Food at all the Oregon spots that I've been to is great, and I'm a picky vegetarian. SkiBowl has great nachos, Timberline has chili in a bread bowl, and Meadows has a couple different independent restaurants on-site. The unappetizingly-named "Meadow Muffin" is my favorite though.
And I know people complain about it being spendy (and it is), but the fact is that I can have a great meal halfway up a mountain for less than it costs me in our minor-league ballpark. |

I like to make a nice batch of trail mix when I go up to the mountain. It is not a course meal, but an excellent snack and always delicious

I like to keep it cheap: Take your own bread, and then buy the soup at the cafe; whereever it be. Soup is usually pretty cheap, and then you get good energy from the bread too.

I never eat on hill food. I'm probably much richer because of it too. Stuff is so expensive.
I do get real hungry some days though. I wish they would heavily discount food to season pass holders. |

Dont know if you guys have heard of it, but if you ever get to board in Austria, they do a dish on most mountains called Goulash (sounds wierd i know). I think it originates from Hungary, but is sold all over Austria. Its a spicy soup type thing with chunks of beef in it, served with bread to soak it up. Excellent on mountain grub for keeping your energy levels up.

I usually just carry some trail mix bars and water in my pocket to eat in line or on the lift. The best food I had on the mountain though was a huge burger filled with two beef patties, some barbqued pulled pork, and a couple strips of bacon.

French fries at almost any mountain are delicious. It almost seems like most of them all get the same kind...
Also, waffles from Waffle Haus are amazing. I dunno if they have Waffle Haus anywhere but VT, but theyre at a lot of resorts up there.

Fries and chicken fingers if I didn't pack lunch. Occasionally I'll get a luke-warm burger or pizza. That's really all they have actually.

I don't like to stop to eat during the time that lifts are still running that way I can maximize my time on the slopes so I usually just keep a couple energy bars in my ski pants pocket so I can get some quick energy while I'm stuck riding up the lift. Haha, in fact I generally try not to waste any time with urination either if I can help it.

Kirkwood has terrible facilities but Bubbs Pub makes some killer grub. Their seared ahi salad is fantastic and so are their sliders, both also aren't that expensive. You could pay almost that much going to their crappy cafeteria.

There is a small resort in PA called Whitetail that i swear to god has the best egg salad sandwhich ive ever had. Im kind of an egg salad snob too!
If we are talking about food we can eat on the lift than i vote for Cliff bars. So many different flavors to choose from. |

PB&J with bananas! Something about paying a premium to eat resort food takes away from the whole experience of being on a mountain in the middle of nowhere...

I usually stock up on roadkill during the drive to the hill...sometimes I have to make my own roadkill (but it's better fresh anyway). Barring that, I'll board through the trees and try to find small woodland creatures to feast on.

I was so impressed by the food at Mammoth...they had like 4 or 5 big places with 5 star food. Im not kidding, it was awesome. It was a little pricey, but so is the cheap food everywhere else. In NC, I got a thin nasty burger with nothing on it for like $5. At Mammoth, I got a restaurant grade huge Angus burger with everything (even Jalapenos and bacon) for like $8. Definitely worth it!

The Chili Cheese fries they serve at Kirkwood were always a great deal if i recall.
If i'm super hungry and nothing else can quite suffice, the EPIC burger from Heavenly was amazing |

cliff bars and pb&J...on the mountain. And water to wash it down. Lately, everytime I take a break for like an hour for lunch, I'm all sluggish in the afternoon. On the mtn eatin' is more efficient for me.

I don't eat usually while on the hill either. I'll go all day without eating, until I get back home. I'll eat cereal or a granola bar before, but that's about it.

i usually make some almond butter + blueberry jelly sandwiches in the morning or the day before and eat those on the lift or in line. that usually suffices.
my friend likes to buy trial mix from the gas station on our way up, so I eat that too sometimes. |

Granola bars are delicious when they chill from being with you up on the mountain, especially chocolate covered ones.

Carbs, carbs, and more carbs. I try and bring at least a cliff bar. If you look at the carb content compared to other bars they have more than most, plus there bars don't get squished.
I also bring two sandwiches a day. I need the carbs.
