Hi,

I, like many others out there, have a couple of old sets of skis in loft gathering dust. I'd like to find a way to send them to people who would appreciate getting some use out of them in Pakistan, as I have family ties there. I hear that some fledgling skiing is beginning again in war torn parts of the country. As much as I would like to go and ski this area myself at the moment i don't have the finances to manage it, and so until then I'd like to post my old gear out there.

I know that Fredrik Ericsson has been out there...

Does anyone at Fall-line have some friends they made out there that they can put me in touch with?

Thanks,

Jahangir

Hi again Jahangir,


I have been emailing Pakistan and have made some progress - There are three charities that would be interested in recieving old ski gear - I will email you their details shortly so you can contact them yourselves, though we might also try and set something up with them and see if any other readers would be interested in donating them too...
