I just got done with my hour and ten-minute drive into the office. Normally it's about 35-40 minutes but today there was a bad wreck.

To get to the local ski (mountain) hill, in Missouri, it takes me about 25 minutes.

How long does it take you to get to school / work / your home mountain?

TOAST.An hour and 15 minutes to work. Occasionally 2 hours 40 minutes if there is a wreck or something.

Ski hill is 5 minute drive.


That would be way more worth it in my opinion.

However long it takes to get from my bed to where my laptop is. When I'm hungover it takes longer.

Ski hill. Well...I mean I was living in Mammoth and I walked to the Gondola because it was the same distance to the bus stop. I walked by 5 houses and a hotel. A little under 5 minutes in ski boots. When I'm in Mammoth I still stay there and my landlord wants me to move back, so I'll count it. But now I am homeless. I'm going to Japan for 45 days though and I'll be staying at the bases of resorts. I might commute to some other mountains if I feel adventurous. Then I'm going to Switzerland for a bit and I imagine I'll stay at the base of whatever mountains I go to there. I'll be commuting to my laptop during that time as well.

I like my life.

I'm stationed in Germany (Army) and this is by far the best commute I've ever had. It's around 20-25 minutes from the city I live in to base. Once out of the city it's all two lane. I have PT @ 6:30 every morning so if I leave anytime between 5:00 and 5:45 it's so dead traffic wise the street lights aren't even on. Hands down the most fun drive to work I've ever had with or without snow.

If I leave anytime after 7:30.... it takes 50 minutes at a minimum. Sucks.

One thing I can say is there's around four different routes to and from work so that's the absolute best thing ever. Switching up the commute depending on how I feel makes it a much better trip. Some mornings you just wanna start out hoppin' on the autobahn and going over 100 for a few minutes to tell your day FUCK YEAH it's gonna be RAW!
