I recently visited the Hermon and was absolutely blown away, considering all the "that place is a bunny hill" remarks I was told about the place. I'm an expert skier from New Jersey, who pretty much skied everything on the east coast, to the gnarliest chutes and trees in Utah and Colorado, so you can trust me on this review. If you know where to look and don't mind traversing a little, you can find anything from 45 degree chutes and fun little tree shots, to small cliffs, to high speed groomers. Just about all off-piste skiing is inbounds, and will all lead you down to a lift. I could imagine on a powder day this place being amazing, but even on a soft snow day this mountain rocks. The scenery and views from the peak are stunning, and are are something different from other scenic mountains you've probably seen. The only cons are really slow lifts and not as much vertical as you would get at most of the bigger mountains in the states, as well as heavy traffic on the road leading to the mountain if you're travelling after 9:00 (so try and get there before 8:30 am). Other than that, this place is a must if your visiting the holy land, where you can have lots and lots of fun.
