It's nice to see the 3 of you together and helping each other out.
it's always good to see these three
All such beautiful souls...stay safe!
Natasha's films are brilliant and so is this. Thank you for making all your films, all of you. Otherwise, interested people across the world would never get these insights, if it wasn't for people like you.
I love your friendship and even Natasha looks a lot happier
Awesome video and your guests are the best. Spending time with them is like spending time with family, so you kept the spirit of January 7th. You all have great personality. Thank you for sharing this experience in Georgia.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DariStep are you russian or georgian? or ukrainian? i just see your first video here. i'm curious where you are from.
your nationality?
Thanks for your honest review and commentary on the trip. Look forward to your livestream with Natasha!
Thanks for sharing!
Seeing the 3 of you together is just amazing. Especially you!!!
Dari, I am Georgian now I live in Germany. I used to go to Gudauri almost every weekend. You went there at the wrong time, without snow people don't go there, just some random wanderers. And the problems that you came across are related mostly to the fact that there was no snow. Also, I recommend making some local friends from Tbilisi because they will show you around better and show you the ways how things are done there. Hotels can be super comfy in Gudauri, you just picked the wrong one. Concerning the pedestrian roads - when there is snow the traffic is totally different and since this resort only functions during the winter they don't really make good roads there because it will be covered under the deep snow anyways. I recommend you to go there when there is snow and trust me you will enjoy it 100 times more. wish you a good stay in Georgia and maybe we meet one day when I come back, keep it up with the nomadic lifestyle! P.S. "Absolutely" must be your favorite word :D
This was very enjoyable to see how life is in Georgia and with little snow around the ski resorts. We don't have the lack of snow but, we don't have cold enough temperatures for our longest skating rink in the world to open yet at this time. It was nice to have your friends tell the world of their experience at the ski resort. Thanks for sharing... from Ottawa, Canada. 😊
Nice video Dari… good to see Natasha… and other two friends 🙏🙏. Keep sharing 👍🏼
Thank you! Will do!
I watched this video again on my big TV and your camera and aerial shots are Amazing! And again, so are your guests. Your video has a lot of heart. Really appreciate your honest opinion.
Thank you so much ☺️
Thanks for the video!👍
Another great video! You, Natasha and Alena are the new Charlie's Angels. Overall I appreciated your Christmas celebration on the mountains.
Thank you so much!
Great video. The resort did look much better once there was significant snow. You, Natasha and Alena are like the MCU - appearing in each others videos. Need to watch all channels to keep up with the ongoing story.
Ahahah true :)
Great video! Excellent photography, content, editing and honest narration. Thanks for posting!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's nice to see you and your friends enjoying Georgia without any politics. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels and best wishes.
Thank you!
Very nice video with your friends.
Looks like a fun trip!
After watching Nayasha's vlog it's fun to see your perspective. The images are really breathtaking! If you ever come to Canada, i would be glad to host you ❤
Thank you! One day I’ll definitely make it to Canada!
I am going to Austria for some boarding next week, this video got me really stoked 🙂 Maybe I will try this place next.
Considering I'm not an English native myself I tend to be rather critical about foreign accents but your voice is just so beautiful to listen to. Calm and relaxing. It's so refreshing to be listening to women not screening at their camera. Also, Natasha send me.
I Always enjoy watching your videos
Looked different.... Glad you had fun!
I happen to live in Colorado, where I have some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world.
I live less than an hour away from Breckenridge and other popular ski resorts. Aspen I think is our international ski resort and it is around two hours away.
Lol!!
Thank you for sharing.
This is the second one of your videos I’ve watched and I love your style. You are very engaging and informative. Your content is also interesting. Plus, you are frank without being offensive. I’m a fan.
Wow, thank you!
Ski resorts always look very sad when there is no snow! There was also a lack of snow in the Alps around the beginning of January so you were not alone, it has been a mild winter. I guess we can thank global warming for that :(
Great stuff Dari! I really liked the drone footage, was that you or one of your friends? Also, seems like you're getting more comfortable interviewing the locals. It's a nice touch. Thanks for the smiles. p.s. let your friends know that they need to post more often.😉
Thank you Jim! It was my friend’s drone :)
Great video! Makes me want to go there. You should represent them in their Tourism Office!
Love to see all of you having fun. Dari, great video & vlog.
Enjoy you, Natasha & Anna. 😍😝🎅🎁
Amazing video Dari! The scenery was really fantastic and this was enough to forget the lack of snow. The important thing is to have spent this holiday with your friends. Thank you very much for sharing your holidays in this wonderful country.
Glad you enjoyed it!
No snow? Oh no🥹
You just have to make the best of the situation, Dari 🙂
Most snow resorts are really all about the snow and little else, other than hotels, restaurants, and rental shops.
At least you had each other, and it must have been an amazing scenic ride to get to Gudauri.
Cheers
👋😁
Global warming :-)
I'm from Canada. I'm one hour away from some of the best skiing ever. But if there is no snow it sucks. Go back again when there is a few meters. It was wonderful to see all of you:)
I mean they're using snow cannons. Without no skiing area is perfect
Well done. Nice presentation ❤❤❤
Thanks a lot!
Thanks!
Cheers!
I love this video! I appreciate seeing and learning more about Georgia since we know very little about the country here. Your friends are all a lot of fun, too. Thank you and have a nice week!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job
The first snowboard lessons I had were 60 euro per hour, and that was in 2004. And 15 euro for renting a snowboard and gear is cheap. Nice to see Gudauri again. Visited in the summer of 2018.
Good video 🙂
I am from Scotland but in Brazil 🇧🇷 right now .Just subscribed to your channel
Nice, but in Switzerland it is very expensive and no snow too this year, keep on be positiv
Muled wine sounds delicious on a wintery day.
Glad to see you, Natasha, Alena, and Sasha enjoying a delightful trip. The weather looks like it was perfect for making water into snow. It is crazy that they don't have any snow-making machines for the ski slopes. Happy new year to you all.
They have these machines but it’s still not enough…
Great video with very professional quality. It's lovely to see the personalities of the others shine through in these collaborations.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Can't wait to see where your travels take you next.
More to come!
Another very nice video! It's always good to see you and the other TH-camrs
Thanks!
We (me, my wife, and two sons) travelled from Dubai to Georgia almost 3 weeks before... we first visited Gudauri, and just like you guys, we were very disappointed that there was no snow!!! On top of that, everything was overpriced. We also had the same feelings when we saw our hotel there. It wasn't meeting our expectations. The food was very expensive and not up to the mark in Gudauri. As you guys have rightly mentioned about roads... it made us very tired because we had to struggle a lot on the roads... surprisingly, we found Gudauri not very clean and tidy... even Tiblisi was also not very clean, but our hotel (Wyndham Grand Hotel, Tiblisi) was very nice and right up to the mark. We had great time and fun in Tiblisi, and it compensated our feelings about Gudauri. Tiblisi has lots of lots nice restaurants, and we found "Halal Food" almost everywhere in Tiblisi. The prices in Tiblisi are very reasonable and there are lots of activities there...
Thanks for sharing your experience!
The mountains really look amazing! Now I want to go there...
You should!
Cooool
Cool
Amazing to see how a fresh layer of snow changes everything 😍
Yes exactly!!!
Nice. I can't believe they allow snowmobiles on the hill, there's enough natural hazards to watch out for, they could have at least put in a tow line. If you three like snow activities, you'll love the Canadian Rockies.
Awesome! ❤
Interesting contrast: 3:28 "Грузинская Кухня" (restaurant name in Russian vs. 10:40 "Russia is occupant" 🤷♀️ But hey, they are not wrong with either one: they welcome Russian tourism but reject Russian aggression. Good to see you and the girls (and your new friend) had a relatively good time 💙
❤️
I was confused by that wording. I'm guessing it means Russia is an unwanted occupier in a neighboring country. (Invader basically.)
@@dsmj7389 that's my guess, also. In Russian, we have a word ОККУПАНТ [a-koo-PANT], which means "invader." Maybe Georgian language has a similar word? 🤷♀️
Very interesting and educative video from Georgia and ski resort! Wonderful landscape. You look happy and full of positive energy. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you so much!
I love this trio.
Great views! Thank you for sharing.
Nice video Dari. I enjoyed the tour even without snow for most of it. Once it came though it was beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Good job Dari as always!! 😀😀
Thank you!! 😁
Give my regards to Natasha ))
Beautiful scenery there and it looks better with more snow , nice video Dari,take care
Thank you very much!
At least you await the snow falling, and don't construct it as is often done in ski resorts around the U.S. You think that Snowmobile is noisy, you should get a glimpse of snow making machine at work. Please stay safe and remain happy in the fine climate that Georgia is offering you. Very best wishes to you and your Dunkin' Donuts.
OMG, as a Georgian I feel ashamed for the image of Stalin at 3:48! Weather and high prices are a nuisance, but a "curable" one :)
Absolutely ! but nevertheless they did not put the photo of putler next ! 😁
@@rolandmartin3833 In Georgia putler is referred to as no other than x*ylo, i.e. "d*ckhead". For a good reason
Dari, this video was up there with your best work. Bravo! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your ongoing adventures and the various cultures and traditions you experience. All in all the resort prices are much less than here in the U.S. It's expensive for everything. I'm glad you were able to snow board, if just a little bit. On another note, be grateful for the friends around you. They seem very well spoken and really lovely people. That makes your traveling experiences and friendships so much better.
Not to seem like a "Debbie Downer," but you were experiencing first hand the effects of human-induced climate change. Much of Europe is experiencing very dry winters with late snow fall as well. I can only imagine what the rivers will be like in the springtime. In the U.S., California and the eastern states, on the other hand, are being greatly impacted by an extreme weather dump (too much moisture all at once is just as bad as too little). Massive tornado activity in the south is causing a lot of issues. Damage and destruction all over the place.
In Colorado, our ski resorts are reporting that there will probably be no viable ski season at all in less than 30 years with the diminishing snow pack. Less snow means less usable water for many states that rely on the Rocky Mountains.
Thanks for your comment!!!
Thanks for your comment!!!
It's interesting that they wrote that comment on your bill in English instead of Russian. Might be a story there. Nice trip!!!
Fun good time with friends and you got to snowboard!
Happy Orthodox Christmas, ladies!!
Gudauri is good only in December. You need to go in bakuriani or gideriz now
We have not seen much snow this year, sort of sad . The ski resorts near me , make snow but it's not the same. The resorts out west always seem to get snow. That path was not tourist friendly.
Great video and glad you had a good time enjoying the trip with friends Dari.
We are only at 5200 feet and already have 45 inches of snow in town, not sure of snow depth in the mountains.
Parking lot views out of a window are just a little bit better than that of another building five feet away.
Excellent video Dari! Even though there wasn't much snow overall you were still able to have an enjoyable experience with your friends which was really nice. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your comment!
@@DariStep You are most welcome Dari!
Beautiful country 😊❤
Hi Anna great to see you here 🤗 take care and be safe my friend ✌️ ❤️
You are there with Alina, Natasja AND you?!? HAVE FUN!
As always, inspire to saw your videos. Take care.
Great video Dari! It’s nice to see you getting to enjoy the snow, you got lucky the last day lol. Happy new year!
Thanks! You too!
👍
Большое Спасибо для этого видео! Я понимал немного русского.
Another great video! When you refer to your female friends as “guys” that’s masculine form grammatically. Unless those women identify as men, they should be referred to in the feminine: gals, girls, etc. It’s more common to refer to a mixed group of guys and gals as “guys.” But if all women, it seems strange to hear them referred as “guys.” There’s a famous American musical called “Guys and Gals,” which translates “men and women.” I can’t wait to visit Georgia! I love your videos! Best wishes!
Thanks for sharing this with us always great to watch 🤗 I like to say you are so beautiful 😍 it was nice to see Natasha do you still see Zack I miss see him around 🤗 well please take care of yourself and be safe beautiful 😘 see you on the next video ✌️🤗🙏❤️
In my opinion, the finest religious experiences are those where you meditate. There are many many forms of meditation. When a Christian goes to church and pray in silence. When a Sufi dances. When an environmentalist goes on a walk in nature. I grew up in the Andes mountains. All mountains are magical. There is less oxygen, you are farther from the centre of the Earth and closer to...
The mountain area you were in reminds me of where I live. And like where you were our winter had been mild. Just getting out with friends can be as good as the destination
Very nice Georgia tour I like so much
I have been there
Happy Christmas to you all loved every minute and really glad you four are together. You all gave me a real insight in to life there thanks for this love Davidx
Our pleasure!
It was a good idea to get out of the city and see something new. The weather cannot be changed, and I think this made the stay not as good as it could have been. Also, as you did travel in a group it was cheaper than alone or only with another person. Just as you said, such trips are good to do even when circumstances are not perfect.
Step, Alena, Natasha, blessings in the name of Yeshu the Anointed.
The ski works , by popular demand , its double the pleasure and double the fun , 😀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😈😈
Hi Dari, Alena and Natasha best wishes to you all from across the pond.
Thank you! 😃
Cool!
Dari, You have the best road trips with your friends. I enjoyed your video as usual. Take care of yourself and keep having fun. Hello from Florida.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
That was so cool 😎 you 3 girls are hanging out together and one boy and I see you 👀 fall down I hope did not hurt your self and have fun and stay stay very strong
Alena, in the blue chair. She is the queen of the mountain.
Alena is one of those people who will always look good all her life . Quality that will make her look young when older. A Cleopatra of Russia.
Он первый лыжный курорт без лесов, что я смотрел. Спасибо, Дари!
It looks a bit like a fancy coal mine without snow 😂
May I know which month you traveled
January)
It's nice to see other country, but the accommodation there is over priced. In rest the scenery is looking great. Thank you for the video and enjoy your holiday.
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video! Your friends are awesome! I appreciate your tips on prices and value for your money and safety. Looks like the Resorts and city government need to develop pedestrian walkways and crosswalks for visitor"s safety. Thank you for your hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Paka paka!
Thanks for watching!
Here is another money making idea 💡 In the state of Montana when there is no snow, the ski lift people rent out mountain bikes! Or bring your own bike.
Alena is so cute. She also looks happy. Maybe its time for her to change her channel name to Happy Russian.
Good to see you all having a little Fun Together.... :-))) xxx
Very nice video, Dari! (except the mass murder Stalin on the wall in one scene).
Seems you´re still missing my country (Austria)?
No kitchen? Not even an electric kettle? A kitchen is a big selling point to me, if I´m lodging somewhere. Cooking in the apartment helps keep food costs down. So many places in the world I want to go, but not enough money to do it. The way Panama is geographically situated, it´s quite a reach to get anywhere from the America´s. So I have to plan far ahead and be very selective. To get to the Caucasus and Central Asia from central America, I have to go through Turkey or Dubai.
