Skiiing in Tsakhadzor

Today, on our first trip together outside the city, we went to Tsakhadzor - Armenia's only ski area. 45-minutes outside the city on the way to Lake Sevan, the site was a Soviet Olympic training center. Above the tree line and with gentle slopes, it's a good place for beginning skiiers, and at just an hour outside the city and with no lines at the lifts it's a great day trip. While there we had two sightings of Armenia's most famous skier - President Robert Kocharian. Check out our photos in the slideshow view.
