I'm calling the season at 35 days. Aside from the year I blew my knee, that's the lowest in the last 8 years, maybe.

Day 55 yesterday at Kmart, and 56 today with a hike up little Pico. At only about 600 vertical I feel that it doesn't really count. It was snowing at the top!

That's a wrap.

Not sure if it's the most days I ever skied in one season but it's close.

I wound up at 30 which is the lowest I can remember in a long time but it was a very busy year for me work wise plus I hurt my knee which curtailed the number a bit.

Damn you beat me with my average cost being $22.71, driven up primarily due to late season skiing where deals were far and few between. Still got decent deals but it cost more than my average. Take the last three visits out and my average was 21.91 - you still won! So... You ended early - relatively speaking.

On another note - hope to make it to Black Mountain of ME next year.

This is my 3rd yr tracking cost/visit. Have gone $29.19 (24 days), $20.09 (16), $21.79 (25) with a 3 yr average of $24.10/visit.
BMOM is great---we caught it after a 12" snowfall and everything was wide open and fresh lines. They have some fun gladed terrain the locals are constantly expanding.
It will likely be an annual tradition for us to stop at BMOM on the Friday during AZ Summit wknd. $15 tickets sure helps that cost/visit average!

I am really disappointed with myself for not getting to 70. I could have done it if I have chased snow in May, skied the two days I skipped due to a hangover and rain, or just manned up in general.

If we are figuring cost per visit I'll break it down two ways. For the 9 days I skied at areas I had to buy a lift ticket my average cost was $33.35. This average was helped considerably by one day at Mt. Ellen (Sugarbush) only costing $6.50 for a ticket. Otherwise that average would be a little over $40. The most expensive ticket was one day at Stowe costing $46.

For the 34 days I skied at the area(s) I have a pass to my daily cost came out to $13.35.

Went for a tour this morning and put the summer wax on the board thereafter.

Wyoming had a decent April and May for real snow and I was able to tack on 15 more days than I was expecting to (I usually pass on hiking for spring conditions).

Final tally: 141 days, a new personal best by 3 or 4 or so.

I think I might go quality of quantity next year, a lot of these were marginal or just a couple runs just to say I did it.

At A-Basin yesterday I talked to a guy on the lift with me, who was probably in his mid 50's, and he stated he was calling it for the season after that day, which was day 200 for him.

I was taken aback a little so I straight up asked him " are you yanking my chain" and he said he wasn't, he's gotten out almost everyday this season.

So assuming this is true.....WOW

The conditions at A-basin yesterday definitely fell into the category of "Any skiing is better than none at all"

It was kind of rainy, then "dippin dots" snow, then thunder and lightning which closed the mountain for half an hour. Pali was closed for the year on Tuesday, the upper and lower east wall were closed, along with Zuma bowl. Snow was very slow and slushy.
