Crete Arising (The story of skiing in the southern Mediterranean)

With beautiful beaches and warm seas, the island of Crete ranks as one of the top summer vacation spots in the world. Few people realize however that Crete is full of mountains and that, in winter, it offers incredible downhill skiing. Concerned that the mega-industry of summer tourism has begun to alter the fabric of the island, a group of skiers and mountaineers set about to organize the first ever winter ski mountaineering race on the island.
