Distance From Home Mountain

[SKI.ING]

I'm curious as to how far people are from their home mountain. Like how long does it take you to get there? Are there a lot of weekend warriors on this site, or do most people on NS live close to their mountains?

 

[BlakeG]

20 mins, its only a 100m hill so, no mountain.....So closest mountain to me is 15 hours to Banff.

 

[Bensun]

I am about 3 hours with no snow on the ground. WIth snow on the roads it can vary from a 3 to 7 hour drive. When it really storms I usually have to stay home and wait for it do die down. I LIve in SF and Ski at boreal/northstar/Sugar Bowl which are my "home" mountains. I do a lot of day trips. I only get up around 12 to 20 days a year. More then some but still disappointing

[CashmereCat]

I live about 30 minutes from the nearest hill. It isn't the best so if I actually want to ski something good, I'll travel roughly an hour and a half to the next closest.

[johnnyBuz]

Holla. Boulder was my home mountain last year. Mountain Creek will probably be this year.

About 90 minutes from a variety of mountains in the Poconos. Plan on being a weekend warrior since I work full-time and then ball out for another 2 weeks at MHSSC over the Summer for a 'fix.'

 

[.squirrely.]

5 minutes to the home mtn, wachusett

 

[TotalNan]

About 10 minutes to the mountain I work at... 5-7 if I speed. About 1.5 hours to boulder/frost in the poconos

 

[IBAM]

Its about a 2 hour drive to my home hill, so I can only go on weekends, which sucks. Backyard jibbing takes up time during the week, so I get a bit more time on skis.
