what time do you leave and how long of a drive is it

for me we leave on most days around 10 and its a 1 hr drive roughly
 
im hard core, leave at 745 stop at holiday for a huge mtn dew....... go to mickey D's and get a mkskiilet burrito

on the hill by 9..........
 
whoa dude, that's some love for skiing right there. 8 hours roundtrip!

Depending on where I'm skiing I leave so that I'm on the hill before the lifts open around 9 or 9:30.
 
if i leave for a big mountain, i leave at like 4:30 am and wake up at 4

if its wawa, i wake up at 630 and leave at like 645
 
week days i leave after school around 1:30. 50 min drive. weekdays i just work skiing around whatever else im doing that weekend but still try and make it out both days
 
I live like 10mins from my hill so I jsut leave when ever I feel liek skiing. its so nice bc sometimes ill jsut go for like an hour if im bored
 
usually i leave around 9:00 pm and it's about a 5 minute drive to get downtown and about 10 to get to the shipyard where there are the really good rails
 
am i the only one refusing to even try it because it looks so horribly disgusting?

usually leave around 3 if i get out around 2, otherwise leave around 5, stay for 2-4 hours. It's like 25-30mins tops on a good day, sometimes upwards of 40-45, but it feels like a quick drive the way its set
 
if i take the bus i have to leave my house at about 6:45 to be at the bus for 7:30 which gets to the hill at 9:15.

if my dad/friends drive we leave at 8 and get there about 10.
 
leave my house at 6:45, meet my homeboy at his house and hop in his car around 7:15 for an hour and a half drive. to a shitty mountain
 
leave whenever I want, 25-35 min (traffic dependent) drive to COP if I want to ski park

leave 7:30am, 1.5 hour drive to Sunshine Village

 
The mountain I usually ski is 20 minutes away, so on a normal day I'll leave any time between 8:30 and 10:00.

If I'm doing backcountry, getting to the trailhead is usually a little more involved. Still under an hour for most places, but that's still a lot more than driving to the mountain. I like to be out of town by 7:00 at the very latest, and I'll leave at 5:30 for longer approaches or spring days.
 
i'm about the same...minus the mountain dew and all that stuff. mcdonalds or my school's caf where i stock up on odwallas and stuff since i refuse to pay the ridiculous prices at the mountain
 
Depends on the snow conditions, if it's a powder day, up at 7, drive to the hill at 7:45, 35 minute drive, drink breakfast beer while putting on boots, hill opens at 9. If the snow is shitty, I'm probably hungover, so a later start, maybe get there between 10-11.
 
if im at my dads wake up at 8:30 leave at 8:55 get to the mtn at 9 sooo 5 min drive

if im at my moms wake up at 7, 45 min ride 7:45 take the bus to the resort get there at 8 wait till 9 in the lodge
 
Ya, we leave at 5:30 and sometimes ski till later than 4.

Basically our day looks like this if he doesn't ride the bus up.

Leave at 5:30, pick up whoever we pick up, get on the 6:30 ferry, 8 min ferry ride, 90min-2 hours to the mtn. ski from 9-4 or later. Stop at MxDeez on tha way up for mcskillet burrito and a sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle (best fast breakfast ever).

Unless it's pow day or something special, then we get on the 5:30 ferry, it was worth it this year to do this, rode chest deep pow, light as fuck, and super dank.
 
if i'm driving i'm up at 7, leave at 8 and at the mountani by 9 at the very latest.

i hate waiting around in town wasting time while the mountains open.
 
dudde thats fuckin crazy.

i get up round 745 leave at 8. on the hill get to the mountain around 845.
 
Nothing beats the smell of fresh powder in the morning, depending on the snowconditions, i'm first in line at the lifts, or i hike up really early to see the sun rise over my first line of the day...
