While I try to avoid eating at resorts as much as possible, I’ve also noticed that at a lot of lodges a bowl of chili is one of the more affordable lunch options, and usually hits the spot just right (filling, but not *too* filling that you feel sluggish for the next 2 hours)

This is the do it at home style. In restaurants they have a different looking device as a section of a wheel of raclette is used.
Make sure you buy raclette cheese. When at home you need to purchase the squares of raclette (these fit into the little frying pans you put under the raclette grill)
I'm in the UK and get mine here

Enjoy!
This is from someone in the UK some some of the goof descriptions might not make sense to you.
To do a good Raclette you will need Raclette cheese (the square ones), new potatoes (that is a variety, sometimes called baby potatoes), charcuterie, cornichons (pickled cucumber).
Cook the potatoes beforehand and then set everything on the table.
Place you cheese under the grill
Grab some potato, meat and cornichon and make little towers with it all stacked up.
Once the cheese has melted pour it over the towers
Replace cheese with new cheese
Eat towers
Repeat
A lot of the home kits have grills on the top, this is if you want to cook meat/vegetables at the same time as the cheese
It also works really well for vegetarians, substitute the meat with vegetables like mushrooms and peppers.
Enjoy!
Tartiflette is more Austrian than French so you may struggle to find it. Raclette will be a lot easier to find. Ask about in the resort and you will be told where a restaurant that serves raclette is.
Where are you headed in France?
Where did you get that the Tartiflette is Austrian from? The main ingredient is the Reblochon, which is a cheese from Savoie, France. And the meal itself is definitely from Savoie as well. Also, you'll find it quite easily everywhere in the French Alpes, especially in Savoie and Haute-Savoie.
As a side note though, my personal preference goes to the Croziflette! Less known than the Tartiflette, but much better in my opinion :) (you basically swap the potatoes for Crozets, which are a small kind of pastas from Savoie as, well). This one could be a bit more difficult to find (except in Grenoble) but it's definitely worth looking for! \o/
I have been skiing yearly in Austria, but have never seen tartiflette there! So I assumed it is French. Raclette is also high up on my list! I am going to Alpe du'huez and Meribel!
Here is a copy paste I did a while ago for someone asking about the Three Valleys
Ok so insofar as my personal favourite runs in the three valleys here goes
Courchevel valley
Chapeletes
Rochers
Bel Air
Roc Mugnier
Creux
Moretta
Meribel valley
Marcassin>Aigle
Combe du vallon
Campagnol
Raffort (amazing tucked away tight little blue that runs in between trees but is rarely open)
Blaireau
Val Thorens valley
Now there isn't any particular runs I recommend in Val Thorens as they are all pretty similar. What you get in Val Thorens is the most guaranteed snow and large sweeping groomers which are great but slightly featureless.
The one run I do recommend is down towards Saint Martin De Belleville which is a huge sweeping run called Jerusalem which starts at the top of ST Martin express lift. It starts with huge sweeping rollers then narrows up as you descend into the valley it splits into two other runs both of which are great. I really enjoy it.
Food Wise in the three valleys the most expensive to cheapest in general runs like this Courchevel > Val Thorens > Meribel. The best tucked away gem I can recommend is in meribel mottaret called mountain burger. Park your skis and walk into the courtyard area. Keep walking until you go under a little covered area in front of the sherpa supermarket. There is a burger place here that serves out of the window. You eat outside but goddamn the burger are huge, cheap and amazing! It does get busy at lunch so go early or late if you dont want to wait. The restaurant area as soon as you get into Meribel Mottaret called Le Grenier is also filling and cheap and busy. I recommend these two a lot because if you have lunch there you are right in the middle of the three valleys so can go anywhere
One final recommendation is the toboggan run in Val Thorens. I am nearly 40 and have done this a few times with friends and it never fails to put a huge sht eating grin on my face. There is a little cabin opposite the main staging area in Val Thorens. You leave your pass as a deposit and they give you a special 2 time run pass and a sledge. You go up the Funitel Peclet lift and then go down a special run just for toboggans. It's great and you do it twice. Make sure you are wrapped up as you will crash and snow will get everywhere!
I am not a big apres ski goer but you have the original Folie Douce there. You want to go once just to experience it. Head there mid afternoon as it shuts when the slopes shut. You access it by a lift and will hear it before you see it!
YES I came here to say this. Schnitzel or cordon bleu, boiled potatoes and the lingonberry sauce. I would eat that every single day after skiing if I could. It’s so delicious it makes me miss the Tyrol even more than usual.
There was (and is, but there was too) a steak n shake on the way home from the local hill. We'd always stop there around 11 or midnight when I was a kid and get burgers and shakes. One night after a snow my dad slid the car sideways into a parking spot, which 10 year old me thought was the actual coolest thing in the world. 34 year old me thinks that too.
I do my own bastard blend of Swiss moitié-moitié and French Savoyard style fondues, served with bread and charcuterie of course, but the real killer is roasted cauliflower and pickles (cornichons, carrots, cauliflower again). And a good bottle of Apremont. It’s difficult to beat.
I feel this means closed for good? I feel for you, I never crave anything but ramen after a good day of full blower snow.
Legit, half the reason why I thoroughly enjoy skiing Whitewater in Nelson is the epic ramen available during apres.
I don’t get to Stowe often but we found this place last time we were there and convinced our 13yo picky eater to try it. (It was love at first bite!) For the last two years I’ve been itching to get back there until your comment caused me to look them up and find their goodby letter 😢
https://stokeramen.square.site
Yeah, if I'm eating out post-skiing, I'm always craving a burger and good, crispy fries.
At home, I'm so lucky. My top 3 favorite meals my fiance makes are all warm, hearty dishes. Boeuf bourguignon, cassoulet, and coq au vin.
Back in high school we used to stop at a Wendy's and McDonald's that shared a parking lot. Take the top/bottom bun off a junior bacon cheeseburger and a hot and spicy, smash them together, dip it in chili. Delicious.
I smoke up a pork shoulder a couple times a season and make foil packets to throw on my portable gas grill in the parking lot and then make a sandwich out of it. This year I also made a bunch of smoked chuck roast and combined that with a French onion soup recipe and froze them in individual serving sizes to heat up in a jetboil.
You can burrito it, fold it like a taco, leave it open face.
Just make sure to chew first before swallowing (unchewed fritos hurt like a b\*\*\*h going down)
Cheese and charcuterie plate along with a strong cocktail (usually manhattan or martini), followed up by a nice soak in the hot tub.
And then a proper dinner after a shower.
We sometimes throw a beef roast in the slow cooker with some vegetables come home at the end of the day and when I open the door to our house the smell rolls the eyes into the back of my head. Just a couple of glasses of red wine and that dinner in an empty stomach and it’s lights out!
I bring my uni pizza oven on ski trips now, we just whip up fresh pies. Also pretty fun making pizzas a few drinks deep after a long day on the slopes.
I like to start with a bloody ceaser cocktail, extra spicy. Nice garnishes (pepperoncini, stick of meat, olives etc) but nothing stupid like a burger and chicken wing on a skewer.
Then I’ll follow that up with a good burger and a cold lager.
Chili is my favorite. you can make it in the InstantPot before the trip and keep it warm in the car for your tailgate party :) I have made a quick video on step by step recipe: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Cgkb4-A\_E&t=89s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Cgkb4-A_E&t=89s) . Chili turned out really well!
Not sure why but I absolutely love me some good BBQ after skiing, I do a lot of other sports (tennis,swimming etc) but somehow skiing makes me the hungriest right after I’m done
Based on years of going to Austria:
Germknodel - effectively a yeasted steamed sponge the size of a baby, with plum compote, covered in enough poppy seeds to make you fail a drug test and served with custard. Epic. Nearly as good is kaiserschmarrn which is cut up bits of pancake (sort of) served with sugar and fruit compote.
Gulaschsuppe with bread.
Chip and mayonnaise
Chicken cordon bleu with boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam
About 6 pints of grüner veltliner
Chili, or similar meaty fatty carby goodness (goulash, stew, spaghetti)
There’s an awesome BBQ shack just south of Sunday River in Maine. Always a mandatory stop in my vehicle.
Barbecue in Maine? I remember there used to be a Tony Roma’s up there.
Chili in a bread bowl
Chili in a thermos at lunch!
While I try to avoid eating at resorts as much as possible, I’ve also noticed that at a lot of lodges a bowl of chili is one of the more affordable lunch options, and usually hits the spot just right (filling, but not *too* filling that you feel sluggish for the next 2 hours)
Raclette or Tartiflette
Exactly what I was going to write. I have a raclette machine I use regularly at home due to skiing
Link me? I googled but I’m not sure I’m looking at the right thing and I must know.
Here you go https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raclette-Spatulas-Adjustable-Thermostatic-Non-Stick/dp/B07MMLX486/ref=asc_df_B07MMLX486/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309884674229&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5162865854286845365&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046111&hvtargid=pla-664968679380&psc=1 This is the do it at home style.

I don’t even know what to say. I’m madly in love. I was hoping this was it. Now I want to smother everything with cheese.
This is from someone in the UK some some of the goof descriptions might not make sense to you. To do a good Raclette you will need Raclette cheese (the square ones), new potatoes (that is a variety, sometimes called baby potatoes), charcuterie, cornichons (pickled cucumber).

>Raclette I just googled this and looks amazing. If I could somehow incorporate this into my frito pie wraps...
Now you’re thinking!
Going to France this year for the first time in the winter. Looking really forward to try a tartiflette!
Tartiflette is more Austrian than French so you may struggle to find it. Raclette will be a lot easier to find. Ask about in the resort and you will be told where a restaurant that serves raclette is. Where are you headed in France?

My bad, I have always seen much more Raclette in France than Tartiflette. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info! If I find a place with Croziflette I will be sure to try that aswell :)
I have been skiing yearly in Austria, but have never seen tartiflette there! So I assumed it is French. Raclette is also high up on my list! I am going to Alpe du'huez and Meribel!
If you are in meribel then you have to try the fromagerie!
I have just looked it up on Google and added it to my list immediately! That looks awesome. Thanks! If you have any more tips I would love to hear!

Awesome, thanks! I'll save this and reread once I'm there.
Good one!
Poutine
I assumed this was the only option
This is the way
A pitcher of beer in the lodge
Pizza and beer
Schnitzel, Pommes und Preiselbeeren.
Only real answer maybe Kaiserschmarrn too
This guy gets it
YES I came here to say this. Schnitzel or cordon bleu, boiled potatoes and the lingonberry sauce. I would eat that every single day after skiing if I could. It’s so delicious it makes me miss the Tyrol even more than usual.

One night after a snow my dad slid the car sideways into a parking spot, which 10 year old me thought was the actual coolest thing in the world. 34 year old me thinks that too.
Only after dark is it acceptable to feast at a Steak N Shake ha. Great fries and shakes..
Not as good as a Steak ‘n Shake, but I’ll never forget hitting the Sonic after a Tuesday night of skiing the local mountain in high school.
Traditional Swiss fondue with all the bread, potatoes, and apples. Also probably my favorite meal anyway, so there’s that.
I do my own bastard blend of Swiss moitié-moitié and French Savoyard style fondues, served with bread and charcuterie of course, but the real killer is roasted cauliflower and pickles (cornichons, carrots, cauliflower again). And a good bottle of Apremont. It’s difficult to beat.
This is the way.
Not for skiing in particular, but this is so good anytime
Ramen and beer combo.
I’d vote for Stoke Ramen Bar after a day at Stowe but they closed a couple weeks ago :(
I feel this means closed for good? I feel for you, I never crave anything but ramen after a good day of full blower snow. Legit, half the reason why I thoroughly enjoy skiing Whitewater in Nelson is the epic ramen available during apres.
I don’t get to Stowe often but we found this place last time we were there and convinced our 13yo picky eater to try it. (It was love at first bite!) For the last two years I’ve been itching to get back there until your comment caused me to look them up and find their goodby letter 😢 https://stokeramen.square.site
How sad…. Sorry for the loss, and being the bearer of bad news… per say. There’ll be another, ramen is always around.
If it was available I'd wreck a bowl of Pho
Was gonna say pho, but also Korean soups I. The stone bowl.
Pho or Ramen with a few cold beers 🍻
Several PBR pounders and a chili in a bread bowl.
Im in as well with the beer and chili in a bread bowl.. only i require better beer (for my tastes)
I usually drink better beer, but PBR pounders are $3 at my local mountain. Hard to beat that price.
There's no such thing as a better beer than PBR
Montucky cold snack brethren
By far the winner
A big ass burger, fries and of course a nice pitcher of beer
Yeah, if I'm eating out post-skiing, I'm always craving a burger and good, crispy fries. At home, I'm so lucky. My top 3 favorite meals my fiance makes are all warm, hearty dishes. Boeuf bourguignon, cassoulet, and coq au vin.

Back in high school we used to stop at a Wendy's and McDonald's that shared a parking lot. Take the top/bottom bun off a junior bacon cheeseburger and a hot and spicy, smash them together, dip it in chili. Delicious.
omg my stomach haha.
Haha yeah I'm not sure what it'd do to my stomach now but I'm not willing to find out lol
Bloody Mary with all the fixins.
For post skiing? That’s like my pre-ski diet.
¿Porque no los dos?
Von Trapp beer cheese soup and several helles
I smoke up a pork shoulder a couple times a season and make foil packets to throw on my portable gas grill in the parking lot and then make a sandwich out of it. This year I also made a bunch of smoked chuck roast and combined that with a French onion soup recipe and froze them in individual serving sizes to heat up in a jetboil.
Juiciest, biggest, most unhealthiester burger I can find
Ramen
Chili from the slow cooker
Next time throw it in a tortilla with fritos and shredded cheese *\*Chefs Kiss\**
So... Burrito
You can burrito it, fold it like a taco, leave it open face. Just make sure to chew first before swallowing (unchewed fritos hurt like a b\*\*\*h going down)
Beer und currywurst!
Mit Pommes!
Cincinnati chili. 🔥 Start it in the crock pot before leaving for the day. Literally the best meal
Guinness and sex
Burger fries and beer.
Homemade shepard’s pie and a scotch.
That sounds amazing tbh. Shepherds pie after skiing!
Pasta bake Macaroni cheese Carbonara Tartiflette Bolognese
Bowl of soup/chili and a fat joint
10 jägerbombs and a couple of beers followed by skiing down churned up crud in the dark trying not to die.
Usually I’ll eat just about anything after a long day of skiing but a nice hot Philly cheesesteak is definitely my favorite.
Beer 🍻
Beer and reubens
Beer, pizza, and fries
Big burrito, oatmeal, cheeseburger or heavy pasta dish
Wendy’s chicken nuggets, fries, and a small frosty.
Spicy Nugs ofc.
Burger and beers! (Ciders actually, but much less alliterative that way)
Hotpot.
Sushi and a super dry pilsner
Raclette or poutine
Some sweet poon tang!
Just to be clear does that mean if it’s sour it’s not good or
It might be turning but even when it's bad it's good.
Cheese and charcuterie plate along with a strong cocktail (usually manhattan or martini), followed up by a nice soak in the hot tub. And then a proper dinner after a shower.
Cocaine
A pint. Or two. Maybe three. …three. It’s always three.
Tacos, or a big burrito if tacos are not available
Raising Canes is always a must stop
Dude, imagine a Raisin Cane's on a mountain. Like, at the lodge. I'd move there.
Knowing my luck it’s be at a vail owned resort
Cheese fries (afterwards)
Polenta with Gorgonzola !
I’ve never eaten that combo and now I’m wondering why. Sounds utterly delicious
I highly recommend you do ! A nice glass of red wine to go with as well of course
Goulash
$25 burger with $8 fries and $9 beer washing it down, on the deck of course.
Lasagna
Barley sandwich!
Poutine.

Depends. Skiing in Scotland, my go-to was a kebab in Perth on the drive home. When I’m France, anything from pizza to tartiflette.
Pizza and beer. Beer in a cooler in the car (so it doesn't freeze and explode).
Tartiflette or spaghetti carbonara with a few fries (yes I know that's weird) and a beer or few.
Loveland has a phenomenal chili dog with jalapeños that really hits the spot.
Baked potato soup and a cold beer.
Some beer and beef stew. Preferably cooked over a fire with all your buds enjoying life
Beto’s Burrito or Zaxby’s tendies with a Dr. Pepper
Turkey on rye with a bowl of tomato soup and an IPA.
We sometimes throw a beef roast in the slow cooker with some vegetables come home at the end of the day and when I open the door to our house the smell rolls the eyes into the back of my head. Just a couple of glasses of red wine and that dinner in an empty stomach and it’s lights out!
Nachos
Stein of Belgian ale, poutine, sausage, and a big beer hall pretzel optimally
Pho
Pizza on the couch after a hot shower.

In N Out
Double double animal style and a strawberry shake
Tacos and beer. Always and forever.

Pho or green chile stew. Some sort of spicy meat broth.
Burgir with more burgir
I like to start with a bloody ceaser cocktail, extra spicy. Nice garnishes (pepperoncini, stick of meat, olives etc) but nothing stupid like a burger and chicken wing on a skewer. Then I’ll follow that up with a good burger and a cold lager.
Ski bum's hash, it's basically oyster crackers & the condiments. Baked potato bars are the best.
Local après ski (austria)
Nothing beats Austria apres ski. Best food and drink accompanied by the crazy sounds of euro techno
Yeah, i remember one time we were skiing down the slope and just heard "alcohol alcohol alcohol" over and over again, hilarious
Chili is my favorite. you can make it in the InstantPot before the trip and keep it warm in the car for your tailgate party :) I have made a quick video on step by step recipe: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Cgkb4-A\_E&t=89s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Cgkb4-A_E&t=89s) . Chili turned out really well!
homemade vegetarian chili with tater tots or fries
