Sick and tired of eating Top Ramen & Cup a' Noodles at the mountain. And already spent all my money to just go skiing, so I don't have any to spend on the ridiculously priced mountain food.

So NS lets see what you've got. Cheap, delicious, and preferably warm food you take to eat at the hill!

if you ski with a group of people:

portable grill
+
propane
+
hamburger/hotdogs
+
buns
+
various condiments
+
chips
+
drinks

=

not that much money if you split it

Mount snow has these massive chicken and everything else burritos for like 5 bucks. I don't even think I finished mine.


Other than that I drive to somewhere to eat generally like gas stations or fast food

good idea, but will only work with certain things, i doubt a burger would be to appetizing after being shoved into a drink cup. on the other hand, chicken strips would be perfect

Breckenridge has a food place at the bottom of one of the super chair's i think peak 9's chair i don't remember lift names. But they have bowls and burger toppings and you greab a shit load of lettuce and tomatoes and onion and put it into one of the bowls. Go to the salad bar ask for a side of ranch. Put it over the lettuce in the bowl get a plastic fork and knife cut that shit up. You have a perfectly free salad on the mountain. Seriously i do that everytime i go.

Damn straight. And small muffins. You can fit 5 in a sandwich container and stave off the hunger.

Well if you have big pockets you don't even notice them. I take one with me every day skiing. Plus they're like 70 cents at Walmart.

Lol yeah. 9 dollar hamburgers, 4 dollar fountain drinks?


Fuck them. Their gouging the prices because people are too lazy to go somewhere else, there isn't anywhere else, people come a couple times a year and don't care how much loot they drop.


Buying food everyday at your resort would cost more than your season pass. That's stupid.

I wouldnt call it price gouging... yes the prices are high, but think of the resources it takes to get the food, prep, etc to the Mountain at most resorts. Same reason gas is a premium in the middle of nowhere .

Yeah. You need to have 4 dollar fountain drinks because it's so fucking hard for the sysco truck to drive up to your mountain and unload food like it does to every other place on it's trip. They aren't hiking it across mountain passes with backpacks to get it to you.


It's sort of like theme parks charging a dumb amount for food. Once you're there you're probably there for the day and won't go through the hassle of going to your car and then driving to try to find somewhere to eat. Plus you're already paying a dumb amount of money to be there, so you'll just add the food onto the total and forget about it.


Paying for food at the mountain everyday would be insane.

acquire food on tray, get as much as you want. proceed to walk out of the area in which you get food. if questioned, say you forgot a pack of ranch and walked back in. (always get a pack of ranch in case this happens lol) sit down. eat free food.

Not when everything is over priced. It adds up to a lot of money. Plus, they make enough money off tourists and other suckers.

But when I happen to have $15ish on me. I'll sometimes buy a poutine that weighs 1.5 pounds. Cost $12. Fries, cheese, gravy, fries cheese, gravy, fries cheese, gravy, and more fries with more cheese and more gravy.

Good idea. I usually just grab a few nature valley bars, maybe some skittles, and throw them in my pockets. If I have money (rarely) I might buy something.

At Snowbird we just grab tons of the square saltines, spread on ketchup, sprinkle on shredded cheese, and bam, you got yourself a bunch of cold mini pizzas
