I tend to ski every day on a trip. Some days, just longer than others.... I'll pay attention to the weather and if it's looks like a powder day is on deck the following day, I may just dial back the day before and cruise some groomers for 1/2 a day.
I did 12 days in a row last April in Spring conditions at Okemo and Mount Snow that ranged anywhere from STICKY Spring snow to classic corn, and definitely limited the number of runs I did on those STICKY days verses I had a corn snow day at Okemo where I went basically bell to bell with only maybe a 15 minute lumch break and racked up almost 45k verts.
Also IMHO there is something to be said for early in the season, even on less than ideal days, just getting out on the hill, and staying out on the hill for a while, and racking up the number of hours in your boots and making turns to help get your ski legs ready for later in the season when you might be going on a longer trip and/or have better snow conditions where you want to stay out to last chair..... especially as I progess through my middle aged years.....
