Ski enthusiasts use a ski-lift to reach the top as others queue at Afriski in the Maluti Mountains of the Southern African Kingdom of Lesotho on August 6, 2024. Surrounded by the remote brown mountains of a country in drought, the resort's three small slopes are this year layered in artificial snow created with water pumped from eight surrounding dams. It is a rare winter treat that attracts visitors from the continent and beyond to Afriski, which is back with a buzz this season after power cuts and other issues kept it closed in 2023.
At 3,000 metres (10,000 feet) in the Maluti Mountains, the resort has weathered a series of challenges since it opened 22 years ago. (Photo by Phill Magakoe / AFP)
