Rab and Jack, pardon my ignorance, but what is the name of the mountain range that runs through central Lebanon? And is skiing really big in said country? I have never really seen or heard a review from a Lebanese ski resort, nor even thought about top-notch skiing in Lebanon. I would sure love to make it a vacation though.
Well, it is mainly called Mount Lebanon, it is stretches almost on the length of the country and has different peaks. Because there is a range parallel to that further inside the land on the Syrian borders, they two ranges are known by the names, Western Mountains and Eastern Mountains, but no one actually uses these names.
I would not say skiing is big or small, I know that the slopes are good enough for someone to enjoy the sport. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they are the only ski slopes in the region and they used to attract many tourists before the civil war and became to attract more the past years until Nasralla took a subtle decision in the past summer.
A vacation in Lebanon, you would enjoy much more than just skiing, trust me on that. Top-notch skiing I am not sure about though
