What a good start to the ski season in the northeast. Have you skied more this ski season so far than last season? I skied more early season this year than last year. I'm at 23 ski days so far and last year I had 20 ski days by December 22nd. Only a few more days but way better ski conditions so far this season..:daffy:

Less.

Although I did go to Colorado last December and this season so far in Scotland has been She-ite apart from a couple of weekends where I had to work.

So far this season blows but there's plenty time yet.......................

Pretty much on pace with last year. I would say so far this season is slightly better. 6 days of local bumps vs. two last year.

I think I was at 2-3 days by the end of the year last year. So far, I have 16 this year.

So, more. :smile: :daffy:

Here's hoping you get some of the love we've gotten so far.

Far more than last year and far better days on the mountain. Better conditions and more terrain.

I would say less as I didn't work at all last winter. I'm maybe @ 20-25 days but not all open to close. The quality has been incredible since thanksgiving. We were looking pretty bare in late Nov and as december ends we will be approaching 180-200 inches if the next couple systems pan out. I will only get out a couple times between now and New Years though.

Same. Last season was way better before Christmas.

10 this season vs. close to 20 last year.
Yup. Early season pre-lifts I got more days and early December was off the hook. This Thanksgiving through Christmas has been consistently good versus the out of no where hits we got last year. Of course, we didn't get 3' the weekend before Christmas last year either. So while overall conditions are better for more skiers, I have had consistently good skiing without hitting any jackpots, first day at Mansfield aside. Whereas last season, I was schlepping for monster powder frequently.

nope, behind and with a 9 month old at home and studying for the Chartered Financial Analyst exam I'll likely have another low day count year :cry:

Yup, I've got 10 so far this year, whereas last year I had 8 as of December 22nd. Main reason for me. Last year the Patriots had 3 home games in December, this year they had 1 :)
