There is a nice ski resort about 1 hour outside of Athens going towards Sparta, Greece. I'll have to get the name of it. I think it's near the Corinth region.

A good friend of mine went to ski in Italy last winter and he absolutely loved it. Another great benefit is the awesome food that you can eat during your holiday.

Thanks for listing all of these. I will likely not make it to many of them, but who knows someday perhaps!
