I was a freshman last year and I skied 30 days over my winter break. The i skied for 5 over my spring break and because i have some decent mountains within 3hours of my school I skis plenty of weekends... i probably still got close to 50 days out there last year... Im hoping for about the same this year

Ready for this? 4. Thumbs down to blowing out your ACL on the 4th day of the season.
But my freshman year I got on the hill about 5 days a week. I even took a legit University of Montana class for credit- Advanced Alpine Skiing. A+.

I skied about 50-70 days last season. Pretty much every single weekend, plus spring break and winter break.

For reference, I am at USC in Los Angeles. Our Ski & Snowboard team has a house in Mammoth. ( www.uscsnowsports.org )

i only got about 10 days last semester. Southeast michigan doesn't have shit for skiing though and its barely worth driving 4 hours and paying 40 bucks to ski the "big" hills in michigan.
