I have to leave my house around 7 to get up there for first chair. It's about an hour and 15 minute drive depending on how fast i drive.

What time do you guys get up?

At my mountain if i want any fresh, i better be skiing before 11 otherwise its already skied out. Which sucks ass if i am hungover, waking up at 6:30 and driving in the pitch black hungover is not fun...

it's funny cause you can always tell who's also driving out to the Mtn because they're driving as fast as fuck.  And if that doesn't give it away, all the ski stickers do.

Theres nothing quite like getting first chair on a sick pow day, lapping til its tracked, and making it home by 1. Feels like you've accomplished so much for one day.

On powder days I would wake up 10 min. Before the lift opens, grab some cereal in a bag, put gear on, and be at the lift within a total of 8 min. My record was 6 I believe.
