Georgia boasts five ski resorts equipped with state-of-the-art quality ski lifts, trails and infrastructure that make the country the centre of winter tourism in the South Caucasus. The local ski resorts have the highest potential with new trails opening every year. They prepare to host Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championship in 2023.
