Title HERMON SLOPES OPEN FOR SKI SEASON.
Scope and content Usually by this time of the year the Mount Hermon ski slopes would have been open since December last year. However, like many ski resorts in Europe, the type and quantity of snow needed to enable the ski slopes to open was very late in coming. In fact only last week did the first skiers of the season.come to the Hermon. The north of Israel has had below average rainfall this winter which has meant that the Kinneret is still 3 meters below the level it should be for this time of the year. The past week has seen a general improvement in the north, when several stormy days brought heavy rain and snow to the region. The national water authority, Merkorot, had been issuing warnings that there will be a shortage of water for agriculture if there is not a dramatic improvement in the water reserves. Heavy snow on the Hermon is a welcome for the skiers and the water authority because nearly all the snow which is on the Hermon at the moment will, by the summer, find itself in the Kinneret Lake making up the important shortfall of fresh water. The Hermon facility has four ski runs of varying difficulty. The total distance of all the runs together is twelve kilometers. Photo shows: The picture shows twi immigrants from Russia enjoying a day out on the ski slopes of the Mount Hermon.
