Gold and Gucci for Eileen Gu👑

For this ski-themed issue, let’s direct our attention to an already established icon of the fashion and ski worlds: Eileen Gu. Gu made history at the 2022 Winter Olympics when she became the youngest freestyle skiing champion at only eighteen years old.

The young athlete is also heavily involved in fashion as both a lay admirer and model. Gu is signed to IMG Models, the same agency that represents fashion industry superstars like Alex Consani and Bella Hadid. Gu’s own modeling resume includes world-famous brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Victoria’s Secret.

Interviews paint her as a blossoming icon for young women who love both fashion and sports. In the past, she’s stated that both fuel her creativity and confidence. 

If you check her Instagram, you’ll find a whole host of elegant, sporty looks that will serve as great inspiration for your own après-ski fits. Ski forth and dress well, everyone!

I am well and truly cold now that the air of January in my hometown has found its way into my bones. I love it in a way, the same way you love things you can’t imagine being without—desperately, foolishly, unendingly. Consider this a love letter to the chill of mid-winter. ☃️i☕

1. Beautiful World, Where Are You I’m not totally sure why, but I’ve always read this novel in winter even though it isn’t expressly set then. There’s just something about it, something about its reckless and heartfelt admission that “we are so stupid about each other,” that makes it perfect for this time of year. 

2. “Oranges”Oh, how I love this poem, how it has sunk its teeth into me. To hold an orange, as though I were “making a fire in my hands.”

3. I Who Have Never Known Men This book was everywhere for a while, and for good reason. When “my memory begins with my anger,” it is all I can do to keep out the cold.

HAPPY SKI WEEK!!!⛷️⛷️ There’s nothing like a hearty and overpriced lunch in the ski lodge to protect you from the bitter Californian winter (Obviously I’m joking here. It was 65 degrees today). In memory of ski trips past and as a toast to ski trips future, let’s talk about chili!

To me, chili is strictly(ish) a winter-only food. Maybe it’s because I only had chili during lunch breaks between ski runs as a kid. These days, chili is more commonplace in my Cornellian life because it’s served at both Bear Necessities and Trillium.

Let’s also remember that chili isn’t just served at ski lodges arbitrarily. In my humble opinion, it’s the absolute best food for refueling between morning and afternoon ski sessions. It’s not only hot and soupy (good for the soul), but also packed with protein due to the meat and beans it contains (good for the body). 

It’s also pretty simple in terms of flavor profile while still being flavorful and satisfying. No food is better at making you feel like you’re a weathered log cabin dweller sitting by a blazing, hand-built fire.

Skiing is arguably the best part of the snowy season. That, and the hot cocoa. And the faux fur. And the cute boots. Okay, so there are a lot of things to love when the outdoors turn into a winter wonderland, but what do you wear when you’re shredding the gnar? Zara has you covered. Here are my favorite snow suits that are apres approved.❄️

Close (2022), Lukas Dhont🌷

If you’re more of a frolicking through the field than a skiing the slopes kind of person, this is the film for you. I had high expectations of it on account of a friend’s recommendation. Thankfully, it gracefully lived up to my expectations. 

The long moments of silence interspersed in the dialogue drive the story forward. These pauses foreshadow the plot’s major tragedy, which happens so early I was left wondering what would keep the story engaging.

Though the dynamic between Leo and Rémi was most vulnerably exposed in the first third of the movie, the exploration of Leo’s character in the rest of the film will keep you glued to your seat. 

The lighting in this film is also a real pleasure to take in. At times it feels like you’re right alongside the main characters, basking in the sunlight with them. In such dark and wintry months as these, what else could you want from a movie?
