to the lari, even transferring itself at the divine rate through the golden crown, there was a robbery. Especially in restaurants, where they also charged mandatory 15-20% tips for a mediocre service. Taxi drivers carry kidneys in the snow for the price, in the pair the prices are much higher than in Moscow.
4. It's boring, there are a couple of good bars, even a sauna was not so expensive, but you can't walk anywhere, at most you can go to Tbilisi in good weather.
5. The behavior of foreigners. There is a lot of Russophobia here, some Spanish woman can tell you on the lift, but don't communicate in your filthy language. In queues for the lift, they behave dangerously, create a crowd, are brought into a clogged gondola, which is why everyone is kicked out and there is a queue again.
Conclusion - in my personal experience, our Khibiny and Sheregesh surpass Gudauri at times, there is no desire to return here yet.

A great place for skiing and snowboarding! If there is snow, then the width of the slope is simply huge! New lifts, good service, music playing feels like it's in Europe! The prices for skipass are moderate, the only thing is, try to rent a house closer to the main lift, otherwise everything is very cool, the Georgians are great guys, it's easy to find a common language with them!
