HiAwesome, welcome to Pugski, Ed! Where in Africa? Where do you normaly ski?
Hmm, you have not been following the FIS calendar carefully enough or tracking the ski racing ambitions of musicians . Vanessa Mae raced Slalom at Tiffendell in South Africa as part of her attempt to qualify for the Winter Olympics. I guess that way there could not be accusations that the race was created just for her benefit as in her previous attempt. I hadn't heard of Afriski but did a 4x4 trip across Lesotho about 20 years ago. The resort is probably not too dependent on skiing, it is near some world class mountain scenery. You do not get a lot of pictures that do it justice but that whole area is where Lord of the Rings should have been filmed.Never knew there was skiing down in the south of Africa. Pretty big infrastructure for one slope. Can one ski off piste or is it unreliable?
Yep, didn't even know there was a Lesotho. Last guy I remember from Africa at the Olympics I thought trained inside in England mostly.Hmm, you have not been following the FIS calendar carefully enough or tracking the ski racing ambitions of musicians .
