When I ski, I like to stock my pockets with energizing snacks to keep me going throughout the day. Since I live in Florida, I want to take advantage of every moment I have on the slopes, and stop for a meal only when absolutely necessary.
Eating a strong breakfast that includes fruit, protein and carbohydrates usually fill up even the most active skier. I like to eat nuts while riding the ski lift to the top of the mountain both before and after lunch. This gives me a little extra energy before giving it my all down the hill.
For lunch, its best to stick to a small nutritious meal, but I like to have some hot chocolate in front of the fire before heading back out! At the end of the ski day, I am usually exhausted…but I don't go right to bed. Night time is the time to load up on some extra calories after working the body so hard all day!
