There would also be Matroosberg near Cape Town that I would curious to check out if there is snow.Tony Crocker":11fyqyw5 said:Winter is an attractive tourist season in southern Africa, the best season for safari camps. So spending one day to claim the 7th continent is a likely scenario for me if I'm there anyway sometime for 2-3 weeks. (...) Since that part of southern Africa has a summer wet/winter dry climate, it is 100% WROD skiing on about 700 vertical.Patrick":11fyqyw5 said:I can't wait to see your reaction when I ski at Tiffindell and Afriski in South Africa/Lesotho.
Tony Crocker":11fyqyw5 said:Patrick has often stated a preference for long continuous fall lines. (...) So it's hard to see why he was impressed by Perisher's barely 1,000 vertical which sbooker from Brisbane describes as flat.Patrick":11fyqyw5 said:I definitely preferred Perisher and Hotham over Thredbo.
Perisher is huge and they are some steep parts which you can lap with certains lifts. Anyway good enough for the Canadian and French Freestyle team.

Nonetheless it was great to see Patrick catch a break in Australia considering he skied New Zealand in a very bad year.Patrick":11fyqyw5 said:I knew that Australia was having their best season in a generation
I wouldn't call it a very bad year, I had a great time. Skied 7 days, travelled 4400km across two islands over 3 weeks. Australia was somewhat the same idea, but I had less time. Same amount of ski days, 2600km over 2 weeks (I couldn't manage more time).
