Bakuriani
Bakuriani is a ski area in Georgia, on slopes between roughly 2,021 and 2,021 m. Its mapped area is about 8.0 km across, with 9 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 8.5 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 180 cm of snowfall a season, 1,320th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 4th in Georgia. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2014/15 (136 cm), reached 76% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (42 and 38 cm on average).
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Didveli | 2.0 km | 180 cm | 1320 |
| Kokhta - Mitarbi | 2.3 km | 197 cm | 1174 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 57 cm, about the same as the median of 59 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 180 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 136 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 232 cm (1.7 times as much). For 100% of the 5 ski areas in Georgia, the leanest winter was the same 2014/15: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
The figures are for the whole of “Crystal”, which the map draws as one ski area.

Which way the slopes face
Only 24% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. More of the terrain faces the sun.
