It was quickly decided to turn it into a new and grand ski resort. Once the ball started rolling, there was no stopping it. However, the government forgot to arrange accommodations for the workers and technicians. In a rush, the old weather station at the highest point of the Goderdzi Pass was converted into a hotel. Fortunately for us, there\u2019s no better place to stay than on top of a mountain.\n\nThe ski resort itself is in full development but is still in its infancy. Therefore, it is currently only interesting for beginners. Luckily, there\u2019s such a thing as a PistenBully. This beast of a machine takes you to all corners and peaks of the area. The terrain is incredibly versatile with mellow tree runs and challenging couloirs above the tree line.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-146729\" src=\"https:\/\/rycetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20190308_181943-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Cat Ski Goderdzi\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rycetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20190308_181943-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rycetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20190308_181943-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rycetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20190308_181943-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rycetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20190308_181943-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rycetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20190308_181943-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goderdzi, a piece of Sahara in Georgia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nThe Sirocco, a swirling, dry, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sMPwCSZ_P0c\">fierce Sub-Saharan wind<\/a>, brought a piece of the desert to Goderdzi in March 2018.
