 Poster: A snowHead
|
One of the world's more obscure ski destination is Maluti in Lesotho, southern Africa, which has pistes only 300m to 400m long. Not surprisingly the snow there is very exposed to the sun, so conserving it is a preoccupation.
This photo shows (left of shot) the black canopies that are set up to put one run in shadow. This can be pretty effective.
They also send a van with a snowman round to top up the home runs, as required.
If anyone wants a vanful of snow I'll see if I can get his number. Tesco don't do this.

Seems that I've been foiled by a very attractive girl in a string vest.

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

David Goldsmith, unfortunately neither link works. You get a rather pleasant shot of a scantily clad young lady wound up in a very long mouse cord saying 'Hot Links are not permitted.'
Edit - you've found a workaround - well done.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks, Ian. That girl suddenly appeared on the scene, and I was just recovering the situation - and my composure - when you posted!

No they're not. I'm on my way to Lesotho with a webcam.

David Goldsmith, I don't think you need to bother to go that far, sure I recognise her, she's from Clapham...

She's certainly in better condition than the Lesotho Pistes.

I bet she wouldn't do that with a boa constrictor
