That's the exact same schedule I have! I also board on Saturdays for school credit, I just take "advanced" lessons. My buddies and I also started a facebook group so every one can know when we are going up and how many extra seats are open in the car.

Must be nice to have that kind of time. I am taking 21 credits and work a job too. I usually don't board when school is in session, breaks are another story though.

During undergrad I used to stack all my classes on tuesday and thursday. those were the DAYS, man. Used to just do day trips on friday, sometimes monday, or whenever. Law school sucks though, I got class 5 days a week (and I can't just skip out and ditch class). So I just go on weekends and stuff now. Probably won't get as many days in this year, which kinda sucks.

at tahoe, a lot of people took advantage of the Boreal college discount. used to be $10 for a lift ticket every friday, but then again, you get what you pay for

Board during the holidays when school is in session.. lucky to get up on the odd weekend but that only adds up to maybe 4 trips a season X(
progression is slow that way

At the end of my college career so unfortunately I had too schedule mon-fri for the classes I need to graduate. So I mainly go on weekend or if theres snow and a delay or something else. May stay skipping a friday here and there to go but missed classes add up. Already been 12 times this year and got atleast 2 more at Killington VT and 3 in Whistler BC. Trying to reach 23-25 days for the year but the schedule definitely isnt helping

Interesting to see how people go about making time at the end for boarding season/mixed up with school
Seems like the undergrad people have the easiest time to plan around it vs people going back to school a second time, and high school kids. I MUST MAKE THE BEST OF MY UNDERGRAD AND BOARDING!! haha @ Spenser W. Your time taken away from boarding now to finish law school will be well worth it! Think about when you finish law school and make 6 figure salary (assuming here) Youll be able to take all the sick trips to nice locations you want during vacation! |

I have classes Monday-Friday until about 1130 every day. If you schedule the classes early enough you can just go up after class every day. I also do a lot of night riding

How can you get school credit for boarding? School or no school, I still board on the weekend sadly. I would love to go on a weekday though. |

I went to Pennstate and they offered a course. i think they also offered killer deals where it was worth it just to join the class for a pass

I used to do something similar while in college. Now I have a 9-5, but I may ask my manager if I can take a weekday off and work on a sunday though.

My uni schedule is really light when I have a full-time loading.. No more than 12 hours of class a week, and that's if they run everything internal and I don't study distance! Only downside is I have had a 8:30-5:30 job which means no days off unless I take annual leave! Makes it hard getting up at 5:30 every day of the weekend to get some runs in!

I made sure to have a couple of days off during the week to ride. It makes the days im at school super long but its worth it to not wait in lift lines.

Agreed that was part of what influenced my decision to stack classes on M W F, that way also, on WED I wont go to college night where its 4 hours of madness of college students. |

That's the hope! We'll see what happens with that though-probably going to end up working a lot of hours during the week! But yeah, it's definitely worth pursuing my goal. |

Snowshoe is 3 hours away, so during the semester, I can only go on weekends. I normally head up Friday morning, ride from whenever I get there till night riding stops at 9, then all day Saturday, and till around 4 on Sunday.
We're trying to get a park set up near campus, but the weather hasn't been kind the last few weeks.

The (only) wonderful thing about being a graduate student is the flexible schedule. I'm working on my dissertation and teaching a T R night course so I take off Thursday night, drive to Colorado from Kansas and then drive home Tuesday morning. I work on my dissertation in the evenings or just take my laptop up to the lodge and work on it intermittently during the day. Ah to be a poor student with no responsibilities.

Ditch class Duh
Oh and never miss test days and always turn in your homework. If your not snowboarding your not missing class. I don't care what BS excuse you have. Get to shtooking class. Priorities. You'd be amazed at what people call, priorities.

I'm 16 so I usually shred all weekend and 1-9:30 on Fridays since my high school has a half-day every Friday!
But it all ultimately depends on if I have a ride since I don't have a vehicle. |

I don't have class or work on Thurs, Sat(after 4), and Sunday. I usually try to stay later, and some nights with midnight madness until 1:30-2am.

Back in college I usually didn't have class on Wednesdays so could go then and the occasional Sat. or Sun. depending on funds. Now I often take Mondays off so can make it a long weekend :).

High School kid here. I have a Jeep, so I can drive wherever I want. Normally, the buddies and I go on Sundays because I have that off from hockey. We also go after school somedays and just mess around of Blue Hills for a few hours. And of course, every snowday (fingers crossed for thursday ;))

I have class monday through friday and work usually on the weekends or at least one day on the weekend. I had to go A LOT during winter break cause I won't be able too that much at all. The only mountain near me that has night riding is really small, always icy and only has like 5 trails but beggars can't be choosers

When I was in school, I could only go occassionally on weekends, there wasn't a mountain that was close by... it was at least 1-2 hours away, and only for very mediocre at best mountains.

I also couldn't afford much riding back then when I was in school, so it was only on weekends every once in a while.

Since mountains were so far away... Christmas break and spring break were about the only times I ever got to go. We have a little hill close by... just not the same though.

I don't go to school, but one time a few years ago I went to call into work from the mountain to say I couldn't come in because I was sick, only to discover a voice mail telling me I didn't have to come in that day.
What luck!
