Sunburnt and Sore: Skiing Faraya Mzaar
... environment. It was blissful. On the other hand, it also made me a little nervous. Considering my brother just broke his tibia snowboarding in Colorado, I couldn't help but think, "who is going to find me when I break my leg?" or "Are there mountain lions around here?"and even "I have no idea where I'm going and the trails are not well marked, so what happens when I get lost?"

This is a top pick!
... they were cleared and reopened to the public in 1995.
We met up with Rima, Ghassan’s sister along with two of her kids, Serena and Karim. She was one beautiful and classy woman and she made us feel instantly welcomed.
