How many Ski Days do you plan to get in for the 2015 - 2016 season?

Me, I hope to get in 30 - 58 ski days.

Last year, I got in my most at 52.
They were at Greek Peak, Elk Mountain, Snow Ridge, Gore, Hunter and Killington.

I've got a 7 month old son. If I hit 25 I'll be psyched. I'd say high teens is more realistic.

Last year was 58, a record. This year I have a different job that's M-F 9-5 so I'll have to ski weekends like a regular schmuck. Hoping for 40, bare minimum is 30.

Given my location it is all about quality for me. If I hit 20 days and 12-14 of them are 4"+ fresh days with 100% of terrain open it is a great year. I'll take 1 day at Berkshire East with 6" of snow over 10 early days at K lapping The Ridge, Snowdon, and SS.

Vibes for the I70 weekend shitshow that will entail.

Shooting for 100 as always. Usually make it by a wide margin.

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
55-60, if you include teaching days. Probably 25-30 days teaching at Thunder Ridge, 6 or 7 at Mohawk, 5 at Mount Snow, 2 Okemo's, Catamount's. Single days at Butternut, Killington, Jiminy Peak, maybe Sunapee. New mountain for the year...after being on the radar for 2 seasons... wll hopefully be Berkshire East. Also on the radar is Plattekill and Sundown.

I add this all up and its only 50ish days :grin:... I'll get some extra in lol

I've stated to alter my thinking a little bit Its pretty unlikely that I'll get as many days as I got last year.

Last year I was able to get 1.1 million vertical feet in 58 days, which comes out to roughly 19k per visit. If I can come close to that, I'll call it a win.
