How many ski day so far? (2012/13)

[ScottySkis]

No clue... around 10...no sig...

Do you go out in the mornings before work for an hour or lunch?

I'm at 8 so far....mostly sticking to the smaller hills I can easily day trip to as we are expecting our 1st child in Early February and I need to be able to get home easily if the phone rings!
My pre-season goal was a dozen days as I thought maybe only a handful after little man is born. However I'm now thinking 15 is more realistic especially if I can continue the momentum this month.

I've been out about 8 times and have been enjoying every bit of it!!!!!!!

I only had 15 days last year which was a record low since I started skiing again in 2004. I'm hoping to top 25.

Nick,

I'm in the same boat. My son is almost two so he isn't ready for skiing yet. All my trips have been to gunstock. This includes Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Hope to get to cannon and magic in January with my trip to $towe in Feb. I expect to hit 15 trips this season.

13 days so far. 11 at Sunday River, 1 at Mt. Abram, and 1 at Lost Valley. I should easily meet or exceed my goal (more of an estimate than a goal really) of 30 days.

19 so far. I'm 6 ahead of where I was at the same point last season

This is your first, right? Congrats. It's awesome. My little dude. He's already 7 months (WTH!)

Ah, well, 5 days at 6 hours per day beats 8 days at 3 hours each. I'd rather hear how many hours you skied (don't cheat and count breaks!)

Not in my book...

Slipping out for an hour and a half for lunch - 4 days a week.... Is what I do...
Then I get 6 hours a day on the weekends...

No math required... Cause I'm having fun!

So far I am at 29. I dont ski all day, as I work alot. Have only had 7 days off since the begining of ski season in early November. Also it was weekends only till 2nd week of December.

I wonder where the time goes. My "little dude" is almost 10 and my "old ugly dude" is 14 -

I'm with DMC on this one!

I'd rather get a few good, quality hours on the hill, especially where my muscles are their freshest and i'm able to really bring my "A game" then have to often "endure" those late day, hour 6,7,8 on the hill where the muscles are fatigued, and my energy levels are often down, and i'm more likely to make sloppy turns. Especially this time of year when at most ski areas, the light starts getting really flat after about 2PM. In 6 weeks or so when we start getting much more reliable, later afternoon light, then i'm more likely to extend my day into longer sessions on a more regular basis

I've found, when I had a seasons pass, that a few hours at a time, especially early in the season, was the perfect way to get my body used to skiing. Now that I don't have that option and I try to push myself each time out to get my money's worth, the last few hours are always ugly skiing.

I agree with this as well. My typical ski day is 3-4 hours, roughly 15-20 runs, non-stop. I have had a few ski injuires in the past, so I prefer to ski when I am fresh and not push my luck, and frankly I have usually had my fill by that point anyway. I will usually do the 8:00-noon session, a couple beers at the bar, on the road by 1:00, and home by 2:15. It keeps the mostly non-skiing wife at home with our 2 year old happy too, as I am home in time for her to go out and do a little shoppping or whatever. All of that being said, there are always exceptions ie. powder days too good to come in, longer social ski days with friends, afternoon sessions in the spring, etc.
