A Kosovo snowboarder executes a jump on the slopes of Brezovica, southwestern Kosovo March 4, 2006. Kosovo is preparing to privatise its only ski resort, a crumbling, smoke-filled tribute to Socialist chic and one of the few lifelines of the Serb minority in the U.N.-run province. Brezovica was famous in the former Yugoslavia for its white-knuckle pistes and daredevil skiers flocking to the resort's three hotels high on the slopes of the Shar mountains. But untouched by investment and isolated by war, the 1970s complex has fallen into disrepair. Picture taken March 4, 2006. TO ACCOMPANY STORY SERBIAMONTENEGRO-KOSOVO-SKIING REUTERS/Hazir Reka -
