snowdude 44 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well up to 11 times now, but hopefully get a few more times in before the end of season. Nice if I can get 15 for this year! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 saturday will see me net my 7th day, hopefully break 10 before the season is out (If not more ) Link to post Share on other sites

tsondaboy 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I ve just reached my last year total and we are still in early March. More than 30 days this season looks feasible now. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Have you used up those prize tickets tsondaboy? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 All of them. Thanks to SJ I was able to hit 22 days by now. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 50 days, biatches. That is not counting any nightas or any 2 hour days or anything like that. I count 12 ski days until the end of golden week leaving me with 62 for the standard season. Then I have 6 ski days at Momentum Ski Camp in whistler in June. A long weekend or 2 in NZ this summer and my goal for 70 will have finally been hit! I may do a sick day park trip or 2 this month just to make sure I have a buffer...

004-0081 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well I managed to increase that 7 from before to 22 which ain't bad considering. Well and truly over now though, work has seen to that. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I don't understand how work can stop skiing unless it sends you abroad or you work 7 days a week. Link to post Share on other sites
004-0081 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Perhaps a little imagination might help. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I am guessing you don't live in Japan, or a snow country for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites

Stuntcok 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 If you live in Japan and don't work 7 days a week how can work stop you from skiing? Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 if you work 6 days a week (long way to go to the mountains for 1 day), if you live in Shikoku, if you are on call, if you suddenly have to work weekends and your ride to mtns was a weekend ride, if you have to do lots of overtime and are too burned out by the weekend, perhaps its a lack of work and hence cashflow....the list goes on Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Here's what I imagine, the nightas have stopped in Niseko, (that is where 004-0081 is located). Work during the day, no skiing in evening. Busy busy weekends to promote and sell stuff for next season. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well looks like my total only ended up at a misealy 13 times this season, but all enjoyable times all the same, this last month was to busy to hit the slopes, but may get a final slide in this month somewhere if I can. Hopefully next season I can do more. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 So a 7 day work week... Fair enough. Actually I was thinking too literally about being directly prevented by work. Other than being on call, the other things are indirect and incidental (like where you live). I, personally, can not understand being too burned out to ski as that is all I can do to unwind and will travel on no sleep to ski one day but I may be an exception. I put skiing way before work anyway. As an example, when as last minute heli slot came up to ski with the wink inc crew in Valdez (trip of a lifetime) and I booked to leave my boss asked if I put it in the system for approval. I replied that I don't need my company's approval to leave, only to come back. As such, I still can't see work stopping skiing. I would chop wood for fattwins if working in Tokyo prevented skiing.

tsondaboy 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 my clock is still ticking, I hope for 2 more weekends this month and at least 1 more in May. Link to post Share on other sites

Stuntcok 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 As you can imagine, skiing has damaged my career. It has also lost me lots of friends and put strains on my familly life. If alcohol or drugs cost this much I would be locked into the Betty Ford clinic for eternity. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have managed only 10 days, but I am happy. I may get another day or 2 in, my problem is that my mates aren't as enthusiastic as I am, and as the weather is warming up, the idea of heading to the cold mountains holds less and less appeal. I didn't mind going on my own when the snow was awesome but now that the snow is wet and sugary its not so much fun going solo. Link to post Share on other sites
