I think a lot depends on your build. I am thin and usually drink a water bottle or even two on a short day hike in the LA area in summer, so that is probably a liter or so. I drink a lot of water while skiing, too, but I have friends who seem fine without water under the same conditions, so it seems to be an individual need, not a general rule.

I tried one of those gel packs while skiing a while back and it made me sick, so no more of those. Too much of something in them for me. Clif makes something called Shot Bloks. They look like a cube shaped gummi bear and don't taste too bad. I think you need to drink plenty of water with any of those energy products because they are so concentrated.
