Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Clue: in the photo my dad is holding a woolly hat bearing a Del Monte logo (not that you can tell that from the resolution). He worked for Del Monte at a local canning factory 1.5 hour drive from here. Hopefully that’s not made it too easy now. You could guess the most popular produce canned there? Is this too random?

Oooh, I don't know which though. My knowledge of the ski areas minimal, I've got a wierd thought connection through Polly Peck, Azil Nadir (Turkish Cypriot) and Del Monte, which I don't know if that tallied Very Happy

I'll plump for Cyprus.

@ski3, the ‘perhaps” was mirroring your Greece proposal. It’s in Greece, the main canned produce is peaches - don’t think there are too many ski areas to choose from in Greece and only one that close to the Aegean (there you go, another clue). Bonus point for the film filmed on the nearest island chain...

Pelion

Is is Crete? There is skiing in the Lefka Ori mountains.
Zorba the Greek is set in Crete. There was also a film version of Patrick Leigh Fermor's exploit commanding partisans who captured the German General in Crete during the war and smuggling him out to a submarine. However the island chain suggests Kefalonia (or Cephalonia) and the book and film of Captain Corelli's mandolin.

@dobby, was right, I looked at some photos and it is Pelion. I can see the chain of Islands but can't think of the film.

Polly Peck, Azil Nadir (Turkish Cypriot) -- I remember him ; cost me MONEY !!!

Grinning - kept us guessing...

Now -- there must be a story about how you came to be skiing in Greece? :: Do tell....

@dobby, done it with arrow-like precision.
Pelion, legendary home of the Centaurs and launching site of Jason’s Argo, it is, the winter centre near Xania.
Rarely good conditions but spectacular vistas.
Dad worked for Del Monte’s canned business on the sweltering arid plains of Larissa (well, tucked away in an a/c office) bringing home the peaches. The Pelion was the cooler bolt-hole: 35years on, it’s still a beautiful part of the world even now that EasyJet fly there direct in the summer.
@snowball, yes, Mamma Mia and the Sporades chain although Pierce Brosnan was filmed on the mainland at the cement factory boarding a yacht because of the azure blue waters (caused by the cement sediment).
Polly Peck were licensed to use the Del Monte brand for a fresh fruit business which was separate from the stuff in cans - never skied in Cyprus though.
Lots of weekend trips skiing to Mt Parnassos/Arahova next door to Delphi: walking around the Delphic temple wearing 80s shoulder-padded slalom jumper was all the rage.
I think that is my trivia knowledge of the Pelion and other Greek ski areas properly exhausted now.
Thanks for your patience and over to Dobby!

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to imply that you didn't deserve to go next. It was definitely one of you, but you said you didn't have an image available which is why I suggested @dobby Smile
