I'll probably be lucky enough to ski about 130 or so days this year. I'm 54, and just recently finished a stretch of skiing 45 days in a row.

Now having said that, there were a lot of 'easy' days mixed in with those 45.  I can do maybe 2 or 3 hard days consecutively, then generally take it easy for a couple days.

For me I find I feel better by skiing more often, even if I'm just skiing groomers for a day or two than I do in taking days off.  I took 7 days off during presidents week, did nothing for 2 days then some stationary bike and light stretching, then 2 days off and more bike, but overall felt stiffer during the week off than during the 45 day stretch.

Granted my 'hard' days would not approach what Bushwacka is doing and I can't do bumps all day like I could 30 years ago, so a 'hard day' is a relative term.
At this stage I'm just looking to get as many quality days in as I can. If my body says stop, I do. This week I skied 5, took today off, maybe tomorrow too.
