I'm up to 17... I feel like with a full time job and the winter we've been having I'm just fine with that. Aiming for 40, which should be reachable.



Not bad for living in CT I suppose.

i thought skiing was life...
:D

Life is what happens in between skiing....

I wish I could afford a skiing life. I'm not a good enough skier to earn an income though.


Besides, I can't seem to rid myself of my taste for money, good food, fast cars, mountain biking and bourbon.

Hey, hey. Speak for yourself. My existance is anything but meager.




I love me. :dunce:



Besides, every time I run through the silky smooth six gears being pulled along hastily by the twin boosted engine.... oh yeah, it's worth it.


To me anyway.

You "big numbers" guys kill me. More power to you.
No point kidding anyone. I'm happy if I:
a) Get out at all before 1/1.
b) Get in 10 total day trips.
c) Get in one overnighter with the family.

Life has a way of getting in the way....
Take a run for me!
I feel your pain...except for two days in a row over vacation week, I've only been out once every couple of weeks since Thanksgiving...

It would be an incredible feat for me to get over 20 days in a season, much less 30 or more.

I'm at a whopping 10 (less than half where I was last season). It was a heck of an early season, but not heading in the right direction lately :cry:

Yesterday was my 12th day out this season. I'm reasonably satisfied with the number of days out so far (although there could always be more). :D

I'm hoping for 30-35 days total this season so I'm in pretty good shape so far.

This recent lousy weather concerns me though. :-? I had planned to get quite a few days in between now and the end of January. That now does not seem as likely. :cry: Hopefully, we'll soon have a weather pattern change similar to last year. Remeber how it snowed last year like a mother@#$% after the third or fourth week of January straight through to early March (with a few exceptions)? :lol:

Let's all do our snow dances!
