well all my classes were built mostly around the day, so early am and late pm classes, and they do that on purpose at CMC so you can ski more...i included urbans and st marys glacier as ski days too though. not just at resorts, hiking backocuntry and skiing chutes in june/july...
i made a tick on everyday i skied on a calender, thats how i kept track, i wanted to see how much i skied when i was in college...sure is a lot more since i got outta high school

18 sad i go to georgia tech. unfortunately with how much work is involved with architecture, i didn't get to go much up to north carolina, so I skied more out west. This year i should be able to go more. Looking for 25, then a lot more over the summer when i move out to hood.

i skied prob 4 times a week when i was in school. if you live real close to your mountain and do your classes right theres no reason why you can ski everyday.

got just over 100 days last season, but it was difficult and expensive (approx. 140 miles roundtrip most days is doom), but classes were convenient, usually 2 days a week, plus a couple longer trips here and there.

I skied a hell of a lot more in university than I did last year while working. I skied about 9 or 10 days total :( That included a week long trip too. C.R.E.A.M.

I'll give you my real count after this year...but I have a 6 week Winter Break...expect about 25 days from that alone... Between 30-50 is my guess...and I'm in central NY for school too.

Usually about 30 times a year... but with better scheduling and a vehicle that does better than 14MPG, I'm hoping a be at at least 40 this year.
My closest resort is an hour and a half away from me...
All times are Eastern (-4)
