My wife and I spoke to a gentleman on the chair lift at Laurel Mountain who was an avid cross country and downhill skier. After minute or two of chatting, I asked him if he ever skied at least 10 runs on all 3 Laurel Highlands hills (7S, HV and LM) on the same calendar day. He said hi did on at least two occasions and I have no reason to doubt him. Just curious if anyone else has done this.

 Always wanted to do that. I'm sure you need to get an early start and save the "apres" literally for "apres"  Would have been difficult this sat and sun with weather.  I'm sure someday I'll be able to that solo (not wife kids and their friends in tow.)  I love skiing with the fam, but that's sort of a solo effort in my opinion.

a couple of years ago when we had all slopes open, a tele skier started before the lifts at Laurel with permission I add, skied and climbed back up till the lifts opened. did all runs at all 3 resorts in a day!  I do not remember his name.

 Obviously could be wrong, but that sounds a lot like something a Mr. Mike M. would do.  I'll leave his full name off the post but if you know him you know him.

I did HV and LM in the same day, but not all three.

 Yeah, several times I've done 7S/am Hidden Valley/pm. One day I'll hit all 3.

here is a twist: back when 7S would stay open into April - skied 7S in the morning and played 18 in the afternoon

 A few of our more depressing winters over the last ten+ years I have skied and mountain biked in the same day. Even in months like January and February. Fun but also sad.

 Sadly I'm talking 2.4" tires on bare trails because of warm weather.  :)

I could see doing it, but only if I am not driving and can keep my boots on. Once the boots come off at my age, I do not want to put them back on. 

A real fun one would be to do a couple of the Laurels, and then stop at WT on the way home to really mess with Epic's tracking.  🤣

We did Laurel and HV last weekend amongst a wintry mix.  I believe I can do all 3 as long as I do 7S first at start time.  Agreed about the boot removal.  I usually wear boots all day at HV and never take them off until last run.
