im rather pissed off that i only have 7 ski days in so far this seson. i was hoping to get close to 100 and im not even on pace for 60! how the hell does this work i should still be boarding even tho i screwed up my ankel pretty bad and i think i broke my collar bone at ju jitsu i think that my DR. is a massive Ahole for not letting me to boaring its only a broken bone and a dislocated ankel. i should be allowed to go boarding? is anybody ealse having this problem this year? not skiing/boarding as much as they hoped?

i have been side lined by an injury since december 10th. i can't ski until at least march and likely will be sticking to the easy slopes when i do. and you know what? i am not pissed, it could have been worse. i think you should just listen to the docs orders and take a chill pill, your health is more important than a high quantity of ski days, the slopes will still be there when you get better. and if you don't think about it like that, you'll drive yourself mad ;)

I'm at 25 days I believe. The Az ski team nights have helped my count a bit. 70 is my goal also. K2trav and Lostone rule this game. Hey Terry.

I'm at 19 and a little ahead of where I thought I'd be. Hoping for 60 days this season.

I voted "yes" despite only getting 8 days in so far. A few of them were high-quality days, and were enough to satisfy me a bit. I'm now on a hiatus, but hope to get out again starting sometime in February. Got 25 in last year; may get in 12-15 this year...

We pumped out two kids in the last 2 years so my days have been limited for 2 seasons now. That'll change next year though. tomorrow will be 4 for me.

I have 3 young boys, I know how you feel. The payback comes when you get them skiing...then you'll ski more than you imagined possible.

My daughter and the new baby share a due date - Jan. 21. My daughter was 5 days early...

1/3 was my last day out.

I have 6 days in (3 included powder skiing) so not too bad so far. Speaking of expecting children and skiing, I was skiing at Hunter when my wife's water broke (talk about timing) :eek:

She actually told me to keep on skiing (god what a woman) since she was not having strong conractions yet. She wound up having our baby at about 10:30pm that night, so I was back in plenty of time. Our son was about one month early, so the ski trip was not planned poorly, perhaps my son just wanted to start skiing at an early age :wink:

big nummers

You "big numbers" guys kill me. More power to you.
No point kidding anyone. I'm happy if I:
a) Get out at all before 1/1.
b) Get in 10 total day trips.
c) Get in one overnighter with the family.

Life has a way of getting in the way....
Take a run for me!
