Ah, ubusika. Akukho lutho olunjengokungena ngegag of cocoa eshisayo phambi komlilo oqhekezayo. Eqinisweni, umoya obandayo oshaya ubuso bakho njengoba uhamba phansi entabeni eqhwayo kuhle kakhulu. Khona-ke, ukwakha isithwathwa seqhwa eduze kwama-giants formations formations okuyinto eyizinkulungwane zeminyaka ubudala emangalisayo. Kulungile, ngakho-ke kukhona izinto eziningi ezimnandi zokwenza ezinyangeni zasebusika. Ngenhlanhla, izwe lethu linikeza ezinye izindawo ezihle kakhulu ukwenza lokhu: amapaki kazwelonke.

Wonke amapaki kazwelonke afanelwe ukuvakashelwa, kodwa abambalwa bancenga ukuthi bahambele ebusika. Lezi amapaki zinikeza umbono oyingqayizivele womhlaba wabo kanye nemisebenzi yonyaka ukuze bajabulele wonke umndeni. Kusukela olwandle olwandle lwaseMpumalanga kuya ezintabeni zentshonalanga, amapaki okulandelayo kazwelonke angcono kakhulu ekujabuliseni ubusika.

Ngamazinga okushisa ngokuvamile ema-30s nase-40s ekuphakameni okuphansi kwepaki, izivakashi zingazizwa zingenakusiza emoyeni, kodwa uzizwa ukhululekile ukujabulela ukuhamba ngezinyawo.

Uma ulwandle olusendle nolwandle olumangalisayo alwanele, i-Olympic inesinye isimo esingakunikeza: Isiphepho i-Ridge, esibizwa ngokuthi yimimoya yaso ebusika eqinile. Le ndawo enentaba inikeza indawo ephelele yokuhamba ngezindiza, ukushisa i-snowboarding, i-sledding, i-tubing, ukuhamba ngezindiza ezisezindaweni ezihamba phambili, nokukhwabanisa.

Okwenza Ufanele Uhambe: Izinketho eziningi zisho ukucindezeleka okuncane.
