                                Studies reveal that alpine skiing burns anywhere from 300 to over 600 calories per hour, a major reason why you might ask, 'Why am I so hungry after skiing?'. This massive energy expenditure, combined with several other physiological factors, creates a powerful urge to refuel after a day on the slopes.
