hey i was wondering how long you all get to ski each season. I know most of u are in the USA or canada so alot of u can like just drive to a mountain at the weekends. Im in England and school holidays allow us only 1 week in a suitable time in teh season, so we can only get a max of 6 days skiing a year. Which sucks. alot. But i just wanted to know roughly how many days u guys get to spend on the mountain each year.

On a normal year, I get to ski from 21 to 35 days. 42 If I do a summer trip as well...

I have about 3 months a year that I won't be skiing for the next couple years. I'm a university student full time but ski about 3 full days a week most weeks. Ski in New Zealand from late May until November or December. Then go to the USA from end of November until end of February so fairly much all year round. Good times!

I lived in Nova Scotia last year which wasn't prime skiing weather. I skied like 50 times I think. About 5-6 times a week on average.

Man... I just can´t imagine to ski 100 days a season. I thought that was paradise. Last year was my absolute record, 25 days of all-day skiing. I hope i beat it this year. Gotta move to Canada... :-D

The last 2 years I got 40 days each, but this year I'll be near Baker, but no car. So I'll just have to see what happens.

screw all you gay ass rapers and your 6+ month ski seasons. I live in NW Ontario and last year was Jan-late march, mind you it was bad, but even a good ski season is late dec-early april around here. Proud to say though on our barely three month season last year i got out 53 times :D
