I'm considering ways to save money on my ski days. What to bring and ways to carry it. I've often had lunch at the bar but I'm moving away from that.

I'd like to hear how people go about this. Need some good ideas. I enjoy having a beer or two for a break but I think liquor laws are a bit of an issue in lodges. I'm not one to change or have lunch/drinks at the car. Too cold.

I sometimes throw hot thermos in my pack. You can find fairly skinny models which don't take up too much room.

I'll microwave soup, lasagna, enchiladas, etc. Stays pretty much hot all day.

The night before a big ski day I boil 4 eggs. The next morning, I eat all 4 eggs and wash it down with V8. That will usually last until 2:00. I may pop into the lodge a few times during the day to hit the water fountain.
Depending on conditions and how I'm feeling, I'll take a 20 minute break at 2. Grab a beer and a chili and head back out for the last 1.5 hours of the day.

If I'm lucky enough to run across a hare in the trees, I fry it up on my carburetor between runs.

Scotch and a snickers bar. No one has ever bothered me about the flask. Especially with a Sox logo on it.

Edd is that you?

At the home bump we usually bring lunch. They have been nice enough to set up an area in the lodge for the ski team and parents to have lunch. Try to avoid the cafeteria due to unhealthy choices and prices. On the road we sometimes eat in the lodge or in the spring when things are nice head out to the car and tailgate. Gotta weakness for the bar though and usually stop by for at least 1 (or more) wherever we are. (après ski).

I hear you! Couple times lunch and après ski!

That sounds a bit crazy but I could do that. It's easy and you don't have to bring crap.

If I drinking I just bring whisky in empty soda bottle. I wish the food in the east coast lodge was as good as the food I had in Utah mountains.
