Nearly six inches of snow (5.9 inches) dropped this weekend on to the top-most peaks of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, enabling the country’s popular ski resort to open its slopes on Sunday to the public.
Cable car and other facilities will be open as well, depending upon the weather at the time – strong winds are in the forecast, and more snow is predicted for Monday.
