What powers your skis?
All this talk about big plastic boots and width underfoot gets me thinking, what powers my skis?
Seems for me it's a combination of carbs, fat, and protein (look away Johnny):
Bratwurst boiled in onions and beer, then finished on the grill. Onions sauteed in olive oil with beer. Spicy German mustard. Fresh crusty rolls. For dessert, you guessed it... a half liter of Bavarian Dunkel.

Haha. It gets worse. I was planning on eating garlic perogies with these but my wife ate them on me.
I eat lots of fruit and veg too... but stuff like raw spinach and kale I can't eat. My system hates it.
This kind of stuff is in my genes. My body loves it!

Re: What powers your skis?
The secret behind my 180 days of skiing every winter is very simple.
For me there's only 3 food groups: Sugar, booze and sprouts. Simply put, mostly this:

Re: What powers your skis?
The Bratwurst didn't work that well... plastic boots would have helped I'm sure...
Did some dh runs today mid-tour. Snow was better but my skinny 200cm Glittertinds were still sinking to the grass trying to turn. They felt like they were on rails. I dunno, I'm looking forward to trying those Annums. Not looking forward to ruining them on shit snow though.
It's still early... patience grasshopper.

Man I thought you were all healthy and shit. My sister is vegan so I guess I was expecting something more like her. She does drink a ton of booze though... must be part of the diet

For the downhill It's all gravity and a beergut.

You'd think the uphill would help knock down the beergut, but it seems for me I can drink beer faster than I can climb hillsteledance wrote:For the downhill It's all gravity and a beergut.
Re: What powers your skis?
Rewarding the hike with a Barley Wine at the top of a climb doesn't help, and beer is a great analgesic for the post ski day.
