The two skiing Directors named on the site are Ian and Jane McGarry who have been in the industry a long time and used to run a chalet in Chatel teaching skiers.
Tiffindel was just being developed when I was there. I think they may have snow making now - they certainly didnt when I was out in S.A.
I skied in Lesotho a few week-ends. Wits ski club had a few rope tows up there and we stayed in a very dodgy lodge owned by a Greek bloke who was married to a local. Great fun but I wouldnt rush to book it for your next holiday :D
The drive from Maseru up to the lodge is one of the scariest drives I've ever done, really steep gravel tracks with the longest drops I've ever seen at the side of a road.
Great memories though, I havn't thought about it for a while.
Bugger :roll: Did you skin up today?
They have opened up later this year. This date last year I was skiing Zinal.
Vercorin was open at the weekend.
No, Zinal was open today, it's a public holiday in the Valais

Did you manage to ski at Tiffindel or any of the other resorts in South Africa? That is cool!

In the meantime, I plan on checking out this rather interesting addition to the "skiing opportunities" available in Dublin:

I had a look into the centre and it looks pretty cool - they claim that it very good for perfecting technique, while not having to spend ages going up a drag for a short run down a dry slope is a definite plus :D

I would be interested to hear about it, I think i would be like that feeling when the train on the other platform moves and you think your train is, if you know what I mean )

No, after next weekend Zinal stays open and the rest of the Anniviers opens on the 20th. All open next weekend with the possible exception of Vercorin where I've no idea.
