Baller ScarletArrow Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm going to miss 2-3 of my regular skiing days in a 7 day period. I the last time I skied was Thursday. I missed Friday and Saturday when I took my daughter to MWR over the weekend. I leave for a business trip tomorrow so I will miss Tuesday as well. I return until Wednesday evening and will ski Thursday. My ski buddy recently went 14 days b/c of a long vacation. What the most your skiing gets interrupted by trips away from home (business or pleasure)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RazorRoss3 Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'll have one or two 1-2 day long trips that cut into ski time. Never anything too bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 At my Job we have a plant shutdown for 2 weeks right in the middle of the summer. Usually loose 2 to 3 weeks of skiing from it. This year it cost me the rest of the season due to cutting the tip of my finger off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerR Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I always end up hurt or having to travel to places I can't ski. But I don't really stop in the "winter" so I hope I make up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted August 3, 2014 Supporting Member Share Posted August 3, 2014 Usually I can fit skiing into most vacation trips, and I don't travel a lot for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DaveD Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 Work, vacation, skiing buddies on vacation. It's a constant battle to get consistent skiing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 My skiing is only interrupted when I can't find two other skiers... or at least a driver and a rider... or my wife says "NO". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkfight Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Summer is fire season and, right now, I'm on an engine heading to some fire near the Oregon/CA border. I'm told we will be up there for anywhere from 7-21 days. If it lasts 21 days, I will miss two multi-day ski trips and several day-trips to the local public lake.

Baller Waternut Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 Usually end up with 2-3 international business trips every summer that span at least a week and usually 2 weekends. Throw a short vacation in there every now and then and I probably don't even touch a ski for 5-6 weeks throughout the summer... I don't notice a week off so much but 2 weeks off takes time to come back to normal. Could be worse... My job could suck and I could have injury related time off instead of vacations and work-cations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OTF Posted August 4, 2014 Members Share Posted August 4, 2014 My family does not seem to understand this simple sentence. I do not want to leave home for any weekend between May and September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2014 I travel for work so I need to work my skiing around that. I can usually get a set in most days I am home so it isn't a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted August 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2014 3-4 tournaments per year interrupt my ski time. I just came home from the Midwest Regionals. That will be the last one for a while. I am thinking of taking a season off from tournaments just to train. In Men 4 you have to get into 35off to make Regionals, and I have yet to get to it in a tournament. Ski time has been curtailed due to illness in June, and the lousy weather in this area. It is reflected in my scores. I also have to get some of the extra weight off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2014 I had no idea that when my company promoted me, that they'd expect me to actually work! WTH!!! I went 8 years living the life of a playboy with no responsibilities because no one at my company knew what I did. Now, I'm somewhere every week. Case in point......planned on skiing this evening and then in the morning. But instead, I'm jumping on a 2:30 flight to Dallas and won't get back til late Wednesday. Being a grown up sucks!
