We live by the philosophy that experiences are what create the most happiness in life, and we’re here to give you the knowledge and ability to create your own ski experiences for the rest of your life.
Our passion is skiing, and there’s nothing in the world that gives us greater joy than enabling others to enjoy doing what we love most. With dedicated ski instructors from around the world, we guarantee you a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience in a language you understand. You’ll find it much easier to learn skiing with a fluent English speaker who can articulate exactly how to adjust your center of gravity in order to direct the force vector of your skis and increase your friction against the snow surface (don’t worry, non-physicists, we adapt our teaching method to each and every skier’s learning style).
Our instructors come from the USA, Canada, Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia, and all have experience teaching skiers of all ages and ability levels in English. We are familiar with Western cultures and understand the service that our students deserve. Being travelers ourselves, we appreciate the difficulties of visiting a new destination, and we’re here to help make your transition into the Georgian ski community as easy and exciting as possible!

To say that Taylor is an amazing ski instructor would not do justice to what he has been for me. Since my first contact with him by WhatsApp (following a friend’s recommendation), through each of our lessons, he has exceeded all of my expectations. By way of context, when I arrived in Gudauri, I could not ski. My stretch goal for the end of the 4 days here was to learn to parallel turn (though I was keeping my ambitions in check!). With Taylor’s help, I was making parallel turns by the end of day 1, skiing blue runs by the morning of day 3 and doing the red runs on my fourth day! Of course there were falls (all part of the fun) moments of panic (largely from overthinking things), but what stands out the most is the laughter, the feeling of accomplishment, the incredible Georgian food that Taylor introduced me to and even a night out sampling some local Chacha (dangerous stuff...). I have a long way to go with skiing (body positioning, speed, spins, jumps, black runs off piste...) and I cannot wait to continue my lessons with Taylor when I return to Gudauri.
If you are looking for a fluent English speaking Ski instructor with a friendly attitude look no further than Taylor Beckwith-Ferguson. At 50 years of age I have little ski experience, so my wife and I booked Taylor during our trip to Gudauri. Taylor is a great instructor, patient, friendly, and extremely experienced. He had me skiing down the green slopes in no time and after two days’ instruction I was heading out on my own. Not only can he help older folk like me he is great with children of all ages and more experienced skier. Taylor was a font of knowledge helping with ski hire and advice on the village life. He provided a 5-star service, I would definitely recommend you book Taylor for your ski instruction.
My friend and I had two days lessons with Taylor during our trip to Gudauri and it was definitely the best decision! Taylor is perfect for us. He is exceptionally patient, skillful, chill,and did I mention the part that he is native English speaker which made the difference? My first ski experience was amazing thanks to Taylor and I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an English speaking ski coach with great patient, and you are all set to have a lot of fun skiing!

Taylor is great. Very patient and knows skiing inside and out. He packed a lot of helpful instruction into a relatively short amount of time. It's rare to find someone who knows as much as he does and also is really into teaching.

Skiing with Taylor was awesome. We were in Gudauri for 2 days and had a few hours of lesson with Taylor. It was our first time and definitely will not be our last !!! If you are planning a trip to Georgia do not forget to include skiing with Taylor in your itinerary. I am no trip advisor but i will say this is the top #1 thing to do in Georgia 🙂

I want to highly recommend Taylor Beckwith as a ski instructor! I would ski with him any day and recommend him for any ski level, from beginning to advanced. He has been amazing with my daughter, who is just 2 years and 2 months old! I didn't think she would last 10 minutes in skis the first time, with the heavy boots and the cold and interacting with a stranger. But she absolutely loved Taylor and after the hour was up, wanted to keep going! He has begun teaching her the basics but most importantly, given her a great first impression of and love for the sport. Every day I hear, "I want to ski with Mr Taylor, go FAST!" It's music to my ears.

Taylor was an awesome instructor who was able to teach three of my children to ski well and to love the sport. Endless patience and extremely encouraging - I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great english-speaking instructor
[review from http://www.gudauri.info/ski_instructors/]
Taylor was a great instructor -- especially because I was a pure beginner! He has patience, and does an excellent job at breaking down every single step. Pizza and french fries! Oh, and he's a native English speaker, which really does help when picking up something as challenging as skiing.
Taylor was a kind and patient instructor for our group. He is a wonderful instructor and guide for skiers of all levels. Durin our lesson, he always ensured that we were safe while also encouraging us to test our new skills. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, patient, and above all fun instructor for all levels!
My kids love Taylor. They took about 8 hours from him of ski lessons. They are doing great and talk abou Taylor non stop.
