14 & I think I'm done for the season due to injury 3 weeks ago. For the past 5 years or so I'm usually around 40. Before that as a weekend warrior it was usually around 25 days. Got my K pass down to about $45 a day, usually get it down to around $25 a day. Still have 3 VT. passes left, around $43 a day. A friend said he'd buy them from me. I also have 3 Sugarbush tickets left on my quad pack, about $50 each. I'd have to go to Sugarbush myself because they can only be redeemed by me. They can be used by others but only I can get the tickets. If I can get a few friends together to use them on the same day I might take a ride. It would be hard for me to be there & not be able to ski.

Have you contacted Sugarbush regarding your injury? I would think maybe they'd bend the rules to help you out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just got off the phone with them. They said I could arrange for someone else to redeem the tickets. I'd have to authorize with them a specific person to use the tickets & give that person a copy of my drivers license. I think that would be very doable for me. Better than driving all the way there myself. I think that's a fair solution on Sugarbush's part.

I hear you. I will be up at Magic this weekend so the kids can ski and I will be pulling my hair out lol. I made it to 19 days this year which is very low for me. Freakin ribs!! Theoretically I suppose I may be healed enough sometime in late April but It will almost be like starting over so I will likely pass unless its just stupid good.

Yeah John I feel your pain. My doctor told me I shouldn't ski again this year. Not so much because of a broken ankle. He felt my ski boots would give my ankle enough protection after a few more weeks. He did feel that only two months wouldn't give my knee enough time to heal so that's why he suggested I throw in the towel for this season. I'm pretty sure I'm going to listen to him, no sense doing even more damage. Did you get to use your Smuggs ticket you won here on AZ? I saw in another thread that the other person who won gave his ticket away. Hope you feel better soon. A few years ago I broke a few ribs after falling into a huge icy mogul on Castle Rock. I was skiing again a few weeks later. It was painful a little but not so much when I was skiing. The worst part was when the chair bounced going over a lift tower or bounced going into the unloading area. Superstar chair at K was the worst for this.

Maybe 10 or 12 but they all have been great days, hopefully lots more to come with good soft snow through out the next couple months.

No I didnt get to use it. I was heading to Smuggs the day after the injury so Im begrudgingly giving it to a good friend of mine who has cone through with some good deals for me in the past.

39 so far - with likely another 12 to possibly up to 20 more days presuming no injuries and depending on how deep into April Mount Snow goes

16. I'll finish up better than last years count of 20, but below the year priors 30. I've been real lucky with the quality of days I've had though.
