Have no clue about skiing in Iraq but know of a UK travel company called Untamed Borders (http://www.untamedborders.com/) offers ski holidays to Afghanistan. If skiing Afghanistan is possible why not Iraq?

Here is a link about skiing in Afghanistan http://beyondlimitsmagazine.com/skiing- ... -apres-tea

I heard there was people around Erbil who know where the best skiing places are. Ask at one of the bigger hotels.
Failing that, Iran has a few good places. Lebanon too.
I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.
