From Svaneti: a village abandoned in 1960s during Soviet Times gets skiied. Beautiful day 1800 meters vertical.

Hike a ski back from the abandoned village after an excellent day of skiing. A little too much sun and too little time to ski up high before dinner. Really should have left earlier than 7:15. Check out @benerco on instagram or I'll be uploading some more pix here when home...
