The air is crisp, the ground is covered in white as far as your eye can see and as you breathe out you see your breath as the cold seems to form it into brief, tiny clouds. You’ve dressed so warmly with all your padded clothing that you can’t even stand up properly. You don’t think you can even remember when last your fingers felt so numb. This is everything that you will see and experience as you stand high in the Drakensburg Mountains, but the endurance is all worth it once you go down that slope.

Snow rushes are possible

Whoever said that skiing in South Africa is impossible, hasn’t been to the Tiffindell Ski Resort. Situated the southern Drakensberg Mountains, it’s a skier’s paradise, the 700m slope, your playground. It’s as magical as it is unbelievable. Tiffindell Ski Resort epitomizes everything that a ski resort should. From its great slopes to the Swiss – alpine style chalets to the coziness of relaxing by the log fire with good company on those cold nights. 
 

Even beginners can enjoy the ride

The slope offers something for everyone, from the beginner who is finding their feet, to the advanced powder junkie. Skiing and snowboarding comes highly recommended as the adrenaline rush is truly worth it. The snow accepts snow angels of all ages, shapes and sizes – and even to the odd snowman being built out of it. The staff help make the experience even better with their warm hospitality. The resort provides bed and breakfast, child care, medical and spa facilities which are available to visitors as well as residents.

Skiing in the Drakensburg definitely deserves to be on your top ten list of things to do in 2008.
