looking for an unusual place to ski (alpine) ?

A ski slope located just outside St. John's, Newfoundland
offers the hardy of soul a view of the Atlantic Ocean as they 
nimbly dodge bare spots on it's understandably patchy slopes. 
 
Rumored to be the only such (registered) ski slope in North America 
offering such a fascinating combination of sensations and sights,
it presents unique opportunities. For those so inclined, a five
minute walk will take you down to the ocean where you can sit and
watch the magnificent blue icebergs as they glide slowly past
the coast. A Marine Lab, run by the Memorial University of
Newfoundland is also located here and offers tours of it's facil-
ities. 

Elevation is not dramatic, as might be expected! However the looks
of disbelief (and pity) of friends gathered around the fire in your
favorite ski lodge make it a worthwhile adventure.

Seafood, unfortunately is not offered by the simple canteen located
in the slope's main lodge.
