I'm with DMC on this one!

I'd rather get a few good, quality hours on the hill, especially where my muscles are their freshest and i'm able to really bring my "A game" then have to often "endure" those late day, hour 6,7,8 on the hill where the muscles are fatigued, and my energy levels are often down, and i'm more likely to make sloppy turns. Especially this time of year when at most ski areas, the light starts getting really flat after about 2PM. In 6 weeks or so when we start getting much more reliable, later afternoon light, then i'm more likely to extend my day into longer sessions on a more regular basis

I also agree. I am at 10 days.

I just did the math and with upcoming trips to Aspen and Utah, some time off in March, and with an estimated (hopeful?) closing date for Mt. Snow of Sunday 4/14, I should be able to get to 46...

If only I could squeeze that to 50! Hmmmm

16 all at Okemo except for one day each at Stratton, Hunter, and Mount Sunapee. It was my first time ever at Mount Sunapee despite many years of having an Okemo pass that is valid at Sunapee. Too bad I forgot my camera on Saturday, because it was a great day with great scenery.

Making that same Mount Snow 4/14 closing day assumption as long as I don't have any injuries, and that the Bronco's beat the Raven's this weekend, thus having the Patriots traveling to an away AFC championship game the following weekend so that I won't be heading to a game at Gillette Stadium MLK weekend, I should end up with 56 days - which gets me thinking about trying to squeeze an extra day or 2 in between now and closing day at Mount Snow so that a single late April weekend trip to Killington gets me to 60 for the year :)

Haven't been to Labrador in years.

18 so far for me, 4 at K, 1 at Jiminy, the rest at Hunter. 3 powder days so far.

I usually ski from 10am to closing, a half hour for eats.

Sadly enough, 0 so far. I almost went up to Whiteface with a friend of mine for new years. He was dissapointed the glades were mostly closed though, so he wound up XC skiing his second day. I also swung by Spring Mountain (hill) PA, a little local ski area 15 minutes from my house, but the line no joke went halfway up the hill and they had a whopping 2 runs open.
I'm going out to Tahoe for 5 days on the 25th so hopefully the conditions stay good!

25 today. And will be at K thru Sunday. Goal was 80. Looking dicey. If I don't hit 70 I'll be upset. We shall see.
