The morning bus winds out of Beirut and up into the pale, rocky ribs of the Mount Lebanon range; the air sharpens and the city hum recedes. By the time instructors greet you at the resort — the same slopes local families flock to each winter (Faraya‑Mzaar and nearby resorts are common destinations) — the snow is a bracing, tactile presence under your boots.

History
Skiing in Lebanon dates to the early 20th century; resorts expanded mid‑century as road access improved and winter tourism grew from Beirut.
Conservation
Mountain ecosystems here are sensitive to water use and erosion from trails; stick to marked runs, pack out waste, and favor local operators that support sustainable snow‑management.

Confirm pickup and timing
Traffic into the mountains can add 30–90 minutes; confirm your pickup time and meeting point to maximize slope time.
Dress in layers
Temperatures change quickly on the lift—base layer, insulating midlayer, and waterproof shell keep you comfortable.
Use a helmet and goggles
Helmets reduce risk on crowded beginner slopes; goggles protect from wind and glare off the snow.
Protect skin and hydrate
High-altitude sun and cold dry air both dehydrate and damage skin—sunscreen and regular water are vital.
Ski boots and skis (rental available)
Proper‑fitting boots and correctly sized skis are fundamental for learning technique and staying comfortable.
