How many days so far? (2015-2016 season)

[jimk]

Trailboss is going to outlast us all:razz:

I am done. Last day was at Park City on Apr 6, 2016. Enjoyed some hero corn there.

Back home now in VA where if the rain stops I have to cut some deep, thick grass in my back yard.
I skied 30 days this winter.

Skied 7 in mid-Atlantic and 23 out West. I skied 13 different ski areas this winter. The most I skied at one place was 10 at Snowbird.
Five pictures:

2 feet of fresh at Canaan Valley, WV on Friday, Jan 22,2016 (winter storm jonas), deepest snow I ever skied in 49 seasons in the mid-Atlantic:

Cherry Bowl Glades at Timberline, WV on Sunday, Jan 24, 2016:

Skiing with a 69 year old friend on Sunday, February 7, 2016 on Deception Trail in Olympic Bowl at Aspen Highlands, CO, absolutely gorgeous view:

A strong skiing tele-friend on Great Scott at Snowbird, UT in late Jan 2016, maybe the 30th. This terrain is much steeper than this picture lets on.

From Saturday, April 2, 2016 at Alta, UT. My son in middle and two friends. We had just skied "Gunsight" in the background with excellent snow conditions. It was one of my most memorable runs of the season.

Way to get after it Jim! Gunsight rules. Did you hit Eddie's High Nowhere while you were there?

 

[jimk]

Thanks. Didn't get to Eddie's High Nowhere. Understand it's close to Gunsight. Only had one day at Alta, so many great ski runs, so little time
Another few Gunsight photos:

Hiking there:

That pic reminds me of hearing a rumor that the only acceptable method for getting to the top of "hike" to terrain at Alta or Snowbird is by sidestepping as seen here, and that it's actually considered poor taste and angers the locals if you bootpack it up. While it doesn't seem too bad side stepping here, I remember seeing some other lines at Alta that looked pretty damn difficult to sidestep. I've yet to sidestep up any hike to terrain but I'd think that would be much more tiring and harder to get into a rhythm. Maybe it has to do with the fact that most Colorado hike to terrain is usually on a ridgeline, idk, seems kind of weird though

 

[jimk]

If I recall correctly, it was only about 50-100 yard side step and parts were more like a traverse. This would have been a piece of cake for you!

I'm not done yet. Just got ok for more time off. Going to Banff!

48 today at Stratton. It was very icy but fun. Might be my last lift service day.

 

[bluebird]

30 days today at Jay. Conditions much better than anticipated.

20 is the final tally for me. 14 at the home bump and a 6 day safari out west. Would love to double that out west total next year.

45 so far, I might make it to 50, but probably not.

I've been on my bike as much as my skis since mid March.
