Après Ski The Scene, the Style, the Menu

Product Description

The last run of the day is only the beginning. Après Ski: The Scene, the Style, the Menu explores the rituals, places, food, and unmistakable style that have grown up around life in the mountains.

From cocktails beside the ice rink at St. Moritz’s Palace Hotel and snow polo in Aspen to steaming Japanese onsens and the famously spirited tables of La Folie Douce in Val d’Isère, après-ski has its own character wherever snow falls. Richly photographed pages travel through legendary ski destinations around the world, tracing decades of alpine culture and the fashion that has accompanied it.

Recipes for warming mountain fare and classic après drinks bring the experience home, while stories of storied resorts reveal how each has developed traditions all its own.

Finished with vivid stained page edges, this handsome volume belongs as naturally on a chalet coffee table as it does beside the fire after a day on the slopes.
