Do you eat lunch on a powder day?

If I am skiing somewhere with reasonably fast lifts and short lift lines, I usually ski for about 4 hours straight, non-stop and no breaks (around 15 runs). By that time I am usually spent, ready for a few beers, and done for the day. The fact that I don't ski bell to bell may not be seen as "core" by many people, but I am just being honest.

Most of my midweek powder days, I ski the first 2 1/2 hours and then go work the rest of the day. With high speed lifts, it's not like I'm skimping on runs.
