Calories Burned Skiing for 3 Hours
A 3-hour skiing session burns approximately 1,200 to 2,700 calories depending on the skiing style, intensity, and your body weight.
Three hours of active skiing represents a substantial half-day session at a resort or a serious backcountry tour. This level of activity requires careful attention to nutrition, hydration, and pacing to maintain performance throughout.

- Start fueled: Large breakfast 2-3 hours before
- Mid-session snack: Energy bars, gels, or sandwiches around 90 minutes
- Stay hydrated: 1.5-2 liters of fluids during the session
- Pace yourself: Moderate intensity is more sustainable than all-out effort
- Listen to your body: Take breaks when needed to avoid fatigue-related injuries
