Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I quite enjoyed the last poll, so I thought I'd try another. How much ski-ing did you get done in the last season? For the purposes of this poll, ski-ing and snowboarding are the same wink

I was in Serre Chevalier for a total of 32 days last season, and I skied for about 24 of them. The rest ws taken up with meeting builders, shopping for things for the apartment, and getting keys.

37 plus a day washed out by weather, 1 by injury & another 6 cancelled through injury. I think this poll may be a bit biased - anyone insane enough to be posting on a ski forum as temps hit 30 C in mid-summer is likely to have at least a mild obsession.

Long way short of my best at about 130 days though as a healthy proportion of my days this year were powder days I'm not complaining.

Around 17 days or so.

Currently 44% managed more than 4 weeks - that's pretty impressive. I knew we were keen but didn't expect the numbers to be quite that high. Or possibly those of us reading and posting in June are likely to be those who go the most often?

I was torn between selecting 4 and >4 wks.

Due to a bit of craftiness with travel times, I got in 29 days which is >4 wks but I spent a day and a bit in front of a laptop in Val-T so at 26.5 I'm under 4 wks again
but.... as a Ski week is normally 6 days 4x6=24 so I'm still over 4 wks - aren't I Puzzled

Still, over 50% skiing 4wks or more though! Cool

Yes. Then we need another poll to ask how long is your ski day. That way we'll really know who are the hardcore skiers who spent the most number of hours skiing each season.

Typical ski day? A hearty lunch on the mountains counts as ski time!! (As long as you ski to and from)...

I will confess to varying degrees of hard-coreness from our nearly-powder day at Alta (09h00-17h00 with one 30 minute break at 15h00 for lunch) to errr, skiing to lunch in torrential rain in Morzine, having a very fine gastro meal (11h30-15h30) and skiing home again. Too many variable to analyse (weather, snow, motivation, ski party, hangover, et al.)

Typical week is 9 days though (out Friday back Sunday).

Alastair, I think that that needs a scale, like "When did you take you ski boots off?".

Hardcore would respond in increasing order of severity:

"in the nightclub", "after the nightclub", "I didn't", "I haven't"...
