I finally got around to putting together this video I shot last week when I was in Lebanon. I rented a snowmobile up in Mzaar (Faraya) near the ski slopes from a company called Highland Club. It costs $100 for an hour but they have better deals on longer journeys. For example they can take you from Faraya to the Cedars and back for around $400. That’s a 3 hour trip each way and comes to around $65 an hour.
If you’re ever in Lebanon and are interested in taking out a snowmobile you can call them on +9613860867 for reservation and directions or just go up to Mzaar near the slopes and ask for snowmobile rental places. [Vimeo]

Dear Mark,
Can you please post an entry about the way Kuwait Customs use their knife to inspect cartons? This is the second time, I ordered something only to see that my new garment was cut when trying to cut open the tape of the carton.
Neither the courier company not the seller now will take responsibility.
Regards,

snow mobile on ice cream.
Feeling homesick for Canada and snow 🙁
Really lovely video and scenery!
May sound silly but do you know if there is any official place for sledding downhill(tobagaanning) or carriage rides in the snow available?
Happy New Year!
nope don’t :s
Amazing. Great place to do this. Nice video, Mark.
Awesome. Added it to the bucket list.
lets do the faraya – cedars trip together!
Awesome stuff! Have to try this sometime.
let me do the editing next time, the place looks amazing!
The video looked pretty good even with the conversion. Any chance have you shot any night time videos with the contour+?
Nighttime footage isn’t that great, I mean in a small 400pixel wide video it looks fine but at actual size it’s pretty noisy. Will try to put up a video when I review the camera.
Mark,
Would there be snow in feb?
there should be. you could check skileb.com
February is the best time to find snow in Faraya.
Since you mentioned the Cedars-Faraya trip, I’ve been thinking about it. Probably gonna do it soon.
