How many ski day so far? (2012/13)

[elks]

Four? I didn't get in that many. Being a new dad was tough on the ski season. But the days I did get were absolutely phenomenal, so I'm not complaining. I think I had powder every day I skied except for my Wachusett days.

My experience with kids is that you have to put in the time, but it pays off! My older son is now 5 and skied 15 days this season. He was able to follow me around the whole mountain including single black diamonds, bumps, and even started getting into the trees. I found out that there are other reasons to ski down the mountain with a big smile than powder days. It's been a great season.

Yes four(4). Do I loose access to the ski part of the forums now?

Yes!

My Sundown pass says 50 something, so I'll go with that...

we won't mention that I scan my pass almost every day I work... most of which aren't ski days...

 

[Smellytele]

Well I have made it to 40 even . Not seeing any more in my future this ski season.

 

[St. Bear]

I think the first year we had my son, I got in 5.

I'm at 14, still optimistic I can get 2 more.

Must be nice to have a local hill nearby. If I did I'd do a midweek tune-up every week of the season. It's too long waiting from Sunday to Saturday. :sad:

Do you think you skied 50 runs at Sundown this year?

30 days so far with 3 more to come- Sunday River 4/14 and 4/21 (closing day) and a day at Sugarloaf sometime thereafter.

 

[WWF-VT]

I can see at least two more lift served between Sunday River next weekend and Sugarloaf the weekend after. I may play hooky this week to hit Loon one more time. The plan for the remaining months is to ski whatever resort remains open then earn turns until there's nothing left to slide on in Tux. Mt. Washington looks like it will have a long season and I plan to go out with a bang. This will be my last season on skis. I'll be hanging it all up after this and moving away. Hope to ski with some of you before it's all over.

For whatever it's worth, man, I had one helluva ride!

Where you going monster?

I'm sure you'll be back!

Wow hopefully you have another great hobby to pick up were you move. Your like an icon of winter on here, hope you still on A zone.

 

[planb420]

Well my season is over and I have completed 77 days, 650+ miles, 530k+ Vert, 930 jumps for 444sec of airtime, 53,000+ calories burned, 7 pow days (1 EPIC STORM IN THERE), and 1079 runs. Not bad at all....just such a shame to see all that snow waste away

 

[drjeff]

Logged day #53 today

At least 2 more next weekend at Mount Snow (maybe a few more if the business is there to spin the lifts *fingers crossed* ) and then 1 or 2 more days the 1st weekend in May at Killington since I promised my kids that we'd get a lift served day in May in this season! That would put me at a low of 56 to as many as 60 for the year

Yeah that post needs more explanation, right? You are not making sense.

 

[snowmonster]

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!

Vacation to ski areas, you may not have snow were be living but you can still hop on A plane? When I get to SLC you can come out there to ski and stay.
