I track days on slopesquad.com , and of course it's critically important to get this right ;-)
We did a hut trip this weekend. As it turned out, the road that takes you most of the way wasn't closed to vehicles yet, but after we got most of the way up, the driving just seemed too squirrelly. My husband dropped me and our friend off - the two of us ladies skinned up from there to the hut, started the fire and settled in, while my husband backtracked, parked the car, and skinned all the way up. We got maybe a mile of skinning in (we backtracked to meet him as it got dark); he got maybe three.
Saturday, friend and I went out and explored on skis. We were hoping for some turns, but the slope we chose was just too mellow to actually glide (except on the snowmobile tracks ...) So 3-4 hours of what was essentially crosscountry skiing on AT skis.
Then Sunday, skiing out, mostly wedging down a packed-out road with a short stint of uphill at the start.
I'm thinking that across the three days, I can legit consider it one day of skiing, even though I got maybe five actual turns ... right?
