5 must-pack snacks for every ski mission

We talk a lot about ski gear here on Freeskier.com; informing you about the best skis, boots, bindings, baselayers, midlayers, helmets, goggles and so much more brings us great joy.

But, what we don’t talk about often is how to fuel your body properly. So, with that in mind, we’ve rounded up five of the best on-hill snacks on the market. May they keep you skiing all day, everyday, and may you enjoy each and every bite.

Classic Flavors Sampler—The New Primal

All of this company’s products are grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised, all-natural, gluten-free, soy-free, sugar-free, hormone-free and antibiotic-free.

It includes: one pack of Original Jerky, one pack of Spicy Jerky, one pack of Turkey Jerky, two Classic Beef Sticks, two Spicy Beef Sticks and two Classic Turkey Sticks.

Energy Bars—Bonk Breaker

Avoid that nonsense with a brand specifically named after defeating the dreaded bonk: Bonk Breaker. These energy bars contains 200 calories of non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free deliciousness that’ll keep you shredding from first chair to last. They come in a variety of flavors, too—like mint chocolate chip, salted caramel and more—so you’ll surely find something you dig.

Stroopwafel—GU Energy

So, what is it? It’s a “syrup waffle that acts like an Energy Gel, but tastes like breakfast,” according to GU. We couldn’t agree more. Chowing one of these down on first chair is a proper way to start the day, and you’ll be able to shred hard thanks to essential amino acids, electrolytes and carbohydrates.

UnTapped—Slopeside Syrup
