I usually go 6-7 days a week because I’m addicted and I’ve convinced myself that if I ski all the time I’ll get good. The strange thing is that most of the best skiers I know only ski 2-3 days a week.

5 only because my mountain is closed on tuesdays and wednesdays. I don’t even know what to do with myself those days, normally just stare and the wall and think about how sick thursday is gonna be and what tricks i’m gonna try.

That’s pretty much my situation, but I work at the hill 2 days a week and at my local ski shop 2 days. Usually I ski after because I’m lucky enough for my hill to be really close to my house and open until 9

I usually get a night or two during the work week and Saturdays. I'll get five days related to work and some Nordic skiing mixed in. If I'm lucky I'll get a Monday off and ski.

I just work park crew at our mountain, and we get to ski on the clock. So I tell kids I’m sponsored. But I get a solid 4-5 days a week which seems to be not too little and not enough.

About 3 Times a week it’s hard with school other sports and on top of that not having a car.

1-2 times a week. Been doing more sledding than skiing these days. Never thought I'd turn into one of those people

36 days on my pass as of Friday and then probably 7 preseason days touring. Work nights and weekends at a brewery and my pass was free since I worked full time at the mountain over the summer

try to ski at least 4 days a week since I work up at my local Mon-Thur as night lifty. Sadly have been getting sick these past two months tho so the downtime is tragic.
