Snow- & Weather report

It was a rather difficult week. The forecasted snowfall was less than expected and it came later than predicted. The temperatures were too warm in places, but dropped again over the course of the week, which did not improve the snow conditions in the short term. It was not until Friday that conditions improved again.

Thick fog made riding above the tree line unsafe on some days. In the trees, however, it was eventually pretty good again...

Snow Data

  • Snow depth Bakhmaro: 250 cm
  • Snow depth project X: 300 cm
  • Last snowfall: 18/01/2025
  • Amount of fresh snow: 15 cm
  • Low temperature: -5 C°
  • Maximum temperature: 4 C°

Freeride & Tour

There were sunny days that the groups spent at Sarkornia or in Shridila, there were foggy days that the groups spent in the forests.

A Cat&Tour group made the best of the weather and climbed towards Lashisperdi on the first day, but also stayed in the trees due to the better snow situation.

The conditions were probably best in project X. Only two groups in the remote valley is a clear advantage.

Tips & Infos

Tips

Tipping is a topic I am often asked about on site. Yes, of course the team is happy to receive a tip. It is also a nice incentive for good service and a nice thank you. Of course, tipping is voluntary and the amount is up to you.

Guides are given tips separately because, as freelancers, they are not directly part of the local team. Sometimes groups also give something separately for their cat driver, sometimes together with the rest of the team. The tip is then divided equally within the team. There are around 5 people per group (not including drivers and guides).

It might make sense to factor the tip into your cash planning.


During the season we send out a link to this snow report every week to inform you as a freerider about the snow conditions and the course of the season, to give tips for your tour and to introduce the team. Of course we also want to increase the anticipation. If you no longer wish to receive the link, you can unsubscribe from the snow report at any time. With the end of the season we also stop the weekly snow report.
