Believe it or not, Africa has 17,000 foot peaks that are just north of the equator that has a permanent glacier. I doubt it would be skiable tho. Considering its at least a weeks hike through the jungle, not to mention the weather is often very foggy, lots of rain, and unpredictable. Credit for this goes to the Discovery Channel

Nice find. That is sick. Snowmaking has got to be kind of a bitch there. Wondering where they get the water from.

You gotta love geography. Turkey is actually pretty far from Africa, and has never and will never be considered even remotely connected to Africa. Dear lord, this is stupid, just look at a fucking map!

Probably the big lake in the background at 3:14

There is also skiing in South Africa with a park, but once again its all snowboarders, I think a pro needs to go out there to both resorts and show them how it is done!
