“Yeah, I got to 100 days”
Every self-respecting ski bum should be aiming to reach the 100 days of skiing count each winter. Here are my tips to reach that milestone.
- Work like a dog in the summer and fall. The more cash you save when it’s not snowing, the less you need to work during the winter.
- Find a night job.
- Get an on-mountain job. Unless the snow absolutely blows, ski patrollers always get their 100 days up.
- Stay off the booze or tolerate skiing with a hangover.
- Skin up pre-season. It adds to your count, gets you fit, and helps prevent injuries.
- Ski up post-season. Corn snow in some high altitude bowl still counts.
- Work at a resort with a long season. (Like A-Basin high up in Colorado)
- Have a profitable side hustle to help keep the bank balance up.
- Abstain from family, friends, mountain biking, and religion!! They just get in the way.
- Ignore the first bit of point 9, and find a partner who skies more than you.
There you go peeps, I’ve written the instruction manual, now go make it happen.
