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?

wake up around 10, out the door at 11, and there by 12. Nothing worth getting up for at my mountain.

The earliest I've ever woken up was 3:30. But that was for a trip with my high school Ski/Snowboard club.
Other then that normally 10:00.

wake up at 7 check the snow reports for summit county area. stay up, drink coffee, and smoke weed regardless of snow. If driving somewhere else, try to leave before 8. if staying in breck, hop on bus whenever, 6 minute ride to the gondola

im actually in the coffee/weed/ns portion of my morning right now

P.S.

When I'm at college (Syracuse) I don't bother getting up early (unless its a pow day) because it's only a 500 vertical foot hill and they have night skiing.

So 4:30 is only when I'm home.
