The question is, what is the best all-round drink that you can ski with? Im talking like:

having it on you when you shred, and it not get in your way

tastes good

doesnt brake the bank



As there are similar threads, there are none that actually talk about the ups and downs of certain drinks and their practicality on the mountain.

Everclear... all day every day.

On the real, water is the only thing I drink on the hill, cheap (or free if drinking fountains are accessible- the fountain of youth at SP if you know about it), always good, super refreshing after a hike or doing park laps. Never can go wrong with water.

I can vouch for its popularity based simply on the amount of cans on the ground around the lift

This. Why?
Because America.
Because it gets you drunk
Because it tastes like water (especially in Utah) so you can slam it back if the chairlift ends

PBR is the official beer of skiing bitch. Drink it and nothing else. Also do the chairlift challenge with it. The chairlift challenge is where you pick a chairlift, count the number of poles between the base and top. Then you bring that many beers and you and your buddies try to pound a beer between every single lift pole. Its fucking great. Makes slow chair rides much more interesting.

I sure like to keep a flask of genepi (strong flower liquor from the alps) on me on cold days, but unless its slushy park sessions (in which case yes to beer) water is pretty good.

My routine:

1. 32oz Gatorade on the way to the mountain
2. Flask of whiskey while on the mountain
3. 32oz Gatorade on the way home from the mountain

Works like a charm

Actually your statement is completely false. PBR is 100% owned by a Russian company now. There is nothing American about PBR anymore except for the recipe that it follows. They got bought out earlier this year.

I was never a huge PBR fan but drank it on occasion. Wasn't a terrible beer for the price and for what it was. But for that reason now..I wont drink a PBR beer ever again. I don't support Russian business they do a lot of sly shit.
