2008-09 Ski Season Breakdown Thread

9! And savored every second of each day out. Best part was watching my three-year old son make his first turns.

46 all at bleu except for a few at mt snow and 1 at jack frost - the economy and coaching yute hockey sorta squashed the travel plans this year... most ever days though and looking forward to skiing even more next year. hey rambo and campcbgp - looking forward to some gp days next year as hope lake looks like its moving along pretty good!

 

[Charlie Schuessler]

I was only able to get out twenty-nine days this past season... too many other distractions...

 

[Madroch]

I came in at 39-- 37 at good ole Sundown, 1 at SB and 1 at Stowe. Had planned to do more VT and some NH, but didn't work out-- largely the kids lost a little interest late season when their schedules actually freed up a bit permitting migration north.

30, I was shooting for my age 29 so glad I came in above that...

14 downhill and 21 x-c. what's strange is 7 in vt (snow, magic, bromley, killington, mrg, stowe, pico); 6 in NH (Brettonwoods 2X, Wildcat 2X, Crotched, Black) where we normally ski 90% of our days - none at cannon which is usually 2 or 3; & 1 day at sugarloaf. best days were Pico, Stowe or Sugarloaf. Maybe 1 to 3 more days on mt. washington. finally got out regularly on the skate skis and have found this to be a great way to stay in shape and tons of fun too!

I wanted 80 lift serviced. That looks tough. I will have over 80 with hiking. 100, way to go.

Bob, we have faith in you. A day skied is a day skied in my book. I know you have different standards and that's cool. Like I told Terry, if you need someone to hike with to reach a goal, I'm game. My damned toes may fall off by the time I'm done skiing, but at least I'll have had fun! :flag:

Trying to make it in time for Sat. Depends on kids track meet. Sunday is a given at well as Monday. Then Sat and Sunday maybe Friday next week.. I need to make it this Sat or a week from Friday and I will have my 80 days lift serviced.

I once knew a man from Nantucket...let's just say the stories about him were greatly exaggerated.

132 ... most at Hunter with one or more days spent at Gore, Mt. Snow, Stratton, Pico, Killington, Mad River Glen, Smugglers Notch and Jay Peak ... yes, it's been a great season

I count my ski days by how many kegs I drink in my yard.........although it is not 132 I plan to drink more next year.

Did he post on Epicski?

 

[jerryg]

Day 100 was today for me. I think Terry 98 today and we both plan a couple of days at The Loaf next weekend with Bobr, Snowmonster, and some others from here and SR!

 

[tirolerpeter]

I am at 87 days. Snowbird is still open so I am hoping to add a few more. I will be out of town for around 5 - 7 days, but I should still be able to grab a couple more when I get back to UT.

I should also note that this was my longest season to date. I got started on 10/29, the earliest I've started, and ended on 4/26, the latest I've gone.

Great season all around! :beer:
