Following years of drought, snow storms battered Mt. Hermon this year dropping meters of white stuff to the delight of Israeli skiers and visiting children.
The heavy snowfall this year resulted in an avalanche two weeks ago, the first such incident that the resort has witnessed.
The Mt. Hermon Ski School reports that there is still plenty of snow remaining for both the avid Passover skier and the many non skiing visitors who cherish a sleigh ride, a friendly snow ball fight or just a relaxing glass of wine overlooking the green Golan Heights.
