Visitor Reviews of Mzaar Kfardebian

Gilou Tabet from LEBANON writes:

I have been skiing in Faraya for 14 years. At the beginning Faraya was improving every season, especially with the opening of the Warde area.
We were very proud and excited about Faraya.
For the last 5 years, the ski resort is falling down, the good slopes are never groomed ( Nabil, Piste Rouge), the lift "Rouge" opened for the first time this year one day on February 14th.
I think the managers should be ashamed, instead they are very proud. Everything is mediocre, the lifts are so old that everytime there is strong wind, the slopes have to remain closed.
I don't think that they have spent a dollar on improving the ski station for at least 5 years at Faraya, if not more. They should close. I will never recommend anybody to come and ski here.
It could be such a nice place, it is a nightmare.
We should all go on strike, not buy tickets anymore and complain. This cannot continue.
