Is it easy for you to find people to do a local weeknd ski trip with? A lot of people in the 20-30’s demographic say they want to go skiing and have no one to go with

Nope! Super hard for me to find people who a) Ski and /or b) can afford it! I end up going alone a lot and meeting people on the slopes

I ski alone a lot, just no backcountry by myself for safety.
But yeah chatty on the chairlift and in bars down in the ski town. I sit with random people in the on mountain dining areas. Sometimes if I see people who ski well on the slope, I follow them down and try to chat them up in lift lines....
Many awkward chats, but I meet a lot of people! And has led to fun on and off the slopes

P1 - where do you live?

Washington DC

Chiming in, I’m in Seattle and will travel solo to ski destinations

I have a good group of ski friends (including some who have both epic and ikon!) so I used to always have people to ski with, but this year everyone’s availability changed so I’m going by myself with ski buses etc (based on NYC, no car)

Just spent a week at Revelstoke BC and that place is ridiculous! They already had 27’ of snow so far this season and it snowed every day we were there.

Does anybody else get extremely, unhealthily anxious that they're not getting out there enough, that they're missing great snow, that they're stuck inside working, that there's only a few months of the season and that it's all-or-nothing?
The thought of having to find the best run, the fewest crowds, the best pow days, etc. all make me physically uncomfortable.
Even just watching the videos of snow fall on
Tahoe is making my heart race spike.
