The ancient Greeks thought that Olympus was the "home of the gods".

Those who wonder what it’s like to ski with the gods can look towards Heliski Greece, a relativity new company that will offer descents of legendary Mt. Olympus this spring.

The mountain rises 2,919m (9574ft) straight up from the Aegean Sea, and under normal conditions runs will range from 1,000 to 1,500 vertical meters (about 3,000 to 5,000 vertical feet).
