| I'm at 16 now, figure I'll get 2-3 more in. Of the 16, 12 were Killington, 3 were Sundown, and 1 was Holiday Valley (Western NY, over Christmas with my family.)
At the start of the season, I probably would have been contempt, but looking back I'm not. Last year (first year back after college,) I only got in 6 times, so it's a decent jump, but nowhere near the amount of skiing that I need to do to get to the level I want to be at. My ability, however, I feel has made a major step forward, mainly with my midseason commitment to actually start paying attention to my bump skiing technique instead of just hacking it.
Goals for next year (probably appropriate for another thread, but...):
50 days, 20 at Sundown, 20 at Kmart, 10 elsewhere.
5 new mountains visited (figure Okemo, Stratton, and Sugarbush, other two I'll figure out later.)
Learn how to do a helicopter; learn how to land a helicopter in the bumps.
Make it past qualifying at the Bear Mountain comp.
And no broken body parts.
