I came with a non-standard problem that Gudauri offered to solve for 100 lari - the strap of the snowboard attachment was worn out.
Mechanic Denis suggested how to solve the problem by an ordinary shoemaker with a flap of leather and a special machine. He did not take money for the idea, although the scheme was tricky and sent it around the corner to the very shoemaker who did all the necessary work for 15 lari and half an hour of time.
The trip to Mestia was saved)
Over expensive! I gave away two snowboards, remove the preservative. A price list of ~ 20 GEL was announced. I agreed to have the boards waxed. The price tag was not announced. I came to pick it up. There are no complaints about the quality. but! I had to pay 100 GEL to wax two boards and remove the preservative from both. For understanding, in Moscow it can be done for 400 rubles per board. On the mountain, it will be done for 500 - 600. It costs 1,500 rubles to fully service the board, this is with sharpening edges and filling scratches. 100 lari is about 2,300 wooden rubles. No papers or receipts were issued for the work.
