I've only skied a whopping 2 days so far this month and one of those was a crappy 2 hour night session. Luckily the other day was my best day so far this season. A single A+ day and an F for the day count. Overall, I give my February a C- so far. I'll get an LSGR over hard pack groomer session in tonight and next week looks like it will be rough most places. I don't expect the grade to improve based on that. Hopefully the last week of this month is better.

You?

Just 2 days. 1 was fantastic (aside from the icing up goggles), the other wasn't so great. I'm falling way behind on my days out goal for this season.

Also 2 days out. One so-so day at Pat's and one almost but not quite so-so day at Flatton.

Pros: Both days were free. Saw progress with the girls.

Cons: Buncha jack-off kids acting like jack-off kids at Pat's. Really put a crimp on things. Weather and conditions at Flatton were teh suk.

I'm sorry Pat. :( Would it help that aside from 1 day at Mohawk, my entire season has been at Sundown? And that only once have I done anything other than night skiing?

I really wanted to hit 25/30 days this year. I'll be lucky if I can get to 18.

Its cool, just trying to make us both feel better. I think its amazing you guys ski as much as you do. Keep it up. Your form in the videos i've watched is really smooth. Like Mr. Blasko always says, its about the miles and if those miles are at sundown, thats great.

1 screwed up trip to Kmart. A few good runs but not worth the effort. Not too happy at this point.

I don't even remember how many other times I've skied this month, after yesterday's awesome trip it doesn't really matter all that much to me... ;)

Sorry I guess that doesn't help... I know exactly how you guys are feeling, I was feeling the same way last week.

I don't know how many day I have in Feb but for me Feb has been good. A great pow day at K. A very good day at the bush as well as one at MRG....I can't ask for anything more.

Just 4 nights at Wachusett on 2/4, 2/8, 2/12, and 2/14. Certainly a step down from the first 3 months of the season but I'll take a rest before I really go nuts in March. All I really have left this month is Mount Snow next week (Beast looks like it's not happening) and the 24 hours at Wachusett on the 29th.

It's been great for me so far. I'm up to 19 days for the season and had one of the best days of the year today, both because it was snowing at a good clip on the upper mountain and because I felt I was skiing really well on some stuff that is sometimes challenging for me.

The goods have been out there, but even I have had a hard time capitalizing on the right place at the right time. Two major weather busts that were suppose to be big storms but thankfully not total wash outs. Clearly a few epic days were had at Stowe for those with fewer commitments and maximum flexibility. But overall even I have struggled for truly great skiing this month. Mad River on the 8th has been the highlight.

I'm revising... Feb sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks. First niar and high temps, now I hurt my knee. And then more niar on the way. Crap, crap, crap.
