I forgot to add Haystack, raced there at the 1989 Eastern Junior Championships, so that is now 53 resorts.

Billski, I hope you catch up to me, I'm looking to add every year, I was hoping to add Mt. Orford this year, but it didn't work out. As for what I would like to add:

1. Saddleback
2. Sugarloaf
3. Orford
4. Squaw, Alpine, Kirkwood
5. Alagna
6. La Grave
7. Silverton, CO
8. Red Mtn.

That's a few. I think I can get a couple of those next year if things work out, and the top of that list is Alagna, its sick, ridiculous sick. About 7k vert. a couple of trams, one groomed run, all backcountry.

that is a pretty awsome list, la grave looks so sick, i read some article about it last year.
For my list of what i want to try is
East- MRG, magic, le massif and thats about it
West- Silverton, red mtn., mammoth, kirkwood sqauw valley and kickin horse

Ugh, I keep forgetting some areas, so I need to add Mountain Creek and also Hidden Valley. So that's now 54 places. It could be 53 places if you don't want to count Teton Backcountry as a place, and I just realized I counted Whistler/Blackcomb as two, I really should only count it as one. So for now, as far as I can remember, I am at 54 places in 31 years.

Impressive. You should be a travel writer! Over how many (productive) years was this accomplished?

I made most of the PA and VT trips between the ages of 8 and 18, I raced then, so I got to see and race at a lot of places. The other areas are pretty much from age 16 on, and I'm 33 now so you do the math. I like to check out one or two new places a year, I had plans to go to Orford and Sugarbush but it didn't work out. I was thinking of doing Sugarloaf and Saddleback, but it was just too far. It definitely is not a conscious thing to add to a "list" I've never even made such a list til now or even thought about it. It is conscious though to try to ski as much as possible and go to new places. I'll hopefully do Alagna next year and also a trip to BC to do some touring, I've never done it before, but I think it would be fun to skin up and ski down, earn your turns for a few days. There are guide services/lodges out there that you can do that at. Sure I could do heli or snowcat, but I just think this might be more of an experience.

Yes, but also lots of :D :D :D :D :D

Honestly for me, the love of snow comes first, the love of skiing comes second.

You must be a Warren Miller protege' - sleeping in your car in the base lodge parking lot?


"...During the winter of 1946/47, Warren and his partner Ward Baker skied every resort in the west while living in a small trailer that was eight feet long by four feet wide. Warren paid his expenses by selling copies of the book and drew additional cartoons that he sold for one dollar each... "

Now there's a thought.... :dunce:
