Feraya today
When skiing, you’re bound to end up in the chair lift with strangers; in my case, Lebanese men (in general). Boy, you dudes are negative about your own country! Maybe it’s just an attitude, a habit to talk yourself down so the foreigners don’t get the chance to criticize you, but I’m telling you, not much positive stuff I heard while in that chair lift all the way up to Nord , at 2336 meters.

And so I’ll give you the positive stuff;
Price of a ski ticket: 35,000 LBP (about 22 dollars) for half a day.
Price of ski rentals: 10,000 LBP ($ 7.50) if you’re not picky, 25,000 LBP ($17) for new gear.
Number of slopes: 42 (with a little imagination)
Kilometers of ski tracks: 80 kilometers
Distance to the slope (from Beirut): 55 km.
Weather: Gorgeous & sunny

Meanwhile hubbie, who hates skiing, went diving. Name me a country where this is possible. So please, be a little positive now and then, especially to foreigners, because I tell you, this is pretty special.
Hours in traffic to get back? Uhhhh. We'll ignore that one.
I wish I enjoyed Skiing! But having Caribbean roots, and growing up in Miami..I can understand how it escaped me. Skiing and diving in the same country. Yes that is special! As usual, great photos! How do you manage to take your camera with you when you're skiing?

No offence to Lebanon which is a beautiful place.
