What's your morning commute like?

I just got done with my hour and ten-minute drive into the office. Normally it's about 35-40 minutes but today there was a bad wreck.

To get to the local ski (mountain) hill, in Missouri, it takes me about 25 minutes.

How long does it take you to get to school / work / your home mountain?
 
I'm ten minutes from being anywhere I would ever need to be. Ski hill, river, home, school. Probably the one perk of living in Iowa
 
40 minute walk to school, 30 minute walk to work, and an hour's drive to the local ski hill
 
Ive made it into work in 2 mins once. Most its ever taken me was 10. It helps that I only have to deal with 2 stop lights. Perks of living downtown I guess.

Downside, I live 4 hours from a mountain, via airplane.

I am a boarder, at a boarding school.

I get up at 7:53 for 8 am classes, my walk is 30 seconds to the math/science building, and slightly less than a minute to the english/history/language building. I could hit them both with a ball if I threw one from my dorm.

It's pretty sweet
 
35-40 to work, 15 to school and about 2.5-3 hours to the mountains I ski. Not ideal, but one day I'll be in the mountains.

How fast if you just cut through the corn fields? Zing!
 
It depends where I am working since I help renovate homes, usually about 10-20 minutes with traffic.

It takes me like 7 minutes to get to school if I'm not behind someone slow.

Between 1-1.5 hours to Mt. Hood.
 
about 35 minutes away from school every day, and about an hour and a half outside of the mountains. neither way is terrible but it does remind me how much i fucking hate driving
 
I live at my home mountain which is nice, but makes for a long commute. I am a contractor so wherever the site is, it is at least an hour away. Right now an hour and a half. Next week 2 hours.

Nothing to add to this thread really, but saw you're from Iowa so I figured you'd want to see this...

40 min to work. First time in my life I've had a commute that far. It is taking some getting used to. And I average 14mpg...
 
5 minutes to the train station, 30-40 minute train ride, then 5 minute walk to the office.

To my "home" mountain, it is 3.5 hours (VT or NY).
 
15-20 Minutes from campus driving

15-30 from the Ski hill (dependent on road conditions, traffic, and if the cops are out)

20 Minutes from work If I go the speed limit the whole way

I flipped a tit after that worst day of my life

I got to Michigan State, and that was such an intense game. Sorry you had to lose though, if it wasn't us I would way rather have had you guys make it to the playoffs than Michigan or Ohio State. Fuck them, you guys have my/MSU's respect.

My farthest class is 1.5 miles from my dorm, and it's a bitch at 8am. Skiing is about 40 minutes from campus too but our ski club is super clutch when it comes to that.
check this hype video of our football team if you're bored. GO GREEN
 
mines 25 minutes, but there's no poll choice for that. OP is only interested in really short or really long commutes.
 
Winter time I'm a 5 min walk from pc, 50 min drive to the cottonwoods and a 1 min drive to work.

Summer I'm a 1 min bike ride or 10 min walk from work.
 
I walk about 10 minutes to the stables and then ride my horse about 7 or 8 minutes to the base of the mountain.

I've been struggling to find a good place to tie up my horse, but I'll think of something before we get too deep into the season
 
usually takes me a little over 5-10 mins to get to work and home, If I get stuck in traffic that 5-10 minutes can turn into around 25-30. I hate getting stuck in traffic.
 
I moved into a house that's right behind my office buildings parking lot. It honestly takes me 55 seconds on the dot to get to work everyday.

I can wake up 15 minutes before work, shower, grab a quick bite for the "road" and still make it to work for 8:59.
 
15-20 minutes on my bike depending on how many spliffs I smoked the night before and what the roads are like. Lately the sun hasn't come over the mountains to the east and I have really been enjoying watching the sun light up the clouds.

My commute home on a clear night is better tho when the moon is bright enough to light up the Bridgers but you can still see the stars in the sky. From campus to my house is entirely down hill so I sit and coast and enjoy the view.

Denver to Grand Lake isn't that great either. Especially, after a 10 hour drive through Western Kansas.
 
hour 45 minutes into the cesspool of the USA aka NYC. Would never recommend anyone living here. The most over rated, craphole ever. Unless you have an unlimited budget or a massive trust fund.

I live an hour and a half north of NYC but would love to live there if I had a serious bank roll. Mainly because of the music scene. My dad used to commute to the Bronx everyday from up here after we moved up here from the Bronx. No idea how he kept sane. At least it wasn't during rush hour. Even on the weekends or middle of the night, there will be hair pulling traffic getting in/out of the city though.

To work for me is 35-40 minutes.

Catskill ski hills are roughly 90ish minutes away give or take.

Yea man I live 40 miles north of NYC right now. Recently moved back up since I switched jobs a year ago. It sucks but sooo much cheaper. Commute is awful im only doing it to save for a house downpayment.

I understand why you would move here for the music scene...but as a six figure+ earner...it doesn't go far here at all. If you could afford all of the amazing restaurants, high end bar/club scene, concerts, etc it would be awesome.

For me im more of an outdoors guy tethered here for now due to work. So I like the space of not being in the city I can deal with the commute. I don't like concerts that much so for me nyc culture essentially revolves around spending a fuck ton of money doing anything and everything and drinking. I dont know what you would do in nyc if you didnt drink
 
I work from home, and I get up whenever I wake up, no real set schedule. But its 2 hours to my local hill (Crystal).
 
Living in a dorm my longest walk is about 15 minutes. about 45-50 minutes to go skiing though now.... I miss superior where it was a 10 minute drive to go skiing.

Does your horsey like the snow?
 
Just moved out of town proper because real Estate is far more reasonable. Still only 7 min to work and 32 to ski. Take 5 off that when I was in town. It's gonna take a lot to pull me away from this town.
 
Hell. I do the 7-4 work schedule just to avoid the traffic in Seattle as much as possible. Drive from North Seattle to Tukwila. Not as bad as others, but the mileage I put on the car and the time spent sitting there is horrible. 30-40min in the morning, 1+ in the evenings.

Seattle is rough, I used to live in North Seattle and did that commute all the time, or even worse, sometimes the eastside.....

Boooo. yeah that one is probably the worst. Seattle just isn't getting any smaller and the infrastructure wasn't meant for the amount of people we now have. Not to mention the water that is everywhere which kinda puts a hindrance on getting places.

You mean this eastside? Ugh. Currently fucked. Mobile places the picture on the top...why ??
 
My 25 minute commute home today was an hour and 40 minutes. It only takes a lane closure 200 feet long to jack Redmond up to Jesus.

I visit Kirkland during christmas and summer and can't believe how crazy traffic is.
 
An hour and 15 minutes to work. Occasionally 2 hours 40 minutes if there is a wreck or something.

Ski hill is 5 minute drive.

That would be way more worth it in my opinion.
