Winter is here in the Mountain West and that means SKIING! For those of us lucky enough to live near snow and skiable slopes, we must consider the nutrition demands of such activities. Particularly when it comes to backcountry ski touring or ski mountaineering (AKA skimo), there are legitimate safety and performance considerations. So, today on the podcast I re-hash a previous episode that covers everything you might need to know about eating and fueling for backcountry skiing and skimo.
