I'm up to 29 and hoping to get one more spring day at Mount Snow, and if I can make it work, a day a Tuckerman as well.

Anyone been up to Tucks yet? How are the conditions? When should I try to go?

Closing day at Mount Snow yesterday was #58 for me this season - just got clearance from my wife to head up to Killington next Saturday for #59 then that will REALLY get me thinking about bringing my boots with me when I do a quick out and back to pick up my daughter and one of her friends from ski camp at Mount Hood in mid July! :)

I haven't had a 60 day season since the 80's and its so tantilizingly close that I think I might take a few measures that to anyone but some of us ravenous snow sliding fans on AZ would seem CRAZY!! :lol:

Well at 32 and it is looking like 37 or 38 will be our final number based on current plans. Our goal was 40 but we fell short in part due to family events, flu, rain and now kids sports! I guess shit happens and you have to live your life - but why is it so hard to get to 40? This begs a question that will now become a new thread.

I still have no idea. But I'm going on 4 months now. so if I had 3 days a week, it'd be about 48.

these are certainly not full days. I count a skin up and1 run down as a ski day. :daffy:

How the heck does someone get to skiing over 50 days in a single season? Work nights? Work at a Ski Area? Student? Retired? There has to be a strategy to getting there?

To those over 50 days in - :beer:

How do you do it?!

I have skied 47 days so far this season and should end over 50 days. I am a passholder at Sugarbush so I start skiing weekends when the mountain opens in November. I ski two days most every weekend, take a few 3 day weekends and take additional days over the Christmas and February vacations with my family. My family also skied on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years day as we celebrate our holidays in VT. Being a passholder, I have also skied on a few marginal days when many other people would not spend money on a lift ticket. I am fortunate that my entire family has a passion for skiing and it's what we do in the winter.

I reached 49 days Wednesday at Loon. Tuesday and Wednesday at Killington should be days 50 and 51. Stlll aiming for 60. I am off May 2-11. I hope someone runs daily, or it may be time for a trip to Abasin.

I earned some turns this morning at Mount Snow via a hike to the top of Canyon quad and then one last run down Canyon.

Today was my 60th day this season of clicking into the bindings and getting some turns :)

I think I'm done. And If so I can't complain! 60 days, 15 separate ski areas, 1,017,568 vertical feet and 1109.7 miles covered :)
