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.

Stuff - definition
that which either cannot be thrown away because it has sentimental value[1] or was given to you by someone you still know[2] or might in some, impossible to foresee, weird or inimaginable future circumstance turn out to be useful after all[3] or is simply getting in the way of other things that haven’t yet been relegated to stuff-status[4].

Current difficulties

Planning controversy

Planning permission hearings for the mountains had been a focus of intense lobbying by dozens of minority interest parties from the newly-formed Slabwide Mountaineering Association (SMA) and the Extreme Snowboarding Club (ESC) to the organisers of the Alpine Yodelling Competition (AYC) and the SlabWide Cycling Federation (FCS). This latter body fought for the right to have treacherous, gravel covered roads cut into the sides of the lower slopes so they could hold bi-cycle bicycle races which lasted several weeks and covered thousands of kilometres. Everyone suspects the FCS are insane but they proved to be the best financed and organised.[5]
