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

[Vortex]

I guess I have not been paying enough attention. I wish you well my friend 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!

Best of luck Martin, sounds like there will be good surfing where you're going!

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

Nope

Didn't I tell you a couple of months back I want to make turns with you...and now this?

I wish you health and happiness. And just like we enjoy a tropical vacation, so too, will you enjoy going on a snow vacation. The Southern Alps in New Zealand are beautiful mountains, have great skiing and the kiwis are fun people. The Japanese Alps get as much snow as Alta. Don't hang up the boards. Once a skier always a skier, my friend.

Wow, that sounds like a pretty difficult transition to make, best of luck! We'll be here if you want to come back for vacation...

Nope

Actually, maybe...

Actually, maybe...

Which is it?

 

[bvibert]

Which is it?

I didn't count my days, do you really think I have any idea how many runs I took?? :lol:

With today's technology I thought you would of had an app on your phone doing it for you.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

 

[phin]

you're a soul skier! nothing wrong with that.

i am the opposite. at the end of the day/week/month/season, i like to see how many runs i squeezed in.

 

[dlague]

This has been a great season for sure! We have skied 34 times so far with a goal to get to 40, but will probably fall short by 1 or 2! Cannon and Sugarbush this weekend, Jay peak the weekend after. We will probably hit something up in May not sure where yet! If killington makes it to June that definitely will warrant a trip! We generally make it to 30-32 range, but last year we ended at 18 due to weather and my wife breaking her shoulder after an out of control newbie ran into her! This year will be a new record for us!

As far as counting runs - I would lose track. I use a couple different apps for that purpose but always forget to turn them on.

BTW we always ski using discounts and comps so we track our costs - just to see how we fared!

Ill hit 40 days on the slopes by this weekend-not as many as I would have liked.. I forgot how hard/frustrating it can be just getting out on the weekends. Counting my days in the backcountry and on the slopes while the lift isn't turning would put me at like 70 or so days on my skis. All in all, one of my better seasons throughout---i learned a lot, improved a little

^ working hard and playing hard :beer:

 

[St. Bear]

That's the only way to do it.

 

[gmcunni]

looks like i'll end with 22 days, 23 if i get really lucky and ski May 4th. my goal had been 25.

 

[RootDKJ]

40. I could end it and be content, but I might press for 41 or 42.

70 is your number then. Backcountry counts just as much if not more IMHO, than lift serviced days.
