yea dude, just pack your own lunch. Normally I bring a sandwich, some power bars, and whatever other food is lying around my house/dorm. I might buy something small but i try to avoid it

for sure, throw some candy and nuts in a ziploc bag and grab a samdwhich put that shit in your pocket and problem solvoed. Think about it people if you ski say 35 days/season, which really isn't that much many people on this site ski way more, and you pay $10/day for food at the mtn which is a conservative number becuase where I ski a fucking sandwhcih or some shit can be over $10 you are spending over $350 a season just for lunches. my season pass to Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin and 10 days at Vail was $350. If I don't spend money on lodge food that means I can get a season pass for next year. BAM. I know the fries and pizza looks damn good and is hard to resist when your buddies are pigging out, but the money you save could buy you a season pass or a brand new pair of skis!

its not so much the food prices that bother me because you can always bring your own even though its a pain in the ass. with food at least you have options. its lift ticket prices that piss me off. you basically have to have them unless you know lifties so your kinda forced to buy them.

the way to go is PB&J stealing shit is risky and scumy, the best thing to do is get one of your friends to work in food servie and have him get ya free food

Word, the five finger discount works for me. Or 10/$10 Ramen noodles + free hot water = food of the gods.

Think about this though, if enough people brought their own food and refused to pay the ridiculous prices, they would be forced to lower their prices (or raise them I havent though this far...damn economics) but neways that will never happen, just wishful thinking.
