A celebration of the skiing lifestyle on and off the slopes, in a gorgeous must-have package—including dazzling stained edges!  Skiing is more than just a sport. It's a lifestyle. A way of life. Après-ski typically refers to the time of day right after skiing, but can extend into the evening and early morning hours. It's cocktails enjoyed at the famed Palace Hotel ice rink bar in St. Moritz, and a game of snow polo in Aspen; a dip in the Manza Onsen (one of Japan’s highest-altitude hot springs) and dancing on tables at La Folie Douce in Val d’Isère, France. Traditions vary by region and even by neighboring resort. No matter where or how you unwind after a day on the mountain, what happens around the actual skiing has helped shape the culture of the sport for decades. This book is a visual celebration of all things après-ski: the best spots to visit around the globe, a survey of the fashion and style of ski, and even food and drink recipes for the quintessential après–ski menu. “Fabulous photos showcase stunning vis­tas, vacationers bellying up to bars made of snow and celeb­rities clad in chic skiwear. Hot chocolate, anyone?”― BookPage Erin Isakov is the cofounder of global ski and outdoor apparel brand Erin Snow, which she began with her husband in 2003.
