What draws skiers is the snow: Goderdzi gets heavy snowfall from the Black Sea, and the open slopes and forest around the pistes are used for freeride and cat-skiing — go off-piste only with a local guide.

How to get to Goderdzi in winter

In winter the only practical way in is from the Batumi side: the road follows the Adjaristskali valley through Keda, Shuakhevi and Khulo, then climbs to the pass. Above Khulo the road is steep and often snow-covered: georgia.travel advises a high-clearance vehicle for this last stretch, and goderdzi.ski recommends a 4x4 with winter tyres. The other side of the pass, towards Zarzma and Akhaltsikhe, is closed by snow in winter. Even from Kutaisi or Tbilisi, travel via the coast and Batumi.
