The answer to this question greatly depends on what constitutes a day skiing. Does a backyard setup count? Or a small local hike hill with some rails? If those count that probably doubles my days.
50-70+ on average. If I luck out with mostly night schedules, its almost guaranteed you can ski 5-7 days/week split between before-work action and days off which is nice, but still make your days off from work worthwhile. Kinda more focused on working as much as I can and making a ton of money this season and still trying to ski vs. skiing a ton and making a lil money in the process.
I have a two month season and can only go on the weekend, I got thirteen days in last year, but the year before that was especially terrible and I only got five days in.

Good question. Personally, I count any day that I have skis and boots on and am on snow. If I’m at a resort... doesn’t matter if I’m out there for a run or a whole day, I count it. Same with backyard stuff... if I’m out there for a handful of rail hits, I count it. If I’m on skis I’m a happy kid, so that’s why I count it lol.

Well if summer setups count I probably get 300 days a year.
1st season was from October 29th to May 2nd, probably just shy of 175 days. I was only working evenings and weekends and lived 20 minutes walk from the lifts.
2nd season from December 15th to May 1st, probably about 120 days, maybe just shy, working split shifts so 7-10am then 6-11pm and living 5 minutes from the lift.
I was getting into the 120-140 a year range for a while whilst doing summers in New Zealand and Australia. I'd get somewhere around 100+ range in Tahoe, and up to 30 or so while abroad.
In high school and college I was averaging about 75, when I ski bummed in Crested Butte I was doing about 150, now that I am back on the east coast working full time and doing family stuff I get about 25.
