Quiksnow 2011 Preview - Lesotho is covered in Snow



I always get a lot of raised eyebrows when I tell the International community that not only do we have snow in the deep south of Africa, but a hard core (More core in the bar maybe?) snowboard crew and our own National Champs. But believe it my guy, cause it is true! For the last 7 years I have been involved with the Quiksnow SA Snowboarding Champs and it has always been an amazing event.

This year we have been blessed with days of snowfall prior to this weekend's festivities and at this point many of us are simply hoping we will be able to get into the mountains of Lesotho to Afriski - the Southern African Snow resort. I leave from Cape Town this evening, on the mammoth 14 hour drive mission, oping to get some riding in tomorrow afternoon, prior to the trials on Friday and the finals and usual anarchic party on Saturday. So expect sporadic updates from the 3600m above sea level resort of mayhem and party! Our theGoodLife crew will be there to shoot for our Supersport Show and we will no doubt have some good footage to show you soon.

In the meantime, check out footage from my last filming trip to the highlands...
