There are ski trips. And there are the ones you fly to Georgia for, climb into a snowcat and head where no groomed piste goes. Five days of freeride in Bakhmaro — no lift queues and no long climbs.
Bakhmaro in winter
Wooden, colourful houses buried in snow, conifer forests and open slopes above the treeline. Bakhmaro lies in Georgia's Guria region, at around 2050 m above sea level. It is a mountain village with a character completely unlike the big ski resorts.
What cat skiing is
You climb into a snowcat (a tracked vehicle that normally grooms pistes — here it carries skiers) and it takes the group up to the chosen area.
At the top you get your gear ready, listen to the guide's briefing and set off down natural, ungroomed snow. At the bottom you get back into the snowcat for the next run up.
In good conditions that means 10–12 runs a day and 3,500–4,500 m of vertical. How much you get on a given day depends on how high the guide takes you and on the snow.
We don't plan any ski touring or splitboard outings. Bring freeride skis or a snowboard — no touring gear is needed.
Programme
From meeting in Kutaisi to the return to the airport you are in the care of the Oxynite team. The guide chooses the riding area each day, depending on conditions and what the group can handle.
Day 1
Arrival in Kutaisi, meeting the group and the Oxynite team, then a shared transfer to Bakhmaro. On arrival, check-in at the guesthouse, gear check and a run-through of the trip plan.
Days 2–6
Each day starts with breakfast and a briefing, then you head into the mountains with the group. Run after run, with a break for lunch in between. In the evening you return to the guesthouse for dinner and rest.
Day 7
After breakfast we pack the gear and set off for Kutaisi. Check-in and a last evening together in Georgia.
Day 8
Check-out, transfer to Kutaisi airport and the flight home to Poland.
* The day's plan depends on weather, snow and avalanche conditions. The guide decides on the riding area — always with the group's safety in mind.

Who it's for
For skiers and snowboarders with off-piste experience who want five intense days of freeride. You don't need to be a professional freerider.
Confident off-piste riding. Control of speed and direction in variable snow, and the fitness for full days of activity in the mountains.
You'll get a detailed checklist before the trip.
Write or call before booking. We'll talk about your experience and help you judge whether this trip is for you — before you decide.
Accommodation and meals
For six nights you stay in a comfortable guesthouse in Bakhmaro. It's a simple, warm base for resting, shared meals and getting your gear ready for the next morning.
During your stay we provide breakfasts and Georgian dinners. On riding days you get a packed lunch to take with you on the mountain. Evenings are for resting, going through the footage and talking about the runs.
You spend the last night in Kutaisi, before the flight home to Poland.
Price
Local transport, the snowcat, the guide, accommodation and the team's care are on us. We list separately the costs you cover yourself, so you can work out the full budget for the trip.
Hire on site, for the whole stay: skis (without boots) 100 €, avalanche safety kit with avalanche backpack 230 €.
Date
The snowcat is reserved for one group, so places are limited. Enquiring costs you nothing yet — first we confirm there's a free place.

BookNo. A snowcat takes you to the top, so there's no climbing — we don't plan any ski touring or splitboard outings. Bring freeride skis or a snowboard.
Yes. The trip is for skiers and snowboarders with off-piste experience.
Confident riding away from groomed pistes, control of speed and direction in variable snow, and the fitness for full days of activity in the mountains. You don't need to be a professional freerider. If you're not sure — call before booking and we'll help you judge.
The guide matches the area to the weather, visibility, snow, avalanche conditions and the group's level. We don't work through a fixed list of runs — we take what the mountains offer on the day. Conditions can change the day's plan.
The price includes travel insurance covering medical expenses and personal accident, including off-piste riding — you don't need to buy a separate freeride extension. You will receive the policy details with your contract. Only cancellation insurance is not included in the price.
No. You buy your own flights to and from Kutaisi, and pay for sports equipment carriage on the flight yourself. Arrive 27 February, depart 6 March 2027 — a transfer to Bakhmaro is waiting at Kutaisi airport.
In Bakhmaro you get breakfasts and Georgian dinners, plus a packed lunch for each riding day. Meals in Kutaisi (the last day) are at your own expense.
A transceiver, probe and shovel are mandatory. You can hire the avalanche safety kit with an avalanche backpack on site for 230 €, and skis (without boots) for 100 € — both prices are for the whole stay. Tick what you're missing on the booking form so we can reserve the equipment.
