The Mofam organising committee once again pulled out all the stops for the hosting of the Western Province Open held from 15-17 Jan '10.

The traditional pre-tournament slalom classic started at 9am sharp with the intention of giving the 40 plus skiers 2 rounds. Unfortunately there were some timing technical problems which meant the 1st round took 6 hours to complete, and the 2nd round was postponed, allowing the 1st round of the WP Open tricks to commence.

Saturday skiers were greeted with near perfect conditions with a slight breeze fro the south, just enough to take the wash away. The 1st round of slalom went off without a glitch, which was followed by 2 rounds of jump. It was great to see a large contingent of Namibian jumpers. SA had better up their game if they intend to keep their All African Champion status. A full day of skiing came to an end close to 7pm after the 2nd round of tricks.

The 2nd round of the Open slalom event started Sunday morning at 6:30am. While some were still recovering from the night before, others were tearing up the water in awesome conditions. The early start meant an early finish, allowing the organiser to finish the 2nd round of the classic before the event came to a close.

Thanks to all at Mofam for their hospitality and look forward to next years event
