Elbrus and Cheget
Freerider's dream: lots of perfect and unexplored off-piste terrain. The only letdown is the long lift queues and badly maintained runs, but you won't notice if there's lots of snow.
ON THE SLOPES Perfect, except the queues.
OFF THE SLOPES Hospitable southern village.
MONEY WISE Cheap or expensive - however you want it
