Delicious beer salad at the Grand Hotel Ushba.
My whip.
After an ungodly 42 hours on the road (Williamstown->NYC at 30mph as our bus' fuel filter broke, Newark-> Munich (train ride into town to a paintball stadium to get airbag canister filled, mvp fills bca float canisters fo free), Munich-> Tbilisi, Tbilisi-> Becho) I made it to Becho and the Grand Hotel Ushba. Had a beautiful "trail" run throughout some of the upper villages in the valley, followed by delicious local Svan cuisine: beets, bread, cheese and soup. Just heading up into the Mazeri peaks now for some mellow skiing, then some more and some more skiing. The corn is excellent.
Also: A special shoutout to my taxi driver yesterday who'd never been to Mestia. I never imagined getting an airport taxi to drive me 8 hours but I was wrong... Sometimes I was scared on the ridiculously winding road to Mestia, but never so much that I got out).
