My mountain opens at 9am, and I skied until 10pm, only 3 stops into the lodge for food and then I was back out... good day.

I get to my mountain at like 8:30am and ski until 10pm. It's great cause there are no lines after 4:30. Night skiing is just as good if not better than day skiing. The mtn. closes at 10 so I'm there from start-close.

I've never had the opportunity to do that. I have skied from 8-5 then gone drinking, then hiked and skied the mountain at night a couple times. Skiing at night with only the moonlight to luminate the trails is amazing.

I often do that too. It's sick, but at the end of the day you're tired!

once febuary hits and i get my licence i'll stay, and i do normally but a lot of the time all the d-bags come out at night with thier "off-peak passes" and are so hardcore they ruin all the lips to the rails/jumps...so i just go home and chill in the hot tub/by the fire.

dude, bring a powerful flashlight, or park your car at the bottom of the hill with the lights on. my hill closes at 4.30, so we ski across the road with night skiing till 10, and our hills private so everyone has left by then. lights out is for pussies

a couple times some breakfast show came to my hill and a few of us did a freeskiing and boarding demo (i was the only skier)
so we chilled and got juiced the night before and partied and crashed out at the hill,.. then the stupid fuckin tv dude came and woke us up with one of the owners and yea,
we were maddd hung but it was dope, cuz the night before we had a private sesh, turning the rope on at like 11:30 for a half hour to chek out the setups and make surre everything was all perdy.. then they came to the hill before the sun came up the next mroning and we were out rippin it up b4 the sun was up
it was like 6:30am
super steezy
All times are Eastern (-5)
