So what are your little quirks before getting on the hill?

two red bulls?
lots of coffee?
wearing flip-flops to the hill regardless of the weather?
driving with goggles on?
boots under the floor vents?
wake 'n bake?

I usually eat pretty healthy big breakfast, because i don't like going in at lunch for longer than to go the washroom... listen to music on the way up... and if i think i'm going to be skiing harder than usual (hiking alot and no doing park) i do a little warmup and stretching in the parking lot, even though i look like a fool... then we go harrass the liftees.
