Your Official 2004-2005 Ski Season Breakdown Thread

[jimme]

Kind of a weird season for me. Winter never seemed to really kick in. . .I am still sort of waiting for it. This is despite the fact that we received 6" over the yealy snowfall average.

Opening day at Bobcat was stellar and my only significant powder day. There was a powder night at Jiminy, but it was totally tracked out so I enjoyed the soft snow and mico-bumps. The bright side is that every day was great. Great weather, great conditions. I skied with my old buddies on three trips which helped improve my skills. I want to get at least 15 days per season and have exceeded that goal with 17 {18} days.

Kmart- 1
Okemo- 2
BC Touring- 1
Jiminy Peak- 7 {8}
Bobcat- 2
Gore- 2
Sugarbush- 2

Although I flashed the cash for the membership in SMC, they found out I made my fortune selling crack and wouldn't let me join

Actually, I bribe the patrol with beer and crash at a friend's cabin over in Peru. They're trying to coax me over to the darkside, but so far, not luck.

Right now 40 days, but I'm figuring about 50 by the time I'm done. I hike for turns with the dog when the resorts close down. Between what's still open, post season hiking at resorts and Tuckerman, I'll probably get another 10 days...hopefully more

K-Mart 1
Mt Snow 2
Attitash 1
Sunday River 4
Chamonix 6
Mt Jefferson 3
Sugarloaf 19
Saddleback 1
Big Rock 1
Backcounty 2

Sadly, I never made it to Canada this year

I got a lot of use out of my pass. I paid 350 for the bronze and worked it down to 12 bucks a day.

1)K2trav out of Sugarloaf had well over 100. I thought I saw 124 days recently something like that. He does not post much here. 2) Lostone out of Sugabush has over 100 also. I think Terry has about 70 those are the high totals I can remember. May be more I'm not the most reiliable source.

I skied less than I wanted to. I was plagued by illness and injury this year. I started off the season with pneumonia and ended the season with a torn rotator cuff (FUN!)
My totals
Stowe (2)
Wachusett (5)
Pine Ridge (16 I work there)
Bousquet (1)
Cranmore (2)
Mt. Snow (1)
Okemo (1)

I never did get to use the Magic Passes I won (personally), but I gave them away.

[Lostone]

I'm presently at 125 with 4-6 days left at the Bush.

For those that hate me, there are a few here with more than 10 more than I have.

I feel bad for you.

[Sparky]

It was a very good year for me. I hope to do better next year. If I ever make it to retirement I'm going to get one of those Bronze passes, and live out of my car eatting Power bars and skiing until I collaps into a useless pile in a forgotten part of some resort.
