It's not quite the same, but I love the amount of energy and calories burnt during a day on the mountain, and how it means that I don't have to worry about what I have for dinner! I'm working on losing weight, but ski days are usually the ones where I splurge on dinner afterwards, on the days that I ski through lunch. It's a rewarding sport.

When I taught at Mt Holly, we always had lunch at the bar across the street. They had the best "Ranch Fries" - big spiced potato wedge fries with a bowl of ranch dressing.Yuuuuummmmm. 
Now it's the giant Crystal Crispies. Humongous Rice Crispy treats, some with a coat of chocolate over the top. Can you say calories and sugar??????

Oh MY gosh! You guys are making me sooo hungry! Did I mention that I just finished dinner?? 
If we are staying there, then lunch is a frozen burrito (or 2) and dinner is spaghetti with frozen meatballs and jarred sauce with Colombo garlic bread.
If buying meals, then lunch is a spicy brat with sour kraut & yellow mustard and Round Table pizza for dinner. Yummmm

Volklgirl your not fooling me! You didn't go over to the groveland Bar for their fries. You went over to hide from Pam and the buses!!!! 
Old trick! Busted! " Honest Pam I didn't hear the page over the P.A.! And I wasn't on the backside either." She use to call over there to round up her brother-inlaw John, and the rest of us that he had lead astray! I must know you . I just can't place you. I moved back to Mi. in winter of "95". Were you at Holly then? Mike Barry and I were talking about this the Sat. before we closed, old faces and what not. I can't believe Pam ever hired any of us back! We were evil, but we had fun! Pam even had my son teach for her while he was in highschool. (Obviously she didn't learn from her mistakes!) Lol. By the way I have a very increminating picture of Woody mooning me at the slush cup this spring! He's still a pervert, but in a good way. P.S they still have the fries there, but unfortunately way to much cigarette smoke!

Slightly smashed tuna sandwiches (with chopped apples and pecans in the tuna salad) and spiced tea (the instant homemade kind with Tang and Nestea and sugar mixed together). That was definitely my mom's go-to lunch and apres-in-the-car hot drink when I was growing up.

Hmmmm... everytime I ski I crave the wings we had at this resturaunt in Maine (Longfellows). It was after our first day of skiing on a big mountain. We drove into town and stopped at a random resturaunt. Not only did we strike up some great conversation with the staff... we found wings that were truly amazing. In fact, we went back three times for a late afternoon lunch once we had our fill of skiing. The wings were delish (home made sauce... and non-greasy wonderful wings). I also think about Carrabassett Pale Ale! I'm usually a light beer girl... but being from the midwest... and more specifically... Wisconsin... I love a beer. I fell in love with this beer. The local liquor store is going to try to order it for us. Now that ski season in south eastern Wisconsin is over, I will have to wait until next year to enjoy it as a post ski beverage.
I was curious... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartiflette is this the Tartiflette you were talking about?

Oh, I forgot one!
Apres sushi in the upstairs bar at Matsuhisa in Aspen. Indulgent and oh so very delicious. Now that I no longer live on a coast, this is where I think of when I think of sushi. And I associate it with that post-skiing feeling, which I never would have, back when we lived in SF.
mmmmm Matsu's. So good, yet SO pricey. Next time you're here, hit up Takah or Kenichi. Same fish delivery/vendor - but a little cheaper.

My food association is edible to bad institutional food. All the food I've had at ski areas reminds me of airport food. I know there are good restaurants in some ski towns, but they are always so overpriced (and I don't mean expensive--I mean I can a great meal in Paris or New York for less than what a good restaurant in Whistler charges). This is one reason I am dying to go to France to ski--how can you beat a raclette lunch with a nice white from Alsace?
(Maybe there needs to be another thread about the best food at particular areas?)

No, really, it was the fries!Volklgirl your not fooling me! You didn't go over to the groveland Bar for their fries. You went over to hide from Pam and the buses!!!!
We must have just missed each other because I started teaching there in 1990 (I think) and moved up here in 1994.

That's it, it is incredible. It's on every menu in the Chamonix/Savoie region. Soooo good.
I thought of something else, not really food. The hot cider they have in resorts, it's my preferred drink during the day, hot, sugary for energy, but doesn't leave you bloated like a lot of hot chocolates. We don't have it hear in Australia, so I always pack as much of it as I can in the nooks and crannies of my suitcase. It's quite cool here tonight (it's been snowing in our Alpine regions!) so I might just have one after dinner.

I'm totally not a foodie - the only association I have is a good, cold Canadian-made Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade after a full day at Searchmont.
And it has to be Canadian-made, as they're made with vodka in Canada, and aren't the overly sweet malt beverage that we get here in the US.
