[kcyanks1]

If other people get to have mulitple mountains... Then I want to be added to Wildcat and Tuckerman Ravine... Both I consider a home mountain away from home...

If we are doing that, then instead of being "homeless," maybe I could be on Gore and Sugarbush. Gore because it was my home for my entire ski life until the past couple years, and Sugarbush because it's the closest thing to one now, even though I wouldn't say it really meets the status of a home mountain yet. But now I'm the only one without a home :-(

 

[Brettski]

I still prefer Nomad....

 

[Treeliner]

Catamount here..

Oh, I didn't realize I was no longer alone without a home. Now I feel better since there are two of us out on the streets

Let's just be clear that a few weekends a season doesn't constitute a home mountain.

Not saying that this is necessarily the definition of home mountain, but I would say it is the mountain where you ski at least 75% of the time.

 

[andyzee]

I guess that is actually kind of tough to define. You could say 75%, but if you ski 12 days a year and 75% of you time is at Smuggs, that's 9 days. If I ski 40 days a year and 50% of my time is Killington that's 20 days. If the other 20 days were evenly split out among 5 resorts, I'd say Killington would still be a home mountain.

What I was trying for here is to get an idea where the membership can be found most.

That's very true - you would need a lot of different criteria I suppose and it's all very subjective. I would go out on a limb and say that you don't really have a home mtn if you aren't skiing over 15-20 days a year at one place either though. Like you said, it's a very tough thing to define though.

I agree, it is a tough thing to define. I think if you have a mountain that you think of as your home mountain then it is.

Sounds good to me
