Your Official 2006-07 Ski Season Breakdown Thread

16 - Sugarloaf
8 - Sunday River
1 - K
1 - Pico
= 26.

Two fewer than last year, but not too bad given that there was no week-long trip this year. Kind of weird that every single day was on my pass. Next season a few days at Saddleback and in northern VT will be a priority.

Maybe one Tuckerman day left. Even if not....great season, great times, and it really ended with a bang.

I actually feel like I'm halfway decent now. It's tough how the season ends when you're at the peak of your abilities, then it takes a while at the beginning of the next season to get back to that same place. Maybe the crazy nuts taking summer vacations in Chile are on to something.

I updated my total as it's now 43 days and I hope to get in some skiing on closing weekend at Sugarloaf to end the season at 45 days.

Tough year this year

Terry · Apr 20, 2007, 3:41 PM

I skied 49 total. Not a great year as I injured my back end of January so I missed a lot of days. 33 at Shawnee Peak
8 Sunday River
5 Attitash
1 Cannon
1 Pico
1 Killington
Wish I could have skied more but maybe next year!

Sorry to say only five days. Slow start because of weather and days 2 and 4 resulted in injuries that required 4 weeks (torn calf muscles) and 6 weeks (2 twisted knees) off respectively.

I got in Day 5 today, 4/20, just because I couldn't live with an injured 50% of the days out skiing stat. (and it was a very good day!)

kcyanks1 · Apr 22, 2007, 11:08 AM

10 days and about 1.5 hours

Jackson Hole: 4 days + 1.5 hours
Hunter: 2
MRG: 1

Friday was Day 35 and I've officially hung up the skis. I told you all this would be an epic season!

Here's my breakdown:

Mount Snow (1x): 11/25
Hunter (5x): 12/8, 12/15, 1/15, 2/9, 3/19
Sundown (15x): 12/10, 12/27, 12/30, 1/4, 1/12, 1/24, 1/28, 1/31, 2/7, 2/21, 2/26, 3/13, 3/21, 3/26, 3/30
Jiminy (4x): 12/21, 2/11, 4/1, 4/13
Sugarbush (4x): 1/19, 3/5, 3/6, 3/7
Magic (1x): 2/16
Berkshire East (1x): 2/23
Gore (1x): 3/16
Mad River Glen (2x): 3/8, 4/6
Killington (1x): 4/20

A few highlights:

Met 18 new AlpineZoners this season! Many repeats.
My goal was 30 days and I scored 35 so I'm thrilled!
The Hunter 12/15 Gathering, 16 AZers + friends = 22 strong.
While bittersweet, spring bumps at Hunter in December and January were fun.
Wednesday night Sundown AZ gatherings
~175 bump runs on Nor'easter at Sundown!
Got to the MRV three times; Skied a damn cold midweek at Sugarbush and MRG in March; April powder day at MRG!
Probably some of the worst conditions of the season (certainly not their fault) but got to a new mountain this season at Gore.
Scooped up powder remnants at Beast and Magic.
Skied several new trails I've been meaning to hit inclucing Redline (Magic); Beast (B-East); Rumble, Spillsville (Sugarbush); Annapurna (Hunter); Paradise and Fall Line (MRG).
Made several advances with my skiing, specifically bumps, including a tighter stance, standing a bit taller, better A&E, and a more aggressive line.
Finished off the season on a ton of terrain at Killington with phenominal spring conditions.

All in all, my best season yet. However, what really made it memorable was getting my four year old on skis for the first time. She got in 8 days and progressed to riding the chairlift by Day 8. Most importantly is that she's looking forward to next season already!
