Fattwins 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 depends on the day. 50% yes 50% no. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 on a regular day I chill for a while and have a kitkat. but on a primo powder day I dont. I ride with a camelbak (drinks bladder in a backpack with a tube that rests on my shoulder) so I never have to stop for a drink and carry peanuts, calorie mate, snickers and eat them on the lift or in the gondola. The thing with a camelbak is you would surprised how much fluid you actually can drink in a day on the snow. 2litres is nothing to drink when you are slowly slipping all the time. I think its a point many people skip over skiing/riding in the mountains, Dehydration. If you are going hard its easy to get dehydrated without realising it. Also you would be surprised how many people suddenly become your best buddy on the chair while you are sipping away, and they suddenly get really thirsty Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I like the sound of the camelback. Almost a good as cameltoe. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 i always have lunch and also a little drink break in the AM and PM. It just helps recharge the legs and breaks up the day nicely for me. Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Sometimes yes, sometimes no but definately need to stop for fluids, snickers and onigiri. Sometimes I find that if its an epic day its better for me to stop for half an hour or so and rehydrate and fuel up so I can enjoy the afternoon better without getting too tired and sucking on the slopes. cameltoe? - db you are gross Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I find that if I don't, my girlfriend gets real pissed at me.. so yeah, put me in the yes column. But if it's a real powder day, then I'll push it and 'suggest' we eat a bit faster. But on the other hand, if it's a real crappy day and there's just crud out there, it's not uncommon for me get a beer and kick back for a while. -montoya. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I must take in a re-fuel pit stop. Vital. But as for an established lunch break... no way. If I see food and there is no crowd, I eat. Link to post Share on other sites

danz 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 like everyone says, if its an epic day I won't go in...always carry a few snickers in my pockets to munch on the lifts... usually carry a small sandwich/nigiri as well for a quick pitstop...if conditions suck, then I will relax a bit more for lunch... danz Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 If I know the snow will last the day then I will take a break. I usually hang out till everyone else comes back from lunch abd ski school starts again, then take a break, but if the snow is gettign chopped I call it quits for the day then.

snowboard_freak 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Most of the time i do stop for lunch - but thats here in Oz where the snow is not great. On the odd day when it has been epic, i haven't stopped for lunch. Might be the same in Japan!! Camel toes - sam and i were talking about camel toes the other day with a work mate. Ah funny stuff. I didn't realise that the camel toe phenomenom (spelling??) was known through out the globe!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 In general I don`t. I usually eat "lunch" after I`m done for the day. But if my tix includes a meal coupon and that coupon says the damn cafeteria closes at 2pm then I`ll break for a meal. Link to post Share on other sites

barok 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 seemingly like everyone else here, i take a break solely based on conditions, i generally try to hold out, only because I won`t pay the 980 that they charge mid-mountain, and I hate going all the way down to the bottom of 47 unless it is mandatory. So I usually end up riding from 9-2 with no lunch break. The cattle-herd lunch break is ridiculous, but what do I care, shorter lift lines for me, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

LucyLiu'd 0 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 If the weather's good, take my own things to eat. Cheaper, quicker, and more fun sitting out on the snow. If it's blizzarding, then it's a different matter... Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 It depends on the weather, the day, the company, the snow. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 i can normally wait until the lifts close to eat. i might have a choc bar or dry cereal to keep me going. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 If I am putting in a day longer than 5 hours or so I will usually take a quick lunch break. I never break for 15-20mins max or else I really feel slow when I go back out. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I take in a power brekkie from mama-san at the ryokan (if I'm lucky) then try to last out till the lifts close for maximum snow time. Depends on the crew though Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 The camelback would be good if you could hook it up to a colostomy bag and filtering system. Then you could have a closed-circuit bottomless drinks system. I like to stop for lunch at 1 pm, but I've started putting strange things from 7-11 in my pockets instead of eating in the smoke chambers. Onigiri don't tend to fair very well in severe wipeouts, although I found that chikua is quite impact resistant. It fills you up nicely too. Snickers are good too, but they can get pretty solid so you lose half the chocolate coating when it falls into your lap. Link to post Share on other sites
