How Many Ski Days in 21/22?

[Dmoss]

I spent 90hrs driving 3200 miles to gore and back this March. Got me to just over 25 days. Really takes its toll though

We made the mistake of doing our first ever lease right before deciding to get a place near Gore. 1yr and 16k miles later we're a little over our 10k a year allotment.

I spend a few more times skiing time than traveling time to go skiing.
For me it’s usually been about 3-5 times more time skiing than traveling for skiing.
It’s the local bumps, (Lab/Song) good fun and pretty easy door to door.

The trip up to Gore was fun with amazing views & a long day. The boys wanna go again Saturday...
Spent more time on the road that day than on the mountain.YMMV.

I was thinking about this:

I'm sitting in that middle group 21-25 days.

That's like a motivated MASHer (Mid Atlantic Ski Hell) or flatlander but a slug local.

Be cool if we could also capture:

• Local
• Capital District
• Flatlander

in the poll.

So every time you are making the call you got the cost of gas AND the lease on your mind!

Did you skip any ski days because of cost?

Counting the HOURS, man that is hard core.

I'd hate to add up the hours (or the cost!) but honestly aside for the early alarms and fatigue, I don't mind the time driving too much.

I need ONE MORE DAY so I can move into the elite 26+ days group!

87 and dynamic cruise control make it much easier! I don't think I would be able to handle a 4hr drive to Vt every weekend. Didn't skip any days because of cost. we'll cut costs someplace else. Besides every day we skip makes the per day cost of the SKi4 go up, can't have that!!

Gore being open Good Friday pushed me into the 26+ group, My goal for the year was 30 days, I may lobby the kids school for some extra days off next year to achieve this

Did you change your vote?

It is amazing how much easier Gore is to get to vs really any place in VT.

Ski4 is Tupper on it now?

I’ve always thought “ Ski Days “!
are for bragging rights. Example:If you take one run every morning before work (30 minutes, from car to car) for a week you get to claim “5” ski days, Time wise 2.5 hrs
If you go on a weekend and ski opening and some night ski for a total of 10hrs by the earlier example it equals 4 ski days?
Apples and oranges? Just for fun peve. Guilty myself
