When do you usually ski, midweek or weekend

[powderman]

This year, it's going to be weekends for me, but I do plan on skiing a few midweek powder days as well as a few non-powder midweek days here and there. You?

both...early and late season I ski more on the weekends along with scattered midweek days based on my vacation time...midseason when I'm not on ski trips..I try to make it to Blue mountain everyday rain or shine.

At Blue I pretty much ski...Monday through Thursday evenings..Friday afternoon since I usually get out at Noon on a Friday and Saturday and Sunday mornings...my record stands at 61 straight days in a row but usually after 10-15 days...I like to take a rest day..to nap and hang out at the bar. I definitely feel guilty when I miss a day of skiing..even if I am sick or tired..if I miss 2 days in a row..I feel like a complete de-generate..since I can never get those days back..

On ski trips out west..my travel days are usually on the weekends so I can ski more weekdays..

I used to ski exclusively mid-week, now I ski exclusively on weekends. Different jobs

 

[dmc]

i go out and ride an hour or so every day since I work from home...

I'll ride most of the day on Sat and Sun..

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Mostly weekdays in the Pokes.

 

[Dr Skimeister]

Weekdays for day trips, weekends overnighters.

 

[Sky]

Mostly mid-week evenings. Occasional med-week mornings (excursion to Wa en route to work) and the rare all-day mid-week to someplace worth taking a day-trip for.

Rarely weekend days. Occasional weekend evenings (wife/daughter/boys).

Midweek skiing for pure enjoyment. Weekends on my lunch break, or when I close up the shop at the end of the day.

 

[Terry]

All day both days on the weekend, and usually tues, wed, and thur nights. Early season the weekend days are usually shorter because of lack of terrain open.

Every weekend every Holiday day, except x-mass. I take about 3 weeks off in the winter. X-mass to New years break. (this year doing the two full weeks.) I also take the Nh vacation week off. Another 5 or 6 long weekends that are not holiday long weekends. and any other day I can come up with an excuse. Usually 5 days for late spring turns in April and May. Probably making opening and closing day as well. At SR I'm one of the working people. I have never seen so many people who don't work the full traditioanl M-F schedule. All business professionals who have won.

3 to 5 days during week and both days on weekend

WEEKENDS...

I work during the week and live 100+ miles from the mountain so it really isn't much of a choice.

However I do try to take as many days off as possible for any chance of FRESH!!

I'm lucky enough to have a work schedule that lets me ski Sat, Sun and most Mondays each week. Then I'll ususally throw in a full week sometime around the last week of Feb/1st week of April. The other variable week for me is X-Mas week, where the days I'll get on the hill that week depends on what day of the week X-Mas/New Years is and as a result what days of the week we choose to close th office that year.

One of my seasonal goals each and every year is to make sure that I ski on every day of the week over the course of the season.

 

[severine]

Mostly midweek. Don't like crowds and night skiing has been really convenient for me. However, that's likely to change with school and work crapping up my weeknights this winter.

 

[Puck it]

Whenever possilbe.

Whenever possilbe.

Good answer! :beer:

Wednesday nights and Fridays are the most typical for me. There might be a few other weeknights in there, and perhaps a few Sundays. I rarely ski Saturdays unless it's just a quick afternoon thing with my daughter.

 

[Vinny]

We're retired so it's midweek pretty much exclusively. We'll ski weekends and vacation days with friends and family who can't make it mid-week, but they can usually be convinced to take a couple of days off.

 

[kcyanks1]

Weekend. I live too far away from ski areas and have long hours anyways. I'm fine with making plans to go away for the weekend mid-week of the week before to try and get up for good conditions, but aside from planned vacations, it's going to be weekends. I hope to take off a week in March to go someplace out west.

 

[WWF-VT]

Weekends, December thru April. 200 mile drive from MA to VT. Take time off for Xmas and February vacation and a few random Mondays or Fridays.
