Hey all. i've seen a ton of skiers better than me on here. I'm at a progresion point right now...540s are too easy, and need a bigger jump to try and 7. Rails and boxes are coming along too, they just involve more falling. Just wondering how many times you ski per week. Now i'm at two...school ski club and a night pass.

on a good year... around 12 days, sometimes up to 15 (for the whole year)... no wonder so many people here are better than me.

3 to 5 times a week for probably an average of 4 hours. just enough to not get too sore to ride the next day usually

Once a week, with random day/weekend trips thrown in wherever they can fit. Plan on going way more when I get my drivers license though.

I teach 5 days a week but its very rare that I will teach the whole day so can get at least a hour or two in.

I get monday and tuesdays off so usually shred both days unless im knackered. Plus I ski thursday and friday nights.

Teaching kinda sucks for going skiing but I have a good deal, but next year will probably not work or work very little to ski as much as possible through the winter.

5 to 7 days a week. I have only managed to get out for 7 out of the 13 days this month, due to the thaw setting in.

4-7 days a week usually. my home mountain is a 10 minute drive/15 minute bus ride and open till 10pm every night. pretty easy to get even an hour of shredding in every day.

i punched the ticket on 35 today.

but it should be noted that im not always skiing a "day" sometimes its 2-3 hours.


that said Im in the middle of 21ish straight days of skiing. between working, (ski instructor) race coaching days, etc. i wont have an off day until later in the month.


after that Ill have a solid 5-6 days a week until march.

i'm at uni so once a week. i could push it to fridays and saturdays, but we'll see if the season picks up out here. saturday isn't even my own ski time. i volunteer my ski day to help out with physically disabled skiers so that they better access the hill.
