KFARDEBIAN, Lebanon (Reuters) - It is a sunny day on Lebanon's ski slopes after weeks of snowfall but, as the economic crisis bites, there is no sign of the traffic that would typically jam the road.

"It is still slow, but the weather is great and the snow as well, so we invite everyone to come," said Nicole Wakim Freiha, marketing and development manager of Mzaar ski resort, which has slashed prices by 30% in a bid to entice skiers.
