After an 8 year hiatus I skiied for the first time in all those years on Saturday March 5th at Gore Mountain, NY. I loved it, my daughter loved it, it was fantastic! Today was Day FOUR this season, but in only 11 days. I may get out again on Friday.

For the record, I consider anything over 3 hours of actual slope time a day on skis, and for all intensive purposes, for me, it really is. I may sneak another ''day' in on Friday, and another 'day' in on Sunday. If this is cheating, tough. I make the rules when I'm counting my own ski days. Unless somebody wants to lay out criteria for the AlpineZone discussions on this topic. I am proximate to four local ski areas and mornings on the snow are going to be a key element in my skiing program going forward...

A run is a day. You put your gear on and go its counts.. That is how I look at it. Sneaking out of work or going in later would never be as much fun if you could not add it to the total.IMO Quality days are determined by your own mindset. Hope you get the extra days in. Alot of people go at night after work and there is only so many hours to go, its an effort to get out sometimes. Good for those that do.

The Big squaw references and Bangor in same tag line looked familiar. Are you the one who makes snow in his back yard? If so we have posted back and forth I believe.

Glad to see I'm not the only one dragging it into May. I was thinking of hiking into tuckermans, not sure about skiing ..honestly sounds like alot of work to drag gear in.
Loon just said opening until the 17th of April another week longer than originally planned. May skip the sunshine daydream weekend and ski with the family know. It will be work after that to ski. I will go though.

You should really start a threat over here about how you do that. I found it one of the best threads of the year over there. Kind of like your own version of bathtub gin. :D
