 Poster: A snowHead
|
Speaking of odd ski areas, I was in Cyrpus last weekend and was taken on a tour of the Troudos (sp?) mountains, including their one and only ski area (from their books about 200m vertical). C**ppy weather day mostly foggy, but having taken in a few monasteries and other stuff, seeing a ski lift and yellow piste basher, we turned a corner and actually found some snow, road was covered in it, our poor driver seemed gobsmached and a little concerned! Is this common for Cyprus at this time of year.
PS On the flight back flew over Zell am See and no snow on Smitthone (sp?), couldn't see Kaprun as on wrong side of plane.

Weird huh? You can ski in the morning and scuba dive in the afternoon...
There are loads of weird places. Morroco, Turkey, Lebanon, I think we discussed this here before.
One of the ski magazines has a section for skiing in strange places, one of the recent issues was Greece. If you get your timing right it sounds pretty good to me...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

parlor, If you think about it you can probably ski in any country that has mountains - whether you'd want to is another matter of course. I've heard (first hand) of ski-ing by Donkey in peru, I know someone who worked in turkey, and have spoken to Lebanese who reckon their ski-ing is pretty goof. You can ski in Corsica and Sicily as well.

I've skied in Cyprus.
I was 6 at the time and it was brilliant. Think I'd find it pretty cr@p now though!

I've done that (just for a morning). Weird to be able to see the Med. from the pistes.

rob@rar.org.uk weird to see the Pacific ocean from the pistes, too. Ok, so it takes a bit of eye-squinting but you can just do it on a good day in NZ....
