Americans will drive hours for a great powder day on the slopes, with the most die-hard powder chasers driving an average of six to eight hours, according to a SnowBrains<\/em><\/a> survey.<\/strong> A surprisingly large number of respondents reported trips exceeding 15 hours. This might sound absurd to people not from the United States, but as the world has been watching the World Cup this summer, they have learned that Americans are just built differently when it comes to their mindset on driving.<\/p>\n

First off, the United States\u2019 geography is expansive, and Americans drive more<\/a> than any other country in the world and are used to driving every day to get to work, run errands, and handle other daily activities.<\/strong> The United States has the most extensive road network<\/a> in the world, with nearly 4.1 million miles (6.6 million kilometers) of roads, ranging from the country\u2019s expansive interstate highway system to the vast selection of state, county, and local roads that access nearly every part of the nation.<\/p>\n
