Ski Resorts

Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort. The 2014 Sochi Olympic alpine skiing and snowboarding competitions will be held at this new ski park. The resort gets its unusual name from the owner of the land, a well-off Estonian named Eduard Rosa. "Khutor," meanwhile, means "village" in the local dialect. The park has 44 miles of ski runs, 14 chair lifts, and the capacity to host 7,000 spectators per day. During the summer, warm-weather extreme sports, like rafting, mountain biking, and climbing will be available here.
