Gudauri’s premier English-speaking ski school.
Ski, snowboard, or freeride // every level, Individual or small group, half or full-day with English-speaking certified instructors.
We love to have fun in the snow and we want you to love it too. Here is what sets us apart.
Every instructor at Vagabond teaches comfortably in English. You can ask exactly what is on your mind and get a clear answer. No guessing what they meant. No miscommunication on the slope. Many of our team also speak Czech, German, Russian, Hungarian, French, or Georgian, so we can often teach in your language if you prefer.
7 languages across the team
Most of our instructors are APUL-certified, with others holding certifications from PSIA, BASI, and APSI, all earned through independent international bodies. You're learning with people who've been properly trained and tested. Whether you're seeing snow for the first time or looking for expert advice on your off-piste form, we've got you covered.

We're in Gudauri all winter, not just the busy weekends, so we know the mountain inside out. Where the good snow hides, the quiet corners, the runs that will suit you best. Every lesson is built around you, not a script. Show up ready to ski, and leave wanting more.

“This is our second year coming back to snowboard with Chris. My kids went from not knowing anything to being able to snowboard down the mountain on their own. He was very patient and personable. Taylor and the whole staff are pleasant to deal with and I definitely recommend them.”

“I booked a week of coaching with Levi to improve my carving and off-piste technique and the outcome of his lessons exceeded my expectations. I can fully recommend vagabond to any advanced skier/snowboarder/freerider who wants to top up their riding and spend their vacation with fun, passionate professionals.”

“I had ski lessons with Chiara and Taylor from Vagabond and I loved them so much that I decided to cancel my next holiday to Switzerland and come back to Gudauri instead to ski with the Vagabonds again! Absolutely professional, extremely competent for intermediate and advanced level ski lessons - I am so happy that I found such a high quality service in Georgia!”
