Winter Sports Nutrition

What to eat before and after skiing and snowboarding for energy on the mountain and recovery après-ski.

Winter sports present unique nutritional challenges: cold weather increases calorie burn, altitude affects appetite, and you're often far from proper food for hours at a time. Whether you're doing laps in the park or tackling black runs all day, proper nutrition keeps you energised and helps you recover for another day on the mountain.

Key Principles for Winter Sports

Before hitting the slopes: Good breakfast is essential - you'll be burning 400-600 calories per hour in the cold. Carbs for energy, some protein for sustained release. During the day: Don't skip lunch. Mountain restaurants exist for a reason. After activities: Your body needs to recover from cold exposure and muscle work. Hot, substantial meal with carbs and protein. Rehydrate - you sweat more than you realise at altitude.
