I know this is stupid, but it’s something to do.

Also please post where you are a passholder.

Yes - Wachusett

Sometimes I don't eat at all because I usually only go for a couple hours but when I do eat it is always there.

Yes - Mount Snow - but usually at the deli in the Grand Summit Hotel, not in the main base lodge (unless I need a burrito fix )

Nope - Killington. Sometimes we'll buy lunch, but most of the time we bring it. Not only is it cheaper, usually better as well.

I only hold a season pass to WA and generally ski nights. Race nights we end up in the bar and I usually have two beers and split nachos with the group. Occasionally I'll grab dinner.

Loveland, Winter Park, Copper. Never ever ever will I eat the overprice gruel at the mountain. I know some mountains have decent stuff but they run a ridiculously low food cost, far lower than the industry standard. I will starve myself if I forget lunch. Then again I don't eat out very often and when I do it is stuff that's not easily prepared at home(mexican, sushi, chinese, cheap but stuff that I don't keep around the house). I would never order a steak out as it's pretty easy to grill a good steak, same with lobster or pasta.

Most people I've met (passholders) will bring a lunch and even use the various gas grills, ovens, microwaves, located throughout the mountain at LL for skiers to heat or cook their own lunch. I will occasionly buy a beer at the lodge but I usually pack that also.
