i have a 3.5 and i've had 60+ days the past two years. this is going to school in philly, having to drive at least an hour and a half to ski, with a short east coast season. you can ski a lot more than you would think.

i dont know about good grades but im going to jay peak every friday morning and probably coming back around 5 to go skiing at another local hill so pretty much 11 hours of skiing in one day.

and if it is snowing hard then i have to call an emergency ski session and go to the hills with my buddy no matter what i have due the next day.

I go to Boise State and I get pretty decent grades and I get to ski every day... but that is because Bogus Basin is 16 miles from boise and it's open from 10am to 10pm and my classes are out by 10am. so I study for a little while after school then off to the hills..

yea, i could go to the hills anytime i wanted and i WOULD go all the time...if i had a car. 20 dollar cab rides one way are killer. the fare is like 5 cents a second. its messed up.

well ski season hasn't really stared, and since i'm just a freshman, i'm just speculating. But i plan to ski atleast 75 days this season. I have a semi-challenging course load next semester, but the mountain nearest me has night skiing, so I can go to class all day, grab a nap, and ski under the lights. I have a season pass, so even if my GPA drops because of skiing, it'll be hard to stop.

Live in Utah. Get a season pass at Snowbird, Alta, Brighton, Park City, Solitude, Whatever. You could schedule afternoon classes. Ski for three or four hours in the morning then go to class. and then go night skiing later. The resorts are that close. If you don't have a car you can ride the bus to the hill. Season passes get you a free bus ride up the canyons (from the mouth).

It depends on where you go I think. I'm a soph in engineering (with good grades) and i get to ski like once a weekish. But, i dont have much good skiing around me. I think if I had a close good mountain i would ski more.

I go to Penn State. (UP)
