i just realized that as of this weekend, i have officially blown by my amount of ski days last year and am on pace to more than double that number blowing by my highest number of ski days in a single season. so far i have 17 days out with 19 actual outings (two days of BC combined with a halfday lift ticket). i'm gunning for 35, but may blow by that if the BC is good after the lifts closed. how is everyone else doing so far? the good snow should surely help increase some numbers!

I have skied 15 days this year so far, and I have skied the last 9 days in a row since we got up to Maine last weekend. We plan on skiing at Sugarloaf tommorow before we go home, so that will make 16 days and 10 in a row.
My body sure is sore from all the skiing though.

I had to bail on yesterday I had the kids the, Mrs had to work. They would not go in the snow storm. I'm not sure who their father is then. Can't push kids into to it. 39 days still will get 60. Got all next week off I think. Should be a Sat 27th-march 6 run if all goes well.

we probably crossed paths without knowing it.

i skied 4 runs on the westside in the morning. 2 on Westway and 2 on claire's way. Claire;s was pretty much bulletproof in my estimation and made worse by my skis in dire need of a sharpening. Westway was much better with some freshly blown snow on it. it was really crowded though and i saw a couple of collissions and was nearly part of one. from the chair, I saw a skier on Westway lose a ski and tumble about 100 feet and take out someone stopped off the side. it was spectacular yet sickening. after that, I decided to ski elsewhere. had a good day overall.

i hear the monday was even better. good for you if you got to enjoy it.

I was on telemark skis in the morning and it was very "hard packed"... I switched to snowboard in the afternoon so i could manage the "ice" better...

44 was crowded at times due to instructors bringing their classes down in big groups... :angry: I complained to the correct people about that...

As far as people falling and sliding on 44... It happens ALL the time.. Sucker is steep and wide.. You kinda forget how fast your going... Anyone under "expert/advances" will have problems on it..

I saw a different wreck from sliding on each chair just about... Lots of my patroller friends were just hauling sleds all day up and down...

Ya, yesterday at Hunter was pretty awesome. Got booted off the west side at 3:30 and skied down the front in a total fog. Couldn't see a thing. Called it a day after that.

Missed Sunday, but Saturday was pretty sweet too.
