Just out of interest, does anyone here take any training supplements (tablets, nutrition shakes etc) before they hit mountain??..like the way say a footballer or rugby player would??....and does anyone take anything whilst they are way??
This coming season is probably gonna be my fittest in all the years I've been...I'm just looking for advice to get the most from it!!*
*Could be totally undone by an Apres-Ski/weisbier addiction!!!
Anyone?

If you are doing leg intensive stuff on the first day taking a protein drink or bar up to have as soon as you finish does seem to aid recovery... especially if you may be waiting for a few hours before eating your evening meal.

You know it makes sense.

A big dose of MTFU.
Timbobaggins, thats a "whisky Mac" - a "Rusty Nail" is almost as good.

I think quite a few Snowheads "bar up" as soon as they finish skiing.

This has an added advantage if you like singing while you're skiing - it magically oils the vocal chords.

dazman,I always advise that people aim to eat a diet full of super antioxidant super foods like Akuduzushui beans and cranpomergaric berry juice. This helps protect your; skin, genitals, muscles, liver from over/under use in the unusual setting of an alpine environment with its levels of; sunlight, sex, excercise for which many will have little experience of the other 51 weeks a year.
Studies have shown that this improves horny goatiness especially if eaten according to biodynamic principles, berries should only really be eaten on a rising moon, legumes however can be eaten throughout the lunatic cycle.
In preparation for a weeks skiing I myself always consult my natruopathic/nutritionalistic stool therapist, it is best to have a high colonic massage and stool analysis performed by an experienced analyser at least 3 weeks in advance of 'hitting the slopes' - otherwise you could actually have an awful time with a misplaced consonant!
As well as more conventional advice like biodynamic smashinginess and adzudokositikiy berries I also advise my clients to take a wide range of very expensive supplimentts; selenium is a particuar issue for me- the levels of selenium have been shown to be consistently low in the inner ears and big toenails of the particular type of skier the 'Gullibilii North Londonii' to give the sufferers their correct naturapathetic name. Selenium deficency- which is reatively common in Mongolia can actually cause cardiomyopathy- a serious problem if you are aiming to get down a bump run in one piece- so £35 for one months supply is really a bit of a bargain.
Or failing that red wine and ibuprofen.

Multivitamins with Iron - will be making more red blood cells at altitude, good fresh fruit and veg is harder to find in resort too.
Energy gels between runs on race days.
DIY chocolate milk after skiing - good quality drinking chocolate in cold milk.

myrtilles- the alpine super food, packed with anthrocyanins, lycopeinisss and polypolyoloyols- the new fantastic supliments which top celeberries all enjoy.
I always find that it is best to get health advice from very experienced and professional people- like Sheryl Cole, Paul McCartney his lovely wife and especially journalists who write in Saturday Papers and have avoided any sort of bias by having no relevant qualifications at all to get in the way of rehashing marketing poo-poo as 'work' and 'information'.
take myrtilles to a new low with the billberyberrrery enema- mind you- for all the good it will do you- you might as well..................

i find doing some creatine loading really helps with muscle recovery (aka sore legs).
have also experimented with Vitamin/Iron supplements - not sure it makes much difference though.

ed123, I was only asking because a lot of sportspeople seem to be advocating an "after sport" drink/bar ie Maximuscle Viper or USN RecoveryX...I wanted to see if any of our healthier contributors did too.
boardiac, In what format are you doing that?
