Please be advised that the severe weather has caused essential service disruptions in the Maluti Mountains which have affected the power supply and cellular services to the resort.
All guests are safe and reestablishing these services are a priority for both management and our various Lesotho counter parts. The national electricity supplier has sent a helicopter to reestablish the resorts power supply and Vodacom technicians have started repair work on the cell towers.
Meanwhile on the resort, the lifts are running and guests are experiencing the magic of African snow.
Road services are currently clearing snow from the roads. We will be in touch with progress reports as conditions normalize.

My feet slipped all over the place and I was grateful to have an ice axe to help cut steps (snow too hard to kick them). I would have needed crampons to get up the pass safely so had a day of fun on the contour path instead. The snow should still be impressive this weekend
