100 days in 2009 with only one week of vacation time. Lots of night skiing and spring skinning to get that high. Usually around 60 or so lately.

We got in 40 last year, and that was with some days missed due to illness. We're aiming for 50+ this year. Let's hope mother nature cooperates!

Probably 25. It's hard to stay up long enough to get more than a run or two in when you work 8pm to 8am.

56 days in 2014/2015

Last year I got in way more Fat biking days than skiing days.
My attitude was ski when the snow was good, bike when it wasn't. We had a lot of thaws followed by a deep freeze which made for great fat biking weather.

56 last year, my season was from 10/28- 6/1. Amazing that you can ski for 7 full months of the year in the East. I normally don't count days, but logged them faithfully in the thread last year. My buddy Dick counts, when we first met he had 80 +. He skied more than me during that season, but he stopped in April. I figure we we're about even counting my Spring weekends at K. That was probably my highest.

Toasted a new pair of RTM 84's that year. They were replaced under warranty. Got two seasons out of the replacements. Bought a new pair of Blizzard Brahmas end of last season. Getting excited to try them out. Hoping to get three years out of them. Sure they'll be tired after 150 days with 240lbs on them.

My max was 105 days 4 seasons ago, after being laid off at the most opportunistic time. This included starting my season at K in October, and finishing up Sept first at Timberline Oregon. Average 50-60 days ever since, around 30 for many years before that season.

50 in 1976, 45 in 2015. 98% were full, recreational ski days. 39 years between 1st and 2nd best seasons:razz:
Hoping to fully retire in a couple years and go for the record!

For me, since 1987 I have had anywhere from 50 to 65 days every year. There were two years, 1990 and 1991 where I had over 100 because I was an unemployed ski bum.

In between college and grad school I lived in Aspen. Skied 100 days that year. But that was 25+ years ago. Now, it's usually high teens and I'm pumped if I get in 20.

45. That was skiing two days a weekend for just about the entire season. We've scaled back a bit. Our place isn't on the mountain, so it became a lot of back and forth driving. Quality over quantity.
