Erciyes Dağı

It’s a massive volcano in central Turkey. Strabo reported that from its summit, you could see both the Mediterranean and Black Seas. It’s a spectacular place to ski.

Admittedly, when I was there I was attached to the ski team of a school in Istanbul where I worked.  I spent much of my time skiing down the edges of competition slopes with armloads of jackets.

Still, I got away for a good ski sometimes. And just look at the place.
