Does anyone ski tour in South Africa / Lesotho?
Does anyone ski tour in South Africa / Lesotho?
Does anyone manage to ski tour in southern Africa? I am looking for someone who would be prepared to give a short (15-20min) talk online for a British ski touring club. Not about the Tiffandal and Afriski resorts - about anything further afield. That is if it is even possible to go further afield on skis.

Re: Does anyone ski tour in South Africa / Lesotho?
Hi all,
I know this thread is a few years old, but anymore info on this at all?
We are currently living in Switzerland, where I ski tour a lot (see attached), but we will be moving back to SA in January (long story), and I was thinking of taking one of my touring setups with (the rest I'm leaving here with the in-laws).
I'm familiar with camping in and chasing snow in the Jonkershoek Mountains, Drakensberg, and Matroosberg (although land access here is difficult).
But never the skiing scene (if any).
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Otherwise I will likely just start from scratch and build my own info base once there.

This past winter, if you'd gotten the timing correct, you could have probably skied the Drakensberg Grand Traverse
Happy climbing
