Energy bars/snacks

Sounds like some people take it a little too seriously if you ask me.......personally a Mars bar, a Latte, and a bottle of water at around 10.30, after a good breakfast does fine, followed by Spaghetti for lunch with more water and possibly a cheeky beer, and then a late afternoon beer on the way down does the trick. I guess those that actually do take it very seriously need to consider their intake, but I seem to do ok on what I consume!
Its about enjoyment, isnt it...?????

spot on, enjoyment is the key, unless your a Bode or a Benny that is :P For me I find that after stocking up on a wicked Austrian brekkie, I don't think about food again until lunchtime, by which time a beer (or two) along with lunch does me right through. Mind you, if I get really stuck I am carrying 1 or 2 pounds more than I should be so I can always use up some reserves, if you catch my drift :lol:

All very well if you're a holidaymaker doing their couple of weeks each year. If you spend in excess of a 100 days a year in the mountains you'd not last very long without some attention to hydration and nutrition.

Well hello to all those other "holidaymakers doing their couple of weeks each year" out there :thumbup:

Personally, I'd love to have skiing more readily available, and more affordable, but unfortunately we dont have mountains in South Lincolnshire, and nor do we have sub zero temperatures either. And there is a distinct lack of chair lifts around here to be honest.

So sorry if I am just a humble holiday maker who enjoys a once/twice yearly ski fix..... :(

Whats your point, ISE?

Im with you Tony_H a little of what YOU like is whats needed I wouldn't worry to much about the advice given by our "experts"? after all were not olympic athletes are we, some just like to think they are

You go for what suits you and enjoy your time on the slopes and dont get to hung up if you havn't hydrated that day I'm sure you can catch up another time. :D

I suspect the majority of people viewing this site are in fact avid slope lovers, who choose to pay to go on skiing holidays, but don't have the finances or a job which allows them to be on the slopes in excess of 100 days a year. Good work if you can get it. I think moderation is the key, if you're over the legal limit to drive a car, the chances are you'll be a danger on the slopes. Personally I've always really enjoyed the usual Heise chocolat mit rum at lunch and maybe a beer mid PM. This is usually dependant on what and how far I'm skiing. If you're gonna tackle the 7 klick run at Saalbach/Hint, it's not a good idea to drink alcohol. If you're sliding the 200 metres from Goatstall, it's a great idea. Does anyone find that their Skiing is more relaxed after a drink at lunchtime?
