Cold weather doesn’t just chill the air - it changes how athletes need to fuel.

Low temps, longer training days, and frozen snacks can sabotage performance if you’re not prepared.

Research shows cold weather can dull thirst, increase energy needs, and lead to greater nutrient loss, even without heavy sweating.

Let’s fix that by showing you exactly how to fuel for outdoor winter sports - without broken granola bars, frozen fingers, or dehydration.

This webinar is for you if ...

  • You’ve packed snacks only to find them frozen solid (or untouched) by the end of the day and you're not sure they ate anything that helps them perform.

  • You’re constantly guessing what (and when) they should eat on long training or comp days — especially when they’re on the hill from 9-4.

  • You're worried about their hydration but they "never feel thirsty" and you’re not sure how to keep fluids (and energy) in without relying on costly food at the ski hill.

What you'll learn in this 1 hour webinar

In this practical, step-by-step session, you’ll learn the keys to building a personalized fuelling plan that adapts to your athlete’s schedule, training intensity, and energy needs.

  • How cold impacts fuelling

    Understand why energy and hydration needs go up in cold weather, even when they don’t feel sweaty or thirsty.

  • Pre-ski fuelling made simple

    Learn what to eat 3-4 hours, 1-2 hours, and 30-60 minutes before hitting the slopes.

  • Smart winter hydration

    Learn how to hydrate strategically in cold weather — including how some hot drinks can boost energy and fluid intake when thirst cues are low.

  • Lunches that work

    Packed or cafeteria? We’ll help you build warm, practical mid-day meals that support performance.

  • PDF Portable Ski Snacks

    Get a take-home guide of snacks that stay edible in cold temps and can fit in ski jackets or backpacks.

This class is ALL practical, no fluff!

Learn exactly how to fuel for cold-weather training days so your athlete stays energized, hydrated, and focused from first chair lift to last run.
