How many days so far? (2015-2016 season)

[Scruffy]

30, and likely done now. Not too bad for this season, but certainly lower than most seasons.

 

[njdiver85]

50 Days, which is only a few less than what I've managed over the last few years. Having a kid in a race program pretty much guarantees a lot of ski days. Time to dust off the scuba gear.

74

 

[Bostonian]

looks like I will end the year with 16... 4 shy of my annual goal of 20, with the dumb injury.

 

[skiNEwhere]

38 days and almost 700,000 vertical feet. Both stats are behind my numbers from last year. Shooting for 50 days and 1 million feet of vert.

Awesome, warm and sunny, super soft corn. Plenty of bare patches and stuff poking through, but a fun time. My dog made it up (and down) Lobster Claw.

Awesome. I'm jealous. Maybe I'll see if I can get someone to do it with me this season. Did you do it in ski boots or snowboard boots? Crampons or anything else needed? Thanks in advance!

I see lots of combo passes that include days in Australia and New Zealand...thanks but no thanks.

Are there any passes that includes days in Europe?

Edit: this is in the wrong thread.

Nice stats!

Skis. I barebooted up just fine given the soft snow. Others had crampons and/or ice ax, but many others bareboots as well. If the surface was firmer they'd be more necessary.

76. Only two more days of lift served to go, then the hiking begins in earnest.

 

[deadheadskier]

Jackson closes April 3rd????

Any efforts made to change this relationship with the USFS?

When does Targee close?

 

[abc]

25, give or take.

I still have at least 2 more, if not 3 in the plan. Mini-vacation in 2 weeks.


[EDIT] Forgot to count the 2 days in Stowe. So it's 27 so far. Now I feel a stronger motivation to make that mini-vacation to be a 3 day, to make an even 30 days for the season.

 

[mbedle]

24 days and finished up the season on Thursday.

 

[wtcobb]

I don't think I can call what I did today at Burke skiing. Toured about halfway up the glaciated disaster before saying "screw it" and picking my way down. I'd have taken pictures but they'd be considered indecent. Yuck.

Telluride closes tomorrow as well. I don't think it's that hard to work with USFS and get an extension, this is used as an excuse. The bottom line is that the general public isn't interested in skiing come spring time. The further you get away from a major population base, the harder it is to turn a profit when the only people skiing are season pass holders. That's my theory anyways.

I get that it's not a money maker for the destination resorts to remain open this time of year. I still think it would be a nice gesture to the locals to run a couple lifts a few more weeks even it was a shortened schedule. A lot of people working in local businesses supporting the resorts have limited time to ski during peak season, so getting some days in during April would be a nice " bonus" before heading into the long spring off season.

 

[snoseek]

Weve got 15 days left to ski here and tons of base. I would easily trade all the skiing up until mid december for more time in the spring. Still hoping for a weeks extension but just not sure its gonna happen

41 tomorrow at Mt Snow. 1 Cannon, 2 Loon, 3 SR, and 1 Loaf still planned, if the snow holds out. Hopeful for 2 to 3 K days on Sup to hit 50.
