Most likely calling it quits at 19 lift served days, but I'm going to call it an even 20 with my day in the NJ backcountry.

Inched my way up to 39.

28 @ Killington
3 @ Sugarbush
3 @ Stowe
2 @ Pico
1 @ Bromley
1 @ Catamount
1 @ Middlebury

Skipped about a 1/2 dozen days while in VT. Some because of weather (too cold or rain) & I didn't ski the weekend of the BMMC because my non-skiing wife was with me so we did other things. I'm not done yet, I'll get 40+ before it's over. Not bad for a flatlander from Brooklyn.

Nick, since the season is just about over, you should add a poll option to this thread

Sadly only 17. Having a toddler made weekend getaways really difficult but on a positive note I did ski at 11 different mountains and probably only spent 300 dollars on lift tickets all season. Hoping to get one more day at Killington and a weekend at Tuckerman.

We are at 34! After such a great weekend at Cannon and Jay Peak this past weekend I almost want it to end on that note. However, my wife wants to head to Killington on Saturday so we will march into May because she is also determined to ski Mother's Day. My guess - we will end at 37.

I can't believe in a few short years, I went from not counting the relatively few <10 days (because I didn't care), to a season so long that I have trouble keeping count!

Just the "blocks" of multi-day trips are over 40! (2 x 2 weeks in Colorado ==> 29 days! + the trips to northern VT: ~ 8-9 days)

Add the 5 or 6 days of xc skiing, 8~10 days teaching, it's well over 50! (though to be honest, I don't feel like counting the teaching days, I really didn't get much 'real' skiing done in those)

And I seem to recall 1 or 2 single day trip going to the Cat's.

Not to mention the season isn't entirely over yet. There's the possibility of a day or two here and there (K, Jay, Tux)

So the "official answer" is, I don't really know how many days... it's over 50, or maybe 60?

Today was day 50 for the season for me . Nice spring conditions at Sugarbush - it might be the last "good" day for the season as there were around 20 trails open with 50-60 degree temperatures and sunshine. The weather is not going to cooperate over the next few days and the open trail count will diminish.

51 after K this past weekend. Got in some of the last lift served runs in the Canyon.

Might get a day or 2 more in May, or I might be done. Depends on weather.

We are stuck on 34 and though we planned on skiing this weekend - people have invited us to events that are getting in the way. Adult birthdays are overrated - who cares if someone turns 40! Seems to be more of a reason to have a party then it is about turning 40! My point is the ski season is nearing its end - doesn't anyone get that?
