It’s snow season, which means that it’s slope season! Hitting the slopes is the ultimate winter activity. You get to enjoy the clean, crisp air that the cold weather offers while staying active and warm (usually). Winter is when all of the athletes start brushing off their skis and snowboards and prepping them for the powder-coated mountains. A day at the slopes is packed with fun, adventure and exercise, which can also make it pretty tiring.
Make sure you get the most out of your snow day and stay energized during your mountain activities by packing healthy and portable snacks to take with you. To help you prepare, we’ve created a list of our favorite on-the-go bites!
