whoa dude, that's some love for skiing right there.  8 hours roundtrip!


Depending on where I'm skiing I leave so that I'm on the hill before the lifts open around 9 or 9:30.

am i the only one refusing to even try it because it looks so horribly disgusting?

usually leave around 3 if i get out around 2, otherwise leave around 5, stay for 2-4 hours. It's like 25-30mins tops on a good day, sometimes upwards of 40-45, but it feels like a quick drive the way its set

The mountain I usually ski is 20 minutes away, so on a normal day I'll leave any time between 8:30 and 10:00.

If I'm doing backcountry, getting to the trailhead is usually a little more involved.  Still under an hour for most places, but that's still a lot more than driving to the mountain.  I like to be out of town by 7:00 at the very latest, and I'll leave at 5:30 for longer approaches or spring days.

Depends on the snow conditions, if it's a powder day, up at 7, drive to the hill at 7:45, 35 minute drive, drink breakfast beer while putting on boots, hill opens at 9. If the snow is shitty, I'm probably hungover, so a later start, maybe get there between 10-11.

Ya, we leave at 5:30 and sometimes ski till later than 4. 
Basically our day looks like this if he doesn't ride the bus up.

Leave at 5:30, pick up whoever we pick up, get on the 6:30 ferry, 8 min ferry ride, 90min-2 hours to the mtn. ski from 9-4 or later.  Stop at MxDeez on tha way up for mcskillet burrito and a sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle (best fast breakfast ever).

Unless it's pow day or something special, then we get on the 5:30 ferry, it was worth it this year to do this, rode chest deep pow, light as fuck, and super dank.

Nothing beats the smell of fresh powder in the morning, depending on the snowconditions, i'm first in line at the lifts, or i hike up really early to see the sun rise over my first line of the day...
