Raider Of The Lost Snow

Episode 4 - Armenia

 

Not far from the Armenian capital of Yerevan is the resort of Tsaghkadzor on the Eastern slope of Mt Teghenis. While Krasnaya Polyana might soon become a household name, Tsaghkadzor is destined to remain in obscurity. Why visit such a ski resort? Because nobody else does. Curiosity . Because it exists. To discover culture and people. Jimmy discovers that Mt. Ararat, now across the border in Turkey, is still the national symbol of Armenia. Hey, maybe Noah's Arc is hidden under the snow in Armenia rather than on Ararat! Jimmy goes in search of the arc on a ski tour high above Armenia's largest body of water, Lake Sevan. He also visits a strange ancient observatory similar to Stonehenge, except that nobody knows about it. He learns that Armenia is a land of ancient churches and monasteries dotted across the landscape and it is also home to many kind and generous people. Jimmy ends the show with a visit to the Ararat brandy distillery.
