Following our recent article about the ski resort for sale in Pakistan, we have recently learned that South Africa's leading ski organisation, The Springbok Ski Club, established in 1968, is available for sale.

The Springbok Ski Club is South Africa's oldest and largest commercially operated ski organisation. It consists of ski shop, artificial indoor ski slopes, and a ski travel/tour operation.

Now over 34 years old, the club is well established with an excess of 40 000 members.

Great Investment Opportunity

The Club incorporates three viable businesses all located on the main thoroughfare, Jan Smuts Avenue, the hub of South Africa's business centre in Johannesburg.

THE SKI & WINTERSPORTS SHOP: three stories of prime location - largest of its kind in Africa
SPRINGBOK SKI CLUB HOLIDAYS: ski reservations and ski travel
SKI DECK®: South Africa's popular indoor ski school in Johannesburg

NB A large Scuba Diving School/Shop/Travel business next door, on the same property, is also owned by the same owner could be incorporated into the deal (see www.scubadiving.co.za)


This going concern includes:

- the stock in the shop
- clothing and equipment rental stock
- equipment for the Ski Decks (skis, poles, boots)
- the membership/client lists as well as its extensive and well established website (www.ski.co.za)

The sale is due to the fact that the founder/managing director/CEO wishes to retire.

New Ski Resort in South Africa

Especially interesting is the news of a commercial ski resort (Afri-Ski) being developed in Lesotho only 4½ hours away, PLUS the multi million expansion of the existing ski resort development Tiffendale in the Eastern Cape Province (see: www.afriski.co.za and www.snow.co.za)
