Hit the slopes at this surprising ski resort
This Mediterranean mountain is a destination for skiers, sledders and snow lovers.


When you think of the Mediterranean, you probably picture warm beaches and palm trees, and this tourist-friendly region certainly has its share of all that. But you might be surprised to discover that you can actually learn to ski on beginner routes and soar down advanced ones at the Mount Hermon resort in northern Israel. The resort draws thousands of visitors a year. Not a bad way to celebrate the season!
