Trip: Georgian Caucasus - New Routes

 

Date: 5/16/2008

 

Trip Report:

Tyler, Jason and I used our Hans Saari Grant $$$ to go to the Republic of Georgia to ski some new lines.

 

So far we've only got this trailer video and a website under construction.

 

I'll get some more pics up and a real TR soon.

 

We'll be doing a few slideshows in Seattle, Bozeman and Sun Valley too.

Gear Notes:

bring rubber boots for walking through pig shit.

 

Approach Notes:

Insanely long flights and a 16 hour 4x4 epic.

Nice! Were you guys on Shkara? I've spent months ogling lines on those peaks while guiding Elbrus. The Svan live right on the other side of the Baksan valley, I've met a number of Georgians over there. Like the classic Svaneti towers in the video. How was the Kindzamaruli and Xvanchkara?

 

Definitely will try to catch your slideshow and say hi.

I've been scheming for over a year on an Elbrus trip, logistic information is confusing and inconsistent, sounds like a chunk of $ to make it happen.

 

Probally not the best time to go - as of last week, with the heavy military conflict in the immediate region.

 

I met Tyler this summer at RMI, super cool dude. Hope I see him again, He could no doubt shed some light on the logistics.
