Jeremy and I traveled to Georgia to celebrate New Years. No, not Atlanta, Georgia! For my U.S.-focused, international-geography challenged friends, the country of Georgia shares a border with Azerbaijan.
We reached the ski resort of Gudauri on New Years Eve and rang in the New Year outside in the snow. We drank some champagne (straight out of the bottle-very classy!), lit some sparklers, and set off "fireworks" which in reality were just large sparklers. But luckily for us, there were real fireworks nearby to lend an authentic celebratory air to the evening.

But the majority of the holiday was focused on skiing. Having been deprived of skiing for several years now, Jeremy was psyched to have a full weekend dedicated to the slopes. The conditions were quite good...it snowed every night leaving a fresh layer of powder on the slopes...and the afternoons brought blue, sunny skies. The resort had plenty of runs to keep both average skiers like me and expert skiers like Jeremy happy. Plus the snow-capped mountain landscape was absolutely stunning! It was a fun start to 2016.
