In Sarıkamış the air cuts sharper, the pine smell runs heavier, and the snow sits more stubbornly than anywhere else. Ski runs get the attention, but the quiet forest trails carry just as much character — head up from the center and the crowd thins, your breathing deepens, your steps slow. Can't settle on a plan? Throw the dice and go wherever it lands. Pine forest or slope, neither one will steer you wrong.
