What counts as a 'ski day'?

[Greg]

I think we had this discussion before. I skied for about an hour tonight. Does that count? How about the 90 minute session cruising the greens with my kids? At the end of the day, I know the real answer is: nobody gives a crap, but just thought I'd ask....

Tonight I skied a groomed Gunny exclusively. Along with two of my mogul-loving brethren. The bumps are....well..........rough....as I understand it. Wouldn't know myself since I never skied them.

No drills. Just big turns on the Wateas tonight.

I skied for 2 hours tonight, that counts. I didn't count the 3 runs I did after work on Saturday, or the one run down Little Joe with my daughter last week.

Like you said, no one cares one way of the other though....

If you're on skis, you're on skis. I always try to get 3 runs in, even if it's super crappy, but just one run helps refresh the feeling of having skis under you.

If you're clicked in and sliding down a hill, that's good in my book

I got one run in Sunday...took about 4.5 hours, but I count that.

One run and its on the list. More effort there than sitting in the living room.

You put on skis and take at least one run, its a ski day.

Sounds good to me! :beer:

(Otherwise, I have no ski days yet this season! )

Eh, screw it, I'm counting those days anyway.

I think a much better barometer is skiing hours. Kind of like how you deal with boat engines..how many hours of running time. Makes it more even than "ski days" which as this thread demonstrates means different things to different people.

But, alas, in the end, who gives a shit.

Technically it's a "ski night" not a "ski day". Now we'll have to figure out at what time does a "day" become a "night". My vote is 6 PM or sunset or whichever comes first.

Sunset is ~ 4:30PM right now... So what happens if you cross over the threshold? Does it count as 2?

Only if you take your boots off in the lodge for at least 15 minutes - and the judges will be watching!

Ride a lift (or earn it), ski/board down at least once = A ski day and you deserve a beer just for making the effort IMHO.

But as other said WGAS.

If I ski during the day and night I count it as one day. Days don't really matter, but at the end of the season I break down the days skied and amount of money spent and I enjoy the lowest ratio of days skied to dollars spent. I only take pass price into account. If I took lodging and equiptment and apres ski..... Bad math, fun but bad.:-D

I actually had one day last season where we did that... opening day at Sundown, we skied in the morning, went home & took a nap, then came back for a night session. And yes, I counted it as one day.

yeah i kind of operate on the 3 run rule though i've probably never done less than 5. if i'm earning then 1 run is a ski day.
