Since this is gaperzone :)wink:) i can ask such a dumb question. Excluding college years, i dont think i've done more then 3 in a row. Have a 5 day trip planned in early february and i'm actually wondering what condition i'll be in by the 5th or even 4th day.

Its not so much the quads or back or anything for me but the knees tend to start barking. LOUDLY.

Two years ago we took the RV for a road trip through New Hampshire for spring break. We skied 5 days straight. I'm not sure how we did it - first chair (or something close) to last chair. Sleeping in Walmart parking lots.

We're planning on doing it again this year.

Cool man. I will be doing a multi day trip up in VT around the same time. Maybe we can meet up for some turns?

Every year I do 8-10 straight days over the President's week holiday. Granted if I dont pick a day or 2 in there to take it a little easy its tough towards the end.

Every year I usually take a week off. Ski hard 6 straight days. Hard...all day...off-piste, woods, trees, and I usually do this at Alta where I hike often to get to the goods!

As long as you're in shape.....ski through the pain!

The most I've done is 10 straight days ....when I was in grad school.

I looked into the RV thing. renting one anyway. my brethren expressed concern about the "smell" by the end of the trip however.

Six days in a row.


Touring. Chic Chocs. And I'ma do it again this year.

Granted not a lot was done on the sixth day last time. It was a 7+ mile slog out, that's all.

I did 9 in a row last year the beginning of March during my vacation. Typically get atleast one 6 in a row strecth during a season while on vacation, last year without any days lost due to air travel since I didn;t go out West last year, I was able to tack the extra days on :)

Two winters ago I skied from Early december to Mid-Feb without taking a day off. These days it's more like three or four at the most.

7-8 is the most. done it a bunch of times. but to be honest after about 4 hard days, i'm pretty fried. i always say i'm gonna take a day off but never do it.
