Number of runs you get in a day

Just curiouse but how many runs do you guys get in an average day? Since I live in Minnesota I get like about around 70 on a normal saturday because of the tow rope but I want to see how this compares to other places like out west.
 
My got 33 runs in about 4 hours of skiing this year at Mad River Mountain...No rope tows though, just the park lifts.
 
In bounds it's usually around 10 laps. If I'm sessioning the park maybe closer to 30. Touring it's anywhere from 1 to 5.
 
It's always a challenge to count runs since there is so much variation between T2B runs at a big mtn and short laps on small lifts. I'm usually good for 20K' +/- 5K
 
How does the breakdown start 0-25. If you are on the west coast getting 25 a day is pretty tough, unless you are on a vacant mountain.
 
you're severally underestimating how many runs you get. It takes about a minute to take a top to bottom lap at hyland. That's 120 in two hours. Since Saturdays usually last 5 hours at hyland that's 300 laps, but taking breaks into consideration I'd give it 210-230. Rope tows are the shittt
 
You should base this on vertical feet. I get about 20 runs in a day but I average around 25,000 vertical feet, usually a lot more if it's a weekday or I'm skiing by myself.

I think its less subtracting time spent in the "chalet" , on the couch, standing around talking and waiting to hit something, ormother stuff.But yeah I was wrong deffinetly more than 70
 
I ski from 10-9 all day with maybe, maybe, probably not lunch but with one bathroom break. thats it. so i get in a LOT of laps. and i bomb in between hits. i do stop and smoke tho.

like 10 on saturdays because nobody knows how to quickly get off a lift and falls everywhere and maybe 25 on sundays

yea this, I swear everybody at springs is a gaper. I'd say I get in about 20 runs at least, but it's hard to say

I'll usually traverse and hike a bunch, especially on pow days.

Pow day- around 10

Midweek non pow day- 30-40

I'm the complete opposite on a pow day I'm lapping lifts trying to get the most I can in the quickest amount of time so it's probably around 25 on a pow day cuz of lines.

Non pow day I spend more time traversing and hiking to find the snow but it's still usually around 20.

If I'm just skiing park or it hasn't snowed in a while probably like 35-40
 
The most I've gotten is 26 runs at Sugarloaf skiing by myself so I could bomb runs and ride the singles line. That was on a saturday too. I could get more on a weekday, but I'm usually with friends and we don't always bomb every run.

Depends on the area for sure. I don't have the talent to ski certain lines the way I want unless there are near perfect conditions, and a lot of these lines tend to require 15-20 minute bootpacks.

For me, there is nothing like standing on top of an untouched line, 60% sure you can pull it off. Those are the kinda lines that are only skiable when the line itself and the runout are smooth, and soft.

First chair, I'm heading straight to the gnar. I can harvest hippy pow later in the day if I'm not cooked by then.
 
Only 30-40 at Granite Peak. They are in desperate need of a rope tow. They have plenty of room for one too.
 
this thread is pointless because on east coast i could take 40-50 runs. Its all about the vertical feet, that is fair for all ski resorts

450+ on a saturday at hylands, twelve hours on the tow rope with minimal breaks

possibly an overestimate, but totally doable if you're young, fit, and can ski 9am-9pm on an average day. don't know why people still say "hylands" or "highlands" it's "hyland". you sir are insane. I can only take 4-5 hours of hot laps and I'm dead.

negative infinity percent change you get 200-210 laps, even on a ropetow.
 
On an average (not too crowded, not empty though) day at Mount Snow/Carinthia I could probably take 10-15 runs at Carinthia before lunch, then probably another 10-20 split between going over to the north face and main face then finishing the day back at Carinthia.
