15 days. And everyone a powder day!!!

3 days at Stowe/Mt. Mansfield before Christmas. 8 days at Jackson (mostly outside the gates) and 2 days up on Teton Pass (trip report w/videos Late Jackson, Jan.19-29 ). Then 2 more days at Stowe/Mt. Mansfield.

Not quite as much as I had been aiming for but I'll take quality anytime.

28 days...had hoped for 30+ but I'll take the 28. Added 9 new mountains this year and 2 new states so it's all good!

for me, a record 103 days to date and a smile that'll carry me through to next season ... picked up a pair of Metron B5's for my birthday in December that opened up a whole new ski world ... the confidence on these boards allowed me to ski in a way that I haven't been able to do and took me to places I dared not go before ... in doing so, there have been numerous core shots and I need another new pair for next season ... without midweek skiing the past two weeks, my body is recovering yet oddly jonesing for more abuse ... and yes D, retirement agrees with me very much; I did the time so every day is now mine

Belleayre - 6
Gore - 2
Hunter - 86
Mountain Creek - 1
MRG - 1
Mt. Snow - 4
Stratton - 1
Sugarbush - 2

I try to keep as much track as possible about my season, and it seems to work pretty well with this handy dandy excel spreadsheet. I still want to get out for some earned turns before I really call the season finished, but I'm not sure yet how well that will work.

Wow and I thought the little spreadsheet I have just keeping track of how many days and where I ski was anal. This takes it all to a new level!! 8-P

Sadly... He's a piker!

On his side, he's skied a bunch more places than I had, this year. I used to have columns for Sugarbush, Smuggs and Other. I would use my comment column to say where other was. Since I bought the condo at Sugarbush, the other columns are seldom used.

He had the conditions for every day. I only list outstanding conditions, as I seldom enter my data every day. It is stored on my watch, and every 2-7 days or so, I go thru and enter the data into the spreadsheet. At that time, I seldom remember which day was which.

And outstanding days can be outstandingly good or outstandingly bad. It can also mention who I skied with or anything else that I can remember.

Added to my data, from my watch is the time out. That also means I have Max time / day. I could have had Min and average time, but I'd need to set up another calculated column.

If I ride Slidebrook lift, it goes up and down. I have to stop the watch before getting on, so it won't show that vertical as my skiing total. This means I have a minimum time of 10 minutes,which was the time until I got on the lift, but much less than my shortest day.

Added to my spreadsheet, is cost data. The name of the sheet is Cost of Skiing. It was started to see how much I saved by having a pass. I have a column for the retail cost. I add everything I buy for skiing, and divide that by the number of days. After I bought my condo, I also started tracking the cost per day with the amortized cost of the condo.

Also added to my sheet is, which ski I used, the amount of days that ski was out, the cost of that ski and (of course) the cost per day. I also keep track of my tuning pass, stating which ski went in which day, and how many days since last it was tuned. That also gives me the amount of days each pair of skis has been used.

Like I say... He's a piker!

But as you think I really need to get out more...

Well, I'm finished for the season. I got in a banner 146 days. I had a couple days where I wondered why I was out. I had some fantastic days, where I couldn't believe more people weren't competing for that great snow.

GrilledSteezeSandwich · May 10, 2008, 8:15 AM

Next season I think I'm going to stop keeping track of days, runs and vertical...lol

prisnah · May 11, 2008, 2:34 PM

I'm at about 85.....should end up somewhere around 90+.

**bvibert** · May 29, 2008, 2:13 PM

I have no idea how many days I got in, but I had a pretty good season over all.

I got to hit some new areas, and some old favorites. I skied with good ski buddies and met a bunch of new ones. I skied in some pow and in some corn. Did my first ever competition on skis, a bump comp.

mattchuck2 · May 30, 2008, 8:29 PM

Somewhere above 50 days for me . . . 4 Whiteface, 2 Sugarloaf, 2 Smugg's (which I had no idea was so sick), 2 Holiday Valley, 1 West, 1 Jiminy, and somewhere between 40 and 50 days at Gore.

About average for me. Three problems with the season: It went by too fast, I didn't get any BC in (did some slackcountry, but that doesn't count), and I didn't get out west (for the second straight year). I'm DEFINITELY going to try to get out there next year, but I have to buy new Alpine Boots, New Alpine skis, and New Tele Skis. Hopefully, I can save up enough money between now and the fall to make that happen (and get some decent pro form deals).

The March/April part of the season went by particulary fast . . . I guess I need to take even more days off next year.
