Just curious what everyone's "max resort" total in 1 season is.

I'll be hitting mine this year with what will end up between 55 and 60 days(depending on how far past Easter the lifts spin) at Mount Snow this season

My top two resort-day-years are both this season. See signature, add 1 or 2 for Sundown, 15 or so for Killington, hopefully. I might have actually set my personal best mark earlier this year at Killington at around 15 days in. 25 definately would have been a personal best if not for Sundown.

I stepped it up a little this year.

I'm up to 28 at Wachusett this year. Should round it off at 30 by the time they close next Sunday. I'll probably put in 50+ at Burke alone next year. Add in 20+ at Sugarbush, 10+ elsewhere, and maybe 10-20 at Wachusett and that is part of why I picked Lyndon ;).

I had a string of 8 in a row with over 50 at Okemo. Freshman through Junior years of High School were over 80 each season.

Stowe I've had a couple of 80 plus day seasons and a few in the 50's.

Haven't skied anywhere over 17 in the past seven years though nor have I skied more than 20 total in a season during that time. I miss my youth.

Those are prodigious numbers indeed. But dude! Your, like, in your early thirties right? Wait until your in your fifties to ponder your wasted youth.

The best I ever did was 60 - 70 something days at Vail in "74 - '75. Slow doubles, record snowfall = lots of powder!

This season at Hidden Valley - 24 days which came out to $7.88 a day. That will be it at HV this season because last Sunday was closing day.

And then in your 60s, start skiing 100+ days a year again. :smile:

33 and yes it is still my early 30's dammit! :lol:

Not really pondering wasted youth, just stating the fact that my professional and personal life doesn't allow for me to ski 70-100 days a year like I once could.

Eventually. I set a goal last year of skiing at least one more day than the previous season for the rest of my life. I got out 20 days last season, this year it will be at least 21, hopefully 22-23 if snow lasts to late April. Total would've been in the mid to upper 20's had I not had a bunch of things come up this spring.

180 when I worked full time as a patroller, and skied on every day off.

68 when I finally grew up, got a real job, and still worked part time....

This year 40, and I was out of the country for 10 days in Dec., and the whole month of February. Still got anther 10-12 days to go

Over 100 days at Snowbird Utah. :grin::grin:

My wife and I (at the time both in our early thirties) quit our jobs :eek:and for our extended honeymoon we skied all season at the Bird; best thing I ever did. We also spent five weeks in the spring traveling out west.

36 days at Sundown this season. If I counted a few other really short sessions with my kids, it probably would be closer to 40.
