Making
tracks in the snowy Med
Many don't put '' Greece'' and ''ski''
together in the same sentence, but cold weather aficionados have known for
years (since 1928 in fact) that alpine wonderlands around the south
Mediterranean's mountainous regions are nothing to be sniffed at.
When the cold sets in from December
to April and even later up north, ski and snowboard fans alike will be up at
the crack of dawn making their way to one of 20- odd Grecian hills that are
cheaper than their north European counterparts, in large part because the
vast majority are run by municipalities and local alpine clubs.
The latter have helped care for the
nation's winter heavens more than 70 ears under the Hellenic Ski Federation
umbrella.
