man i pick up my friends at 4:30 then we drive to the train station, get our shit together and the train leaves at 5.17 every single saturday... at 7.30 we get off in the middle of nowhere and get an another one... then the train gets to the ressort village at 8.30 if its not late, then 30 minutes bus drive and be there right on time at 9.

the benefit of the train is: it costs 5 bucks both ways and its full of skibums like us and you can drink

If I'm at the resort I wake up naturally between 8 and 9 and walk to the ski lift (even if I went to bed at 4... I don't need much sleep).

If I'm in the city I wake up at 7, catch the train at 7:40 and I'll be at the ski lifts around 9:20.

ussually whenver the ride I'm bumming leaves which is often the afternoon which sucks.. It's about a 10 minute drive and about a 40 minute bike ride with all ski gear, depending on road conditions.

I usually just go whenever I wake up, so between 10 and 11 (unless we got alot of snow, then I'll force myself to get up earlier).  It's a 3-5 minute drive for me.

Up at 830, leave at 850, there at 9 when the hill opens. I too can go ski for an hour if im bored. My hill is like an 8th the size of any moderate hill tho. Still my home away from home, gotta love LPT.

PASKIINGSUCKS
Posts: 9097 - Karma: 777
If I'm going to VT I wake up and leave around 2am and get there around 8 or 9 for the opening. I'll ski till 4 or so and head home to arrive back around 11pm. I usually do this a couple times a year cause PASKIINGSUCKS. I am proud of the fact that we get from below allentown to rutland in about 5+ hours barring any authority interaction.

If we're skiing in PA we usually leave around 6 or 7 am.

I'm calling BS here. If you are 5 min from Sundance (UT county) you are at least 20-30 min from the mouth of LCC/BCC, + 15-20 min to the resorts.

If you are 5 min from Sundance, it would take at least 45 min to get to a cottonwood resort and like an hour to get to PC

leaving is a function determined by how many people you are driving with in accordance with how much marijuana is smoked at the departure point.
