Only managed around 20 days but it was 20 days of pure goodness.
4 in alta
10 at whiteface
6 or so at belleayre.

Not bad for two broke law students.

I lost count after 2 or 3 I think I have at least 30 though, counting all my short night sessions at Sundown. I think I only paid out $50 or $60 for lift tickets the whole season. I'm sad that my season seems to be over, but I did end it on a really good note so it's not too bad...

 

[bvibert]

Same with my wife severine. Maybe Brian and I can watch the kids in the Sundown lodge while the ladies make some turns? ;-)

Thanks for volunteering me...

My final breakdown for the year:

12/8- Wachusett: Opening day... scraped Conifer
12/9- Wachusett: Added a scraped Look Ma and Challenger
12/12- Wachusett: Plenty of manmade powder to go around... good trails
12/15- Wachusett: Spring in December
12/18- Wachusett: Conifer with maybe 4" left on it... everything else closed
12/28- Stratton: Overpriced, overcrowded, scraped trails... but at least it was a day up north
1/11- Wachusett: Reopening day... Good Conifer
1/12- Wachusett: First day of ski club... decent Conifer
1/18- Wachusett: 10th and Smith FINALLY open... and the 3 summit trails were great
1/19- Wachusett: Crowded out the ass... lines 20+ minutes
1/25- Wachusett: The day the cold started... 18 to 3 in about 4 hours... Balance Rock opened
1/26- Wachusett: My coldest day ever... -15 at the summit... manmade was AMAZING
1/30- Wachusett: Park opened... it was decent but the place was very crowded
2/2- Wachusett: Powder for the 2nd half of the day... bumps back on 10th and AWESOME
2/7- Wachusett: Another cold and windy day, but the trails were in awesome shape
2/9- Wachusett: Still cold, crowds down
2/11- Sugarbush: Back to my favorite area... great day on the natural trails (though thin)
2/12- Mad River Glen: Mini powder day (5")... great snow
2/16- Wachusett: Surprisingly small crowds after 12" of new snow 2 days before
2/22- Berkshire East: Powder 2nd half of day... Liftline and Minnie Dole were awesome
2/23- Wachusett: 24 hours of skiing... fun in the Ralph's woods until ski patrol caught me
3/8- Wachusett: 0 degrees but great conditions
3/13- Wachusett: Spring skiing... shorts till the sun went down
3/17- Stowe: 18" new... but the party was just getting started
3/18- Stowe: 3' total from the storm... awesome glades and front four
3/22- Wachusett: Decent day, but Stowe spoiled me
3/25- Killington: A few new inches... Northstar rocked... good competition on OL
3/26- Pico: 1/2 day... Nice Pike and Summit Glades... groomers were nice too
3/26- Killington: 1/2 day... Pouring rain almost the whole time
3/27- Killington: Very foggy besides a sunny Bear
4/1- Wachusett: Closing day... pond skimming plus awesome spring bumps on 10th
4/5- Mount Snow: Powder day to end the season... reserved Ripcord and One More Time were AMAZING

So, it was an awesome 2nd half to the season... can't wait for next year. This year was over too quick.

 

[gladerider]

I got 16. That's about my average.

Courchevel 5
Blue Mt. 1
Okemo 3
Mt. Snow 3
Whiteface 2
Stowe 2

 

[ccskier]

I'll be the lone "0" in your poll. Growing a baby=no skiing. Next season... as long as I can find someone to watch the kids.

I also had a baby mid January, still skied about 30 or so day. We were home for the birth weekend and the following then we were back. Grandmothers in VT love to se their new Grand children and it gets me up there. Also got 4 days in CO, Vail, Breck, Steamboat and Copper. This is one of my lower days/season. Had many great powder days and a great trip out west. Since I have a pass At Jay I only ventured to Stowe for two other days. Still waiting for some ''spring'' skiing.

 

[aveski2000]

First ski season for me in about 10 years. 18 days so far. About $30 a day without a season ticket. It's great to be back into it.

[JimG.]

Hit day 50 on 4/5...nothing like hitting that milestone on an epic April powder day!

Up to 52...still have a few more days planned.

 

[MadPadraic]

In the 20-30 range, but many have been prime prime days. Would be higher if I had a wicked small car from Europe. Next year will be fewer.

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

51 as of today. I'm thinkin probably around 55.

 

[MrMagic]

36 after this weekend going for 40.

 

[andyzee]

OK. I'm at 41, plan on getting some more in, but doubt if it'll be over 50

 

[loafer89]

I am up to 36, and I might make 40 days.

still not nearly enough but quality has made up for lack of quantity.

 

[Ski Diva]

Hit 51 on Friday (4/13) -- not bad for a year with a crappy early season. Hoped to make 52 today, but all we're getting is wind driven rain. Oh well.

 

[skijay]

I am either done for the season or may go to Jiminy as I did not go yet this season and they look to be open this coming Saturday.

I managed 21 days:

Butternut - 5 times. I just about broke even on the season's pass.
12/10, 12/31, 1/28, 3/4 and 3/24

Sundown - nite skiing - 1/4

Pico - 1/20

Quebec skiing - Bellevue 2/24, Orford 2/25 and Montjoye 2/26

Mount Snow - 11 times. Pass purchase was well worth it.
12/17, 12/21, 1/6, 2/3, 2/19, 3/3, 3/10, 3/18, 3/31, 4/7 and 4/14
