Days out this year so far

[oneotwoandcounting]

I “sorta” lost track this year. I think I'm at 41 which is terrible for me this late in the season. My best season was two years ago getting in 102 days therefore my handle.

Injuries did me in this year. I'm finishing the season with a separated shoulder, two torn meniscuses in my knees, broken ribs and a cold that feels like phenomena. Other than that I feel fine.

My friends keep asking me what I am doing at the mountain. I don't get it.

With a full pass at Sugarbush, you get a ticket for a free ski lesson. I'm thinking of taking mine on day 100... jsut to see if they will tell me how to drive these things. :roll:

New resorts for this season include Loon, BEast, Nashoba and Ski Ward. To say where I've not skied is kind of impossible...

Sunapee was on the books for this season, but we got rained out.

Tomorrow, if I ski I will go over 2 million vertical feet, for the season.

days out so far

That is awesome lostone- I am jealous. I am at 61 days, and the night skiing has ended. A few more weekends to go though! I should hit 70 no problem. Not bad for someone who has a 50 hour a week job- not at a mountain!
:beer:

Im going to try to go to college out in SLC, then i will be able to compete with your 100, maybe not that much but atleast 50, and probably half those will be powder days.

Continuing the saga...

Today I went over 2 million vertical feet! People remark how far I've skied, but I have to keep saying that is only vertical, not actual distance.

Today I skied with my GPS to get a feel for how the two relate. On the bad side, the batteries died during the day, so I don't have the full day recorded. On the good side, the info I did get was too much for anyone who had a life to bother with. :roll:

Because the batteries died, I was unable to use the vertical from the watch, so all of my measurements came from the GPS.

For that segment:
I did 12180' of vertical. That comes to 2.31 miles. I traveled 20.25 miles.

Then I remembered that the milage while on the lifts is still recorded on the GPS and needed to be subtracted from the total.

Surprisingly, the distance traveled on the lifts was 7.18 miles. (10 runs)

That means I skied 13.07 miles for the 2.31 vertical miles.

That means that I ski 5.66 miles per vertical mile.

Carry that out for the 378 vertical miles I've skied this season and it says that I have skied 2141.5 miles this year!
