I make zip lock snack bags full of 3 or 4 kinds of mixed nuts (heavy on the walnuts) and throw in some dried fruits - raisins, cranberries, cherries, etc. The cold keeps it from getting sticky. If the food lines are long in the lodge, I have lunch on the lifts and keep going all day. I also bring watered down power aid and the reliable PBJ (preferably on raisin bread).

I like prunes but it can be risky

Famous Amos cookies, I always have a bag in my pocket, great chair lift snack.

Water to drink. Got an MSR dromedary bag for this season to replace the plastic bottles I'd been using. Snacks are usually chewy granola bars (hold together pretty well if you fall) or packs of crackers. 

Nothing like whippin out the classic frozen pop tart on a lift up.

Of course, where I live, it's usually not frozen.

Nothing like whipping out a whole side of smoked salmon.

Clif Bars.  But my buddy and I noticed something.......interesting.......after eating these prolifically.  Anybody get serious gas from Clif Bars?  

Ya, I said it.  Some of you must have been thinking it. 

Spam Musubi!  It's good cold, it's filling, easy to eat on the lift, it's protein and carbs (and grease), and it's already pre-squashed.  What more can you ask?

Downside is that it does take a bit of effort and planning to make beforehand.

Dude that's sick. or impressive. i'm not sure... It is the oddest thing I've ever heard of!

Do you use a "light teriyaki" flavor?

That's about what I thought: WTF...Hmm, maybe? No, WTF...but then again, I'd try it. Too much work for the hill, though.

I'm a long time nuts and dried fruit in a ziplock guy.  I went through a dried squid phase, but right now I'm in a charcuterie phase.  Locally made fresh jerkies are killin' it for me at the moment.  I'm very likely to have a variety of salamies in my pants at any given time.  Some dry cured olives are a nice addition but I may have to add a crusty baguette and some Humboldt Fog to the mix.

I hope you typed that with a big grin on your face.

(eta ... I have spent the past 5 minutes trying to figure out an appropriate way to say "Thanks for sharing your habanero beef stick with me" but I just can't find the right words. Anyway, it was tasty. )

Well..... yes I did and you're very welcome....I'm sure it will be my great pleasure to share with you again in the future =D

I can't believe that no one has mentioned brownies.

I'm usually good with an oatmeal breakfast then 2 slices of lodge pizza before the lunch rush. Other than that I don't eat until I get home.

Interesting concept. Like second amendment bears?

So that's why there was smoking on the chairlift?

was this what you referring to?  

I won't post the photo here for protection from further scorn of the non smokers. In one of the past threads the three of them were on a chair and there was smoke.

Now maybe those "randy" sticks were the cause, but it could've been something else. ore it's nothing altogether

Would you eat a cold hamburger on the lift? Like saved from lunch/dinner.

geez, now i'm starving...

  But: different day, different mountain, different company.

Although Bumpfreaq and I did have our own little chairlift adventure, too (power outtage on ski hill). Would have actually been a great time to smoke on the chairlift.

Same concept, but betterrrrrrrr.

A thermos of grzaniec(polish mulled wine) is a delicious way to warm up, or even some normal red wine and a kabanos(small smoked sausage).  Power bars, granola bars, peanuts round out the usual choices.  Brownies do sound good though, or some PBJ.

First time I met bumpfreaq was during his dried squid phase. Found this supremely impressive and knew that I HAD to spend more time with the guy. I'm usually much more conventional, regularly  opting for breakfast banana stashed in my pant cuff, granola bar in my jacket, and often have a supply of Skittles on hand. (Much prefer the tropical fruit variety, but have not been able to find them in the mountains. Have had to settle for the crazy colors variety, or, in a pinch, the originals.)

What about shipping to Tahoe? Would they like to become the official pocket rocket sausage of the Tahoe gathering? That's quite an honor. Extensive chairlift testing will ensue.
