The season of 05/06 good or bad

Was alright.

I had my longest season to date at 43 days and more often than not, conditions were good. I always seemed to miss the pow by a day though.

It ended for the average joe, me, on April 16th. I plan on skiing next month, but lift serviced skiing ended too early this year.

I am tempted to try skiing what may be left at Belleayre or Hunter next weekend, but with all the rain forecast, it does not look good.

The lift serviced skiing did end early. Overall, I'm coming up short in total days (only 35 so far.) Quality, has been a different story.

2 Great powderdays at Saddleback
First time a Pico: Not the best coverage, but still fresh lines.
A great trip on the cheap to Wyoming (doesn't really count.)
First trip into Oakes Gulf with awesome corn
Great trip on Firescrew, first in nearly 20 years
First trip back into Gulf of Slides in about 10 years, with some great company
A gnarly day of trees and good snow at Jay with Riv and NHPH
Lots of days a K-mart, Stratton and SR with good conditions in January when most others were in tough shape.
A great, bluebird day, late season at K-mart
Several excellent days in Tuckerman (hopefully, several more)
Many days of skiing in good company.

It's a good season, so far.
