Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Reviving skiing in Afghanistan: a lone mission
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

A former ski champion is working to restore skiing to Afghanistan, after two decades of war and a collapse of the sport.

Afghanistan had a modest ski area at Arghandab, not far from Kabul, with a ski lift. There was enough enthusiasm to promote a ski team to international competition, but now the sport barely exists. "The mountain is full of mines" says Hamayoon Kargar, who used to compete for the country.

Here's the full Reuters report.
Quote:
Kargar, who is also coach of the national football team, wants to introduce skiing to a new generation but he said Afghanistan would need help if people are to get back on the slopes.

"I request the international community to provide us with equipment because we can't find it here in Afghanistan," he said.
