Just wondering to all the other people that ski multiple days a week every week how do you eat with out going broke?
What I do:
-buy Cop o Noodle in bulk
-fill up a water bottle
-throw in an apple/orange or what ever we have
-Cliff bar or nature valley bar
and call that lunch, but im getting tired of it. what do you do to eat for cheap?

i usually spear a moose of the lift, ski down to the body, chop a tree down and cook it there. it fills me and a friend up pretty well.

i go to the fountain drink machine, and fill the large cup to the top with ice then fill that with sprite let the bubbles settle, then walk out and usualy they dont ask 'cause there busy but if they do u show them and it looks like water b/c the ice is above the sprite. works every time.

when my mountain had saltlines, you could take a whole bunch of those and make mini PBnJs with the little packets of jam and peanut butter they had.

1 person buys a meal. then gives the receipt to you/ a friend and u go get the same thing, show the cashier the receipt and walk out. Repeat any # of times within 15 min and u are good. Then the next time u go skiing some1 else buys the 1st meal so u dont spend a shitload on food.

I don't eat cheap. I'm a rich classy motherfucker and I buy only the most elegant and delicious pasta's my mountain has to offer.
