Snow extravaganza for Joburg
Artificial snow, ski slopes, stunts, professional snowboarding competitions, an ice-bar, snow play areas and husky dogs are intended to delight visitors both young and old when Tiffindell Ski Resort, South Africa's only ski resort, transforms a section of Montecasino into a winter wonderland, Thursday 30 August – Sunday 2 September 2007.
Professional snowboarders and skiers will thrill fans by performing stunts on the 80-metre ski slope, and 50- and 30-metre ski slopes will be erected for visitors to try their hand at bumboarding. The ice-bar, husky dogs, an adult snow play area and a children's snow play area will ensure that kids of all ages are catered for, and with loads of guaranteed fun to be had.
The entire snow village will see around 560 cubic metres of snow being generated per day, with 40 cubic metres of snow brought in per day for the snow ball fights alone!
Extreme Snow will take place in the new outdoor section of Montecasino alongside the Piazza.
