I may be out at 2am tonight. I am going to ride the Crotched Rocket before the suck arrives!

Good idea! Midnight madness - ski til 3 am! Freezing rain from 2am - 5 am. Either way adds to meet expectations!

From know until mid April it is my goal to ski every weekend both days plus a few extra midweeks here and there!

If you start at 11 and go past midnight does that count as skiing 2 days?

I am way down on number of days but what days I have skied have been fantastic conditions. Had 3 or 4 good powder days, a couple of spring skiing days and last weekend was nice packed powder mid winter conditions. Not good today but it looks like tomorrow will be spring skiing again. A little hiccup in the season but it will get better again soon.

Well Gunstock is out due to freezing rain - this sucks! This is not helping expectations! Now only one day ahead of last year! I wanted to be three ahead at this point!

My wife looks at me strange and shakes her head when I say how many days I ski. She asks "Why do you count them? Are you in some kind of contest to when a major award?" I just give her the dumb guy look and hang my head and walk away...

My wife actually ends up skiing almost the same number of days! In fact she is generally the one to ask where are going over the weekend! I track, she plans! However, I have been having trouble getting out on days like today!

My wife skis about 3/4 of the days I do and never complains when we are taking a day to go skiing. But I both plan and track
