I'm at 79 days right now. Had a nice climb up Shawnee Peak last night for sweet corn. Still lots of snow up there.

70 is your number then. Backcountry counts just as much if not more IMHO, than lift serviced days.
Sunday at jay peak was day 154. I still have a few day trips to killington and a weekend or two at sugarloaf. I skiied most of these at Sunday river-sugarloaf-jay- Berkshire east and wachusett. I ski 7 days a week. I will hit 160 this season. I started haloween and ill finish in about 2 to 3 weeks.
I guess some explaining is in order. And, no, deadhead, this is no joke.
At some point during the summer, for a variety of reasons, I will be moving permanently to a tropical country on the other side of the world where there is no snow. So, in all probability, this is my last ski season. I hope to get in as many ski days as possible and cross off some more ski tours on my list. I'll be off-loading some of my gear and tuning equipment in the next few weeks (though I'll be hanging on to some just in case I get to ski in New Zealand, Japan, Korea or India -- TRs to follow) so stay tuned for that.
Thanks for all the kind words. It was great hanging around AZ all these years. And, yes, gents (and the few ladies around here), it was a pleasure bantering with all of you. You made the work day go by much quicker and kept me looking forward to the weekend. I hope to ski with you all before this is all over. If you see an Asian man on fat skis at a resort near you or somewhere in the Presis, that'll probably be the snowmonster. Say hi!
