cool

"In the southern Drakensberg there is a ski resort called Tiffindell which is open from late May to Early September. Tiffindell may receive as much as 2.5 metres of snow during good skiing years."

I think I remember a Warren Miller segment in Africa a few years back - days of hiking through the jungle to shred some tiny section of snow. When I make it to Africa I'll be sure to be doing something more interesting than skiing, maybe getting chased by lions or something.

A graphical regional map would be so cool.  I have seen some sites where you can build your park and then click on it.  I forgot the website name, that would be so much better if it was on here.

correct, mount kenya, mt kilama however you spell it has snow too. The atlas mountains in morocco have skiing, and south africa has skiing. TGR went to the atlas mountains in one of their recent movies. I cant remember which.
