My ex girlfriend went skiing there a couple of times, reckoned there was epic pow but it's not very steep apparently... It's a little dodgy in terms of avalanche risks as well, but im not too sure to be fair, probably depends on the time of season. I'm going to have a google!

ya ppl ski in lebanon for sure, i think they actually had a skier at the whistler olympics but im not 100% sure. not sure how the parks look over there or if they have any at all but there are mountains. I have a bunch of lebanese friends but none of them ski so thats all i can tell you

Security risks as well pose a problem, this is a review of a resort on http://www.skileb.com

"Zaarour is also very well known for the excellent opportunity for cross-country skiing over a distance of more that 4 km on the Sannine mountain. As a private resort, it is well controlled with excellent security measures taken to avoid incidents."

"Incidents"..... Lulz

There was a big segment in SKIMATIC where they went to go skiing in Lebanon. Real awesome segment.
