switchlip2I’ve got 35 while attending public school and my season started November 24th
MaimHelpNot enough
ThegratefulskierToday was 70 for me, 53 in a row. First 8 days were on a preseason set up. I work lift ops and get 7+ runs a day when I work and ride both my days off.
switchlip2At my mountain lifties only really get time to night ski on work days. Explain
ThegratefulskierIm the guy that gives the lifties their breaks. I ski from chair to chair and check in on them. The more I check in with them, the more I get to ski. My job = ski.
DeadB70-65 kinda gettin bored w it. Need like a railjam to enter or something.
switchlip2We have 2 lift supervisors at my mountain that ski around. Whenever I ride with one of them we poach while he’s on the clock lmao

BradFiAusNzCoCaPushed back a week so snow will stay until may. Originally, was gonna open this Wednesday.
Im at about 17 days or so which is fucking depressing. I use to ski almost everyday last few seasons
ColoradoDogfartyup, hopefully gonna be there next Wednesday for opening, as long as they have a big old tube il be more than happy
ReturnToMonkeyFr the worst part about colorado skiing is the lack of night skiing. Sure there's some, but it's far and generally inaccessable and still not even open til 2 am like hyland is sometimes
weastcoatI look at the people who only have a handful of days in and don’t ride 5 days a week like I do and can only think…
if I get to that point my life is either going really well or absolutely fucking terrible and there’s no in between.
BearsOnKetamineI have 400
but there’s only 365 days in a year
I have 400
eheathLife changes man, you're not gonna have the same priorities in 10 years. I only ski 30-40 days a season but I also work a full time job so I only ski on weekends, it's pretty hard to ski much more than that in my position.
But when I was in college and had class 2 days a week, I'd stack 80-100 days a season. I've been there, the change isn't negative at all, it's just how life goes and unless you work at the resort/in the ski industry you won't ski as much in the future.
I was getting close to 100 days most seasons when I worked for NS, but I chose lifestyle over income, which eventually had to change. Now I'm a weekend warrior and I'm completely fine with it, mostly because all of my friends are now, too.

weastcoatYeah I feel. I don’t have many issues with becoming a weekend warrior, wouldn’t wanna become anything less than 3 days a week though. I plan on adapting a similar path of yours aka get a real job but I still feel like I’ll be able to ski 4 days a week courtesy of night laps at woody pc and Brighton once I’m out in utah.
I was mainly referring to the people who maybe get out a handful of times a year.
