The Second Ski Trip
The photos on this trip are of the second-ever group coach tour from Kyrenia (organised by Cyprus
Mountaineering) to ski in the Troodos Mountains following the relaxation of the border controls,
which enabled freer passage to the south from the north of Cyprus.
Hatice Ozalp was the second Turkish Cypriot to take advantage of the ski trips to Troodos

Troodos in March can get quite warm!

Apres-ski relaxation for Aristos and Hatice at the Sun Valley Cafeteria
The Sun Valley Cafeteria - not at all like the up-market bars of the Alps, but very adequate!
A celebratory round of Zivania ( a Cypriot type of schnapps) being enjoyed at the end of the day
