Most of my readers would know by now that skiing is one of my favorite sports. Although my family took a long break from it after my mother’s back pain problems, I came back to it stronger and more motivated than ever. I put on my first skis when I was around 6 years old in Uludag, Turkey and have been to numerous resorts around Europe and the U.S. since then. On top of the contentment I get from skiing, I am a big supporter of the social package it comes with. Being able to ski all day and make your way down to a restaurant with great food, friends and music is one of the best activities I have ever been a part of. With the sun on top of you to keep you warm, the crisp mountain air to keep you fresh and the snow below to keep you cool you dive into amazing food and wash it down with a nice bottle of wine. You have been exercising all day and you have all the reason to mingle with the big calories. I dedicate Après-ski to those moments of great contentment and excitement.
