Right now, that looks like van Reenen's Pass...

Anyway, you don't come to South Africa to snow ski. You come to SA to do lots of other things, but if you really, really want to snow ski, you can...

Yup, I had a truck stuck on Van Reenens for two days last week. That's after he was stuck in Warden for a day. It took him four days to get from Joburg to Durban. That's a loooot of moola down the drain.
PS: fleetline15, just like Ron said .... there are hundreds of reasons to come to S.A. anyway, even if snow skiing isn't one of them.

Nope. I don't have any pictures of him stuck there in the snow. Looks like this normally.

Google Tiffindale (I think it is called Tiffindale Ski Resort), near the town called Rhodes - near Barkley West I think - hell I was there a long time ago. Jeffreys Bay is good for surfing. Come over anyway
