Visit to Gudauri Ski Resort

We visited Gudauri ski resort in the Caucasus Mountains for about an hour and a half. Coming from a hot country, we were excited to experience snow, even though we didn't ski.

Although the visibility was poor that day, we still enjoyed watching the skiers and snowboarders navigate the various slopes, from beginner runs to more challenging routes for the advanced.

We took the cable car up the mountain, which provided nice views of the resort area and surrounding landscape. The cable car system makes traveling between the resort center and the skiing zones easy.

After spending time in the snow, we warmed up at one of the restaurant-pubs with some hot chocolate. Sitting there watching the skiers pass by, I found myself considering whether I might want to learn to ski someday.

Though we didn't participate in any winter sports during this visit, seeing everyone on the slopes was interesting. Maybe we'll try skiing next time instead of just admiring it from a distance.
