Minimum days will be 4, realistic will be 6. If things go really really well at work the next two weeks, I might be able to bring that # up close to 10. All at Blue.

Jersey yo!!
If you get to ski that much at those places God Bless you. You're either extremely wealthy or work in the industry. For me it's a matter of doing the most skiing I can for the least amount of $. I thought my 60 days between PA, Northern New England and Utah was pretty good but you've got me beat.

Don't sell yourself short. 60 days a season skiing anywhere is awesome. G-d bless you as well. My post didn't come off the way I intended to. Sorry bout that. Damn interweb!!

FYI, I am neither extremely wealthy nor do I work in the ski industry. I manage my road time well (I'm a saleman) as to allow me to ski more than I should. I also save all my vacation time, personal days, and sick days for the winter so I can ski more. There are days that I'm skiing that most people I deal with think I'm working. I can work from the chairlift or the gondi via the celly. It's a trade off. Make less money but spend more time skiing.

Hope to make some turns with you this season. Again, sorry if you mistook the tone of my previous post. My bad.

Probably around a dozen or so days will be logged in December.

I'm hoping for 6. It seems like there should be more given that I'm 20 minutes from Mt. Snow, but I work during the week and some weekend days get taken up with holiday preparations. Then, at Christmas break, my pass is blacked out. If conditions are good we might head to Berkshire East or Bromley for a day pass day, but the cost of a day pass gets big fast when you are a family of four!

February will be my big month, my (and my childrens') February vacation is the week after Presidents week, so I'll get a bunch of midweek skiing in then.

I don't think we have one of these yet. If I count outings with my daughter, I should get 10+.

Ended up with 8 days. 1 Sugarbush and the rest Sundown. I gotta get back up north soon.

I wound up with 7. Slightly over realistic. Last year I only had 1.

My plan this season is to get out an average of twice a week, so that would make it 8 times this month. They're likely to all be short sessions, but that's okay with me. :D
I made it 7. Could have managed 9+ but I skipped out on a couple opportunities. Yes, I'm crazy.
