I had a look around to check if someone had already made a thread like this but couldn't see one, so here goes. How do you personally prefer to carry out your typical skiing day?
I stick to this routine whether or not I'm skiing with other people...
I load up my jacket pockets with a few pocket-sized essentials (water, muesli bars) before I get off the bus, make a bathroom stop as soon as I get off, then I just click in and ski non-stop all day. There's a blue groomer on my mountain I always use as my staple warm-up run; I ski that once, then go from there. At most, I stand out of the way and take a 5-minute muesli bar break..the lift rides are enough time for resting the legs, especially when the lift stops in the middle (this happens quite a bit at my home mountain)! The 3 key reasons behind my ski routine:
(1) I find that having a hearty lunch of mountain food before skiing again isn't what I prefer personally;
(2) I want to make the most of my time on the slopes;
(3) By not stopping, I've got my skis safely attached to my feet all day; no letting them out of my sight means no chance of them getting swiped
