My youngest will start next season right around the time she turns 3. I've skied more since I had kids than I did before they were born, mostly due to rediscovering night skiing and having a rad little hill right down the road. My wife is one patient ski widow though. I keep reminding her that if the kids get hooked, her winter weekends may be relatively kid-free in a few years. I'm hoping she decides to tag along sometimes though.

The wife got 5 days in. I wish it was more but she def. wanted to hang back with our son. Getting her out for day 1 was tough. After Sugarbush she wants to put off having a second child until after the upcoming ski season. I love her.

All right since I now know for a fact that I'm done I will join this thread. I was going to get a couple more days in late June and early July but I got addicted to mountain biking and lost all urges to drive 3 hours to ski crappy conditions.

I broke my days up into 3 categories EC touring, EC lift served, and my west coast trip.

EC Touring:
Chic Chocs: 11
Mt. Washington: 11
Sugarbush: 2
Wachusett: 2
Mad River Glen: 1
Killington: 1
Cardigan: 1
Big Jay: 1
Jay Peak: 1
Tenney: 1
Moosilakee: 1

33 days


EC Lift Served:
Wachusett: 11
Mad River Glen: 6
Wildcat: 4
Cannon: 3
Burke: 2
Mt. Snow: 1
Hunter: 1
Sugarbush: 1

29 days


Western Trip:
Mt. Baker: 6
Crystal Mtn: 2

8 days




Total days: 70
