The road climbs out of Kutaisi and the air thins; spruce and fir press close, and the fields open like a high plateau dusted in white. By mid-morning the van deposits you at Bakhmaro, a mountain clearing at roughly 2,000 meters where wind and snow shape the slopes and the trees lean into the weather.
