A look back at what was undoubtedly my most random – yet one of the most enjoyable – winter seasons, this time spent in Turkey’s premier ski area, Palandöken/Ejder 3200. This is my Season recap from Palandöken/Ejder 3200.
I met some really great people on this trip – folk who remain good friends to this day. This video covers the best parts of the season plus catchups after leaving Palandöken on my way to Bansko in Bulgaria.
While the riding in Palandöken is undoubtedly smaller-scale, I still reckon this area offers the best-value skiing and snowboarding on the planet. Check the ‘where is the world’s best value ski area‘ article for more information or more bite-sized chunks on the links below

Make sure you choose an insurance company that covers Turkey
It’s worth remembering that Turkey isn’t strictly speaking part of Europe – and Erzurum is considerably further east – so you’ll need to choose an insurer with protection outside the continent. TrueTraveller ski insurance offers some of the best value, most comprehensive ski and snowboard cover that even includes park riding and off-piste (check the exact details at time of booking). Go with the best – go with TrueTraveller.
