"Conditions in Greece's ski resorts are difficult," a spokesperson of the Greek Ski Resorts Iraklis Lefoussis said on Tuesday in an interview with radio station "Praktoreio 104.9 FM". Lefoussis added that not a single ski resort will open for Christmas, something that translates into significant annual turnover losses.

The ski season opened for the fans of winter sports on the slopes of Pisoderi (Florina) and Vasilitsa (Grevena), northwestern Greece after the snow that fell over the last days in the area.

Snow at Northern Greece's ski resorts remains at marginal levels, but the ski resorts of Vassilitsa, 3-5 Pigadia and Pisoderi have enough snow to be open.
