How many days do you expect to ski in December 2008?

[JerseyJoey]

I'm guessing somewhere between 20 and 25..mostly at Blue mountain..no ski trips out west until late January at the earliest..

You count a day in the Poconos as a ski day? Wow. You must be one helluva skier.

I should actually count each day in the Poconos as two ski days due to all the Jersey Joeys I have to avoid on the slopes..

Must be some real rugged terrain at Blue. Hope you do better on snow than you do on a couch.

Not at some pissant little hill in Pa, that's for sure.

Another elite skier from New Jersey. I'll take my 40-50 days in Pa then go north (New England) and west (Utah) over your 20-25 days strictly up north any time.

I said I'm gonna be skiing for 22 days in December. Not working 22 days in December. I've pretty much never worked in December.

Elite skier? Not me, however, I do get in about 60 days a season in Vermont and between 20 and 30 out west each ski season. I'll have that 20 to 25 days you speak of in by New Years, and none of them will be in Pa. Mark it down!!

Hatin' on feeder hills is lame.

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.

Last season I got in 20 days at Sunday River and 12 at Sugarloaf and when all was said and done we did have a great time but also wound up driving 30,000 + miles in 7 months time.

This year with the economy in the crapper and money alot tighter, we are going for a different approach of skiing more locally and it's nice to have some quality skiing close to home. I find that I can have just as much fun on 200' of vertical as I can on 2,000' especially with good company because in the end it's the experience that counts.
