montoya 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 hey what do ya'll pack for snacks/lunch while on the mountain (or water, etc)? I started out with power-bars, then realized it doesn't work too well in the cold. Then I moved on to calorie-mates, onigiri, and now use dried-fruit alot. Some friends are always making ramen, looks good but you need a heavy stove for that.. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I worked for Powerbar for about 7 years montoya Wish we could get the gels and Harvestbars here in Japan. Basically same as you. Got a SOS avie kit and its got a H2O bladder in it so keep well hydrated...except when it freezes on me. Enjoy granola bars, onigiri, snickers. Toque only keeps a bottle of Canadian Maple Syrup in his bag and puts it on snow Link to post Share on other sites

cheeseman 1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I am keen on cheese snacks - from cheesy snacks to even taking lumps of cheese. Of course if resorts too more effort to cater for cheesefans, not only would it be good for their business and turn the industry around but it would mean we wouldn't need to stock up on cheese snacks before leaving home.

js 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 On ski trips, ALWAYS start the day with a BIG breakfast. Carry a three litre hydration bladder and a mix of lollies and chocolate bars to snack on throughout the day. (Prefer not to stop for lunch these days - just continually snack and drink water.) If it gets REALLY cold (like less than -18C) will grudgingly go in for a coffee/miso. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Big Brekkie definitely, pockets full of snacks. Link to post Share on other sites
minus 1 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I go better with a lighter breakfast - big one weights me down. I take nibbles often while I'm out there. Link to post Share on other sites
ROM 0 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hot amazake in a thermos!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds good. I have a number of snacks in my pockets. Snickers are a favorite. Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 A trip to a 7-11 is always a good idea before a trip. They don't have much in the way of cheeses of course, cheeseman. Perhaps you should write them. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 When I'm in the BC though if I'm starting the day from the tent it is usually with a Bagel and if cold then some hot soup. Lunch is Bagel, snickers, M&Ms and maybe a big greesy Egg Sando with ham and cheese Dinner is either Spagetti or Rice with Tuna and Vedgies And I always try to drink at least 3 litres of water if it's hot out.

Plucky 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Bananas are NOT good to take with you! My backpack still smells from my Whistler trip. At least rotten banana doesn't smell that bad. When I was younger, I wouldn't eat anything and just ski all day. I enjoy going in for lunch now. I absolutely LOVED getting miso ramen for lunch in Japan. Best damn ski lunch in the world if you ask me Oh yeah, I've always carried copious amounts of water with me. I almost always wear a backpack (mostly for vid and camera equipment).

sanjo 2 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 That sounds grim. This last season I enjoyed a pizza-man or cheese/lasagne man. Too small though, need 2. Then snacks when I'm out there. Link to post Share on other sites
window-cleaner 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I got with a big breakfast every time as well. Which reminds me, the snow is on it's way Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I know this guy who goes up there with a bento his wife makes for him. Come 12 noon, he finds a snowseat, sits down and opens up his little plastic bento box with the carefully prepared contents and munches away. I always laugh at him. (And then I realise I wouldn't mind having what he's having.) Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If I'm going somewhere and staying over I want an early breakfast but a good one. I really don't like it when a place is kechi with breakfast. This year I actually had lunches more than I didn't and generally they were pretty good actually. The eating is part of the holiday for me. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I usually have a pig breakfast and carry with me on the slopes lots of chocolate. I hate eating lunch, because it makes me feel heavy and sleepy. I can’t believe all these people that have kare rice for lunch. Link to post Share on other sites

viv&kev 0 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 We must be a bit older than you guys, can't go on all day without a rest and if it's really cold like to be inside. An hour or so with some food is a good break. Link to post Share on other sites
