Weird and Wonderful: Ski Slopes in Summer
It is amazing to think of the diversity of sub cultures alive and thriving around us all the time. I recently got lost in Stoke on Trent and came across one of the oddest places that I have ever seen. It was a traditional ski chalet built next to a dry ski slope. You walked in and there were the traditional benches where people would sit and put on skis and a bar, all kitted out in wood panelling that served things like mulled wine and hot chocolate. The thing is, there was not a flake of snow in sight and it was 21 degrees out! There was no need to wear ski jackets or anything of the sort, but the skiers were wearing all of the kit.
