Snow. As in eating it face-first after the first wipeout of the day.

Porridge with lashings of golden syrup to try and make it palatable.

A good Austrian breakfast of cured meat, cheese, bread and coffee.
And a beer to go with that oh-so-important first fag while waiting for the faffers to get their boots on!

Plain yoghurt with fresh blueberries or sliced apple. Freshly ground and brewed strong black coffee (no sugar) Sets me up a treat! I will be alternating with porridge though when I go skiing - made correctly with water and salt and slow cooked! - No milk and just a little honey to soften it up a wee bit when I eat it!

It used to be the mid station at Steamboat.
Pay for an early start ticket - ride the Gondola with the patrol. Into a proper full American Buffet breakfast. Hand stamped like a crappy disco. Ski a run. Return for next portion - and repeat.
Most of my really great ski breakfasts have been in the US. The Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl in Obergurgl gets close though.

Er, you left out:
Wait for peak chair to open.
After 40 mins at the front of the queue, think "oh bugçer this for a lark", and go for a blast down to the bottom of big red.
Ride big red slooowllyyy back up, watching peak open, and 100s of punters more patient than you swarm over the freshies.
Weird thing is, it seems to happen no matter whether you wait 4 minutes or 40....

Porridge made with water not milk and banana or other fruit .
Coffee for a kick start and usually an energy bar of sorts later on.
I do this for cycling if out all day and it sets me up well for that as well as skiing.

I'm with those that say porridge......with honey or fruit mixed in is best. But some boiled eggs alongside this is a must for filling up on protein and beating the hunger pangs.

If I can slide a sausage into a warm moist muffin followed by a squirt of sauce, its a difficult recipe to beat.

Please sir can I have some more......
DAVE 2227, You'll do well in prison, just dont drop the soap if nixmap is in too he might be getting tired of porridge. 
(I would like to take this oppertunity to point out I have never been in prison. Eating porridge made with water as a child has ensured I have grown up to be a law abiding citizen)

I'd guess the most popular breakfast for Snowheads, from my few observations, would be "Resolves"

Breakfast of Champions: one cold can of beer and one large bowl of ice cream.
(that's worked for me a few times. Dispels hangovers pretty well, too).
More practical: porridge, an orange, buttered muffins, tea, juice.
I'm always hungry before 11 though, no matter what I have for breakfast.

DAVE 2227, I'm with you on the porridge made with water, but I add a bit of cold milk on top and I love maple syrup instead of sweetener on it if I am not feeling super-virtuous about the diet. I have to say I found it wasn't enough to last me all day skiing though. My system far prefers porridge to a wheat-based breakfast, and fried just gives me indigestion.
What kind of stuff do you get in Chalet breakfasts? I've been self catered before so it is a new thing for me. We're staying in Chalet L'Escapade in ADH the 1st week of Feb.

piece of string...... anything from your own private chef waiting to put together practically anything you fancy, down to a large pile of baguettes, cheap jam and perhaps (if it's wednesday) some slices of rather wet ham.

Two favourites have to be..... in reverse order....
2. Princessa Parc - Arinsal - Last nights leftover meat, minced and boiled in grease to make a flat sausage thing. It sounds revolting, but I think it may be the tastiest thing on the planet. (Needs combined with a good selection of sweetbreads, half a pound of bacon, a few fried/boiled/poached/not sure eggs, cereal, bread, a couple of glasses of red wine, maybe a glass of champagne and two cups of coffee to set you up for the day)
1. The Killington Inn. Vermont- Steves cooked to order pancakes, or Steves cooked to order muffins. The muffins make McDonalds look like no-one in McDonalds research and development team has ever had a decent muffin. The pancakes are so good that we are planning to go back to Killington in 10/11, not for the skiing, but just for the pancakes..... with blueberries and maple syrup

Lagavulin, though, and then I'll need the Rennies

Porridge made with milk, maple syrup and raisins and a drop of Laphroaig. Fresh OJ and a really really good double espresso and a very fresh croissant to dunk in the coffee and then a large glass of water just before setting off.
