You only have one life - Do you really want to live it behind a desk for 8 hours and then commute home? Would you rather ski up to 300 days a year? Plus play golf, mountain bike or sunbathe the other 65 days!

Live the life, do not let life live you!

Asia's Biggest Ski Resort is coming! 

 CHANGCHUN - Asia's largest ski resort is expected to open by the end of the year on Changbai Mountain in Northeast China's Jilin province, according to local authorities.

 Covering an area of seven square kilometers, the resort has 43 ski runs totalling 30 kilometers and can accommodate 8,000 skiers at a time, said Chen Weigen, vice-governor of Jilin. 

 The resort is part of the Changbai Mountain international holiday resort. The first phase of the project, which includes five-star hotels, a resort town and a cultural center, started operating in late July after three years of construction. Six Chinese private companies have invested 20 billion yuan ($3.16 billion) in the project.

Food you must try when skiing!!

There are some foods that you absolutly have to try when your away skiing! not only because they are really nice but also because they will warm you up.

I am the most fussy eater in the world and really struggle with alot of textures of food rather than the taste, so to most these might not seem like the best food that you can eat when on the slopes but to me they are and if its your first time in a country then you have to atleast try them..

Last week I was in Austria Skiing with my family and I struggle alot there with food because I dont really eat pork but my winter warmer and midday love was definately
Goulash soup! If You want to try and make it yourself if only takes 15minutes to prepare and about an hour to cook. It has a sweet yet spicy flavour and is a beautiful blend of beef tomato and paprika. Give it a google and have a go!

When I was younger we always skied in France and I think I scared my parents with the amount of Tartiflette I ate out there, I would happily have eaten it for breakfast lunch and dinner if I had been aloud. I don't 0ften like cheese but this is deninatelly my exception to the rule! It is a rich warm filling dish of cheese, creamy potatoes and baco the is ideal to share with friend and really easy to make.

Now this is not my favourites but it definately goes down extremely well with my family and there is never any left even my 4 year old sister is happy to fill herself silly with a cheese fondue! Whenever we ski across the boarder from france to switzerland this is what all my family order. Made from a mixture of cheeses and white wine served with crusty bread to dip in and eat till you think your going to pop!

Although I don't like cheese fondue I am a total sucker for a chocolate fondue. How can anyone turn down a mixture of melted chocolates and loads of fruit to dip into it, although marshmellows are an amazing alternative but can become very sickly much faster.

I hope you enjoy these and give them a try especially when your out in resort! Happy Skiing!
