What mountains/resorts did you ski (or board) this past season?

Its been a tremendous season for this married father of two young girls!!!!

I skied more than any previous year since my early 20's. All total I skied 20-30 times...lost track of all of them since my home mountain is only 20 minutes away.

My older daughter who is 7 got her old man (37 years young!!) out of the house and onto the slopes again in earnest. I really had a fabulous time bonding with her. I only hope it continues with her and her younger sister!

OK here's my list:

Mountain Creek, NJ (season pass/home mountain)
Okemo
Elk Mountain, PA
Stowe
Jay Peak
Hunter

Going to try for Tremblant or out west (Steamboat or Tahoe/Utah) next year with the family. Since my wife does not ski, it will take MUCH convincing on my part!!!

On another note this site is AWESOME! Talking and reading skiing on a daily basis really keeps the fire burning. Kudos to Greg, etc. on a great job!!

Thanks,

Marc

Sunday River
Mount Snow
Stratton
Wachusett
Killington
Loon

As far as the day count goes, I have no idea. All I do know is that I haven't been home on a weekend since New Years and that I've been at Wachusett at least once a week during the midweek since they opened in November.

If I had to guess, 30+? This number pales to compare to my college days of 90-100+. Sigh...

Yep, that's how it was for me when my daughter's 1st grade offered a lesson package. Still going "strong" 5 years later at (ugh) 47. Watching her "get it" is so rewarding in its own right.

Here's my season, not a very impressive total but all good days so far, and all comps, bogos, specials or eBay deals

Ragged - 3
Cannon - 2
Pat's - 3 (special thanks to smallberries!)
Bretton Woods - 1
Loon - 1 (this coming Sunday!)

Sugarbush, MRG, Whiteface, Gore, Greek Peak, Song Mountain, Snow Ridge.

Plus Central NY backcountry excursions.

Oh, and that sublime heli-skiing week with Suzy Chapstick....oh, wait, think I woke up from that one with my wife standing over the bed holding a shovel and saying something about the driveway....
