minus 1 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Now that the vast majority of us have packed up the gear for the season, how many days did you manage? *Half days and nighta count Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 know a retiree who's been out since Dec (and still plugging away), only takes 2 days a month off. dude must have +150 days by now. Link to post Share on other sites
Tetley 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 7 in my first year. It will be much more next I hope. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I'm trying for 50. Maybe I will get it. The weather has to cooperate though. I've got 4 more ski trips planned taking me into early July so we will see... Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 4 more! Sugoi! I'm impressed. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Let me see, probably just less than 20 in the end. Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 if you're counting half-days, then probably broke into triple digits this season. rode more this season than all the previous years combined. Link to post Share on other sites

montoya 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 we run our own web-related business. clients are in Tokyo so we go back 2-3 times a month for meetings, etc. rest of time we can work in the mountains during the winter via computers and internet access. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 that is nice Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 It took us a more than a few years to build it up slowly. Anyway, no reason why you can't be an entrepreneur and start something yourself, whether it be your own English school, guiding outfit, ski distributor, etc - especially if you're here for the long-haul.

Fattwins 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I know just got to figure it out thats all. Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 in my case I didn't start out with any 5-year plans or whatever, I was just bored at work and started doing small projects on the side. if you have the energy, go for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 for some reason, it always caps off at 50ish days... would have been more last year except the bung leg... would have been more this year except for the parents visiting for 3 weeks and taking half our gear home for us...

rach 1 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Probably about 20 in all. Link to post Share on other sites

I hear yah Shimba No matter how hard I try I can't seem to break the 50 mark. I guess the whole weekend skier thing has it's limits. Good for you Montoya. I'm really jealous. That is cool that you can ride that many days while still having a "real" job Link to post Share on other sites
