The slopes of Mount Parnassus are composed of two [[skiing|ski]] sections, Kellaria and Fterolakka, which together make up the largest ski center in Greece. A smaller ski center (only two drag lifts) called Gerontovrahos is across a ridge from Kellaria. Parnassus is mined for its abundant supply of bauxite which is converted to [[aluminium oxide]] and then to [[aluminium]].<ref>[http://www.parnassos-ski.gr/index_eng.htm The Parnassos Ski Centre] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060822070652/http://www.parnassos-ski.gr/index_eng.htm |date=2006-08-22 }}</ref>

The construction of the ski resort started in 1975 and was completed in 1976, when the first two drag lifts operated in Fterolaka. In 1981 the construction of a new ski area was completed in Kelaria, while in winter season 1987–1988 the chair lift Hermes started operating and connected the two ski areas. Both ski resorts continued expanding, and in 1993, the first high-speed quad in Greece was installed, named Hercules. In 2014–2015, two new hybrid lifts were installed along with a new eight-seater, replacing the old infrastructure.

Today, the Ski Center operates with 16 lifts, two hybrid ski lifts that combine an eight-seater Cabin and a six-seater chair, an eight-seater Cabin, a 4-seater chair lift, a 2-seater chair lift, six drag lifts, and four baby lifts. The ski center boasts 25 marked ski runs and about 15 ski routes of {{convert|36|km|0|abbr=on}} total length, while the longest run is {{convert|4|km|0|abbr=on}}.
