The best of both worlds for me.
Each day I have 2 Mars bars (part of a 5 for £1 multipack bought at home) and a litre of water (part of a 6 litres for 2 Euros multipack bought in the local supermarket) in my backpack each day. A couple of beers (at local rate) on the slopes at lunchtime is part of the experience. We have all spent over £3 for a pint in some sh#thole of a pub in England, so why quibble over the price of a beer in gorgeous surroundings.

And the moral of the story is take water in your back pack.
No one has to give you anything for nothing.
One of the reasons I appreciate living in the US is that there is so little petty penny pinching. There would be a riot if any cafe/restaurant did not have free water available, even at a ski area.
True, but tastes like crap out of 1.....
I wonder if they keep beer cool :thumbup:
When you are booting up 200 vertical meters it tastes like the best thing ever.

They even had a cutting from a French newspaper stuck up saying that the French law had changed and restaurants are no longer required to provide free water.
So I had to BUY bottles of very expensive water :evil:
I think that was really mean, because water is essential when you're ski-ing, just like it is in the desert, because it's very easy to become dehydrated.
