"The ski season officially kicked off in the town of Kfardebian in Mount Lebanon, with tourists flocking to the venue after one of the most active and snow-heavy weeks of the winter to enjoy the resort. Footage filmed on Sunday shows visitors and tourists skiing across the slopes, taking ski lifts and enjoying the family time. "The season is promising and is expected, God willing, to last until March. Tourists are here, we are full of positive energy, and God willing, it will be one of the best seasons we haven’t seen in a long time," said a visitor, Mario Akiki. The recent storm delivered around half a metre of snow, with temperatures fluctuating between -1°C and -6°C at higher elevations. "What's beautiful about Lebanon is that we have tourist seasons all year round, but for me, winter is the most beautiful season. Every year I wait for the snow to come here," added another visitor, Hala Fghali. Kfardebian is known as a major tourist destination, featuring a ski resort as well as historical landmarks such as the Faqra Fortress and the Natural Bridge. The resort has recently inaugurated a cross-country skiing trail and upgraded the lift technology to help manage the weekend influx. "
