Visitor Reviews of Afri-Ski


african adventurer from South Africa writes:

Another ~800km successful weekend roundtrip, leaving many SA squatter camps with their squalor behind- crossing into a rather clean rural Lesotho- past a single manned roadblock- greeting it by "Dumela Ntate", a smile, a quick joke- we were curving our way around crossing sheeps, goats and screetching children up once more past Moteng Pass and further over the 3,222m Mahlasela pass to the 'skiing fields'!

Afri-Ski resort greeted us with the first arrival of spring and 'firn' snow on the slopes! The deep freeze seemed finally be broken!

This time, the 'piste' offered a different surface, a bit choppy in the afternoons- due to the sunny but warmer weather and the ever increasing number of 'slope scratchers'- an alien species born in a weak moment between skiers, hobbits and beach bums!

"Roadblocks": Lesotho love roadblocks! Usually they consist of 2 opposing stop signs @ 100m apart- police in the middle! You are required to stop and stay put at the stop sign until the officer waves to you to proceed to him in the middle and stop again! Should you stop but continue without being waved on- you committed an offense of ignoring a stop sign! Argumentative behaviour will land you in trouble! An apologetic and jovial attitude will save your day! Spot fines are legal but must be accompanied by an official receipt- no need to bribe anybody! You are a guest in Lesotho- behave like one! Remember: you require 2 warning triangles, buckle up and have a valid vehicle and drivers licence (no 21 days grace is allowed in Lesotho as is in SA- your SA car 3rd party is also not valid in Lesotho- check with your insurance!) Should you have valid problems visit the Butha Buthe traffic police!

The Afri-Ski snowmakers assured us that the white stuff would outlast the sun for at least 2 more weekends. It was another great weekend where our bodies and resort fired on all six cylinders! - See you in summer for a walk to the Mont-Aux-Sources @ 3,282m!
