			As the name suggests, the surfaces of the mountains are considerably more slippery than had been originally intended. The SMA have lodged a formal protest which will undoubtedly come to nothing. However the reverse snow-line that is left behind by the traversing sun is an embarrassment to everyone and it is hoped that a solution will be found before the official opening date.<ref>if anyone knows when this is going to be, can they please tell us?

The Graphite mountain range is the popular name for the Ustorian Alps in [[AllWeather]]. Owned and operated by U-store SLC they will, when fully operational help to relieve one of the biggest problems OnSlab, that is; the accumulation of stuff.

==Original plans==

==Scale of the 'Stuff' problem==

Despite the [[Gift Armistice]] of 765, SlabCitizens have been drowning under the accumulation of stuff for far too long.
