Today was 18. If I skied up in VT for the day and am now going out for some night runs how does that count?

17, today was 10 in a row
I haven't taken a day off yet since my last post so 23 now I guess. Many of these days are just 4 hour chunks and to me that counts...I mean there's no way im skiing 830-4 everyday right now, the skiing in Tahoe is not all that great yet. I'm starting a job tomorrow, but my shifts don't start til 2pm so that will leave my days free and clear if I choose to get out. I see a lot of 3 or four hours lap pre work sessions in my future.

That's exactly what I'm doing now. I work 2PM to 10PM so I get 2-3 hours in before work.

You suck too btw :p

snoseek and skiNEwhere, I hate you both.

Another night session at Sundown last night puts me up to 7. Can't really complain about that being it's only mid December and I'm an hour way from the closest hill.

I'm at 4, was going to have 6 as of Sunday but 99% sure it won't happen. I'm slightly in a quandary though. Will have several opportunities to go over the holidays but not into the holiday crowds. Thinking NYE/NY's will be the next time I ski. Was tempted to go this morning but have too many other things I need to get done. Once NY's is over it will be full on at least till Presidents weekend.

BTW What constitutes a day on snow? At the home bump I can get in almost 15 laps in 2 hours. I sometimes go up and yo-yo for those 2 hours and get quite the work out (particularly when the bumps are good) and be home by noon. To me that's a day on the snow regardless of the amount of time.

A day on snow is a day on snow even if you only get a few runs in. If I'm out there for an hour before work, I count it. Waiting for my local hill to adjust their hours to mornings so I can get out there during the weekdays I don't have off.

I don't want to talk about it. But at least I'm going to Mexico for a week. Hopefully I'll be the comeback kid by April.

I have 4 days in so far. Which is fewer than I'd like, but pretty respectable for Nov/Dec.

I am at the same, sadly! Plan was to ski Gunstock Tuesday night which fell through and Pico tomorrow and that is not happening! Made alternative plans for today and the fam is not on board! Wanted to have ten days in by 1/1 but not looking good! So far not liking the start! Seems like every year starts with about 6-7 day prior to 1/1! Need to break that trend!
