The snow fell hard in Mount Lebanon as he spent the last 24 hours pacing in his cell, playing solitaire by candlelight and listening to the BBC broadcast stories of his progress on the road to Damascus.

In the last years however, despite being 1850 meters high in altitude, snow has been sparse at Christmas time, and the normally highly enjoyable "off-piste" skiing was disappointing. The best time to go is in February and March when snow is abundant. "Apres-ski" life ranges from English pubs to French nightclubs. Val d'Isere attracts mostly British and French skiers.
