what do you do the day before/morning before a big day of skiing?

I usually stretch the night before and push out my shins if I have shin bang, and in the morning eat a big breakfast to minimize snack/lunch breaks and maximise ski pass value. Also if im feeling extra saucy on said morning I might do a little dynamic warmup too

No need to overcomplicate things: a few brimmers from the bong and I'm ready to ski any terrain

The night before I make sure my goggles and gloves are dry, then I get baked and do this hour long mellow yoga routine that's mostly stretching and meditation. In the morning I make one or two of my signature Corkage Sandwiches for breakfast (the dankest breakfast sandwich you've ever had).

Drift the fuck out of my 2008 Subaru Outback LL bean edition with the homies in the parking lot, listening to trap music. Maybe swipe a coffee/croissant from the lodge while I get my gear on if I’m feeling it.

You gotta get quality ingredients but it's thick cut bacon cooked in the oven and two fried eggs with the yolk consistency of honey, on an everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. I'll post a pic tmo morning after I make one

I like to follow this up with the "sit in the car at the hill telling yourself you're a shitty skier who should just turn around and go home" pre-game pep talk.

Wake up, shower, put on ski clothes the same way every freakin time... Listen to certain playlists depending on the conditions at the resort, nosepress in lift line to ensure bindings are also ready for the day

My friend swears by having a beer in the parking lot before skiing. The last two times he didn't, he partially tore his acl and got a compression fracture in his tibia

- wake up on the homie's couch
- stop at the sheetz with the cheapest gas for brekky
- get pissed off at slow appalachian octogenarian drivers
- get pissed off at paid parking
- drink beer in the parking lot
- jerry-slalom down the green run straight to the park

I usually don't sleep the night before which sucks. Pack my bags obsessively and watch ski porn.
