Tsaghkadzor is Armenia's only ski resort. It's a 50-minute drive from Yerevan and worth the kamikaze marshrutkas whizzing by on bald tires.
Tsaghkadzor boasts wide groomed slopes, 3 new European-made chairlifts, and high quality rental equipment. I rented skies and poles for the day for $14.00, and all-day lift passes cost $27.00.

Maybe the best part of Tsaghkadzor is the lack of people. You can ski from the top of the mountain to the base and only pass a handful of skiers and snowboarders. The international presence is high, and I overheard a lot of Russian speakers.

Tsaghkadzor isn't without its quirks. First, the runs aren't steep. I couldn't find a piste with a gradient steeper than a Blue, and you may find yourself pulling your snowboarding friends along the flat stretches.

When you alight from a chairlift in Tsaghkadzor- watch out! You will not find a small slope gliding you down and away from the chair's path. When you get off in Tsaghkadzor the ground is flat and the chair doesn't slow down while scramble out of its path.
The snowcats groom at all times and will run you over. My buddy and I were taking a tight corner and were nearly Sonny Bonoed by a snowcat moving up the mountain.
The quirks don't dampen the fun, however, and I had a blast both times! I'll be heading back.
