ARISTIDE Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Never go to Kashmir for snow! Ever! Crooked tour guide, horrible people and polluted town and mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard4849 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Korea India Lebanon Not sure of the distances of each Lebanon? A candidate for "nearest" snow? And Thai people don't know their geography? Just a bit of out of the box thinking. You can go snow skiing and water skiing on the same day. No need to be in a frozen climate when you can enjoy the best of both worlds. I've been in Lebanon during the winter, and it definitely wasn't snow skiing weather...

Depends where you are in the country, up in the Shouf Mountains there's ski resorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard4849 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So is the Med warm enough for swimming during the ski season? It was frigid the winter I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fookhaht Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) You folks are clearly vacant and deviant of Asian geography and climate paterns. From Siam, the closest seasonable snow will be Bhutan, or a close second, SW Yunnan Province in China. You are likewise vacant and deviant of Asian geography/climate. Sorry. As mentioned earlier, the nearest snow is right at Thailand's western doorstep: northwestern Burma, which represents the far southeastern end of the Himalayan range. Snow-capped mountain peaks are there for your taking, with snow 365 days a year. There is a ski resort (yes, a ski resort in Burma!) called Hkakabo Razi. Check out description and pictures of the peaks and resort here. Mount Hkakabo Razi as seen from lowland jungles. The summit is at 19,294 feet (5,881 metres). Another, closer view of Hkakabo Razi, northern Burma. Map of NE Burma where the eternal snow lies: Edited October 13, 2011 by Fookhaht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitbe Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Korea is probably the closest reliable snow, its reliable as the ski resorts there manufacture their own snow. Run a search for Muju resort.... more expensive than japan or europe we went there 6 years ago wife me 2 kids for skiing snow was fabulous but it would have been far cheaper to go to Canada or europe or even Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
