I didn't count this year because I knew it would be more than 20. I used up all my fingers and toes. Too lazy to write it down somewhere.
Somewhere around 30 is all I can gather. 2x10 day trip out west. 1 trip to Tremblant. A few to Stratton/Okemo, a few to Bellyeare plus a few to Gore. That's it. Had plan to hit K and SL. Didn't happen because I'm nursing a bruised hip/thigh from a silly fall.
I didn't count last year either. I just don't care enough about the numbers.
All I can say is I had tons of fun!

That's 7 days on the Wachusett silver pass... didn't break even on it but it was worth purchasing in order to get the MAX add on. MAX pass got me 15 days. Berkshire East was my only day ticket purchased, a whopping $15.

Yearly milestones/notes
Earliest start to a season in 4 years, mainly due to Wachusett's early opening. Swore off driving 3 hours for a WROD when there was a WROD 30 minutes away, and Wachusett got me exactly that by Veteran's Day weekend.
Most days in a season since college. Had a lot more flexibility in my job this year (not to mention more vacation time). Probably could've had at least 5 more but I decided to be afraid of the cold around New Years.
Two firsts that really resonated in skier lore: 1st trip out west and 1st trip to Sugarloaf. Worth the wait, but hope to make both an annual tradition. Also returned to a few areas that it has been a while: first time at Loon in 13 years and first time at Okemo and Sunapee in 9 years.
Plan to make complete use of the New England sector of the Ikon next season and get 5 days at Killington, 5 days at Sugarbush, 5 days at the Boyne areas (still need check out Sunday River...never ventured too far from T2 as I've only been there very early season), and maybe even will myself through a day at Stratton. Plus 5 days out west.

I had a good season. Skied more days than ever 57 with the most skinning I have done as well - 7 days. Some days were both skinning and lift serve. The end of the season was a little disappointing for me as Wildcat closed a few days earlier than I had hoped for as did Killington and didn't get to Tux as the days I could go the weather didn't cooperate. Had some great days, some good days and some days that I found fun with less than stellar conditions (freezing frostbite days, refreeze days and less trails opened than hoped for days) this year. I will miss skiing lots of days at Wildcat as I now have a Cannon pass again for the first time in almost 20 years. Not having a close option on my pass may cut into my ski days as well but may get more skin up days at Pats and Crotched this year.

March absolutely redeemed the season, and even with the relatively low(ish) days-out count, mostly due to first newborn child and scheduling around that -- I have to say between losing almost 30lbs from last year and skiing chest-deep powder and a few highly memorable days... no complaints at all. Ending the season @ Sugarbush on what ought to be remembered as one of the best spring skiing occasions in recent history left me feeling good about the season for sure.
Skied more untracked, deep pow this year than ever before. Think I got the hang of it too!
The worst we could say this year was it was too cold for a while. Hmm... I'll take it!
Probably going to be a few more years of reduced days-out. I don't mind doing a 20 day season if I'm going anywhere I want and chasing powder and picking my days though. These are mostly day trips for me and I enjoy driving + company pays for my gas, so no biggie. Might be able to squeeze in a few more next season

Skied 37 days this year at Sugarbush which is well below my usual 50+ days in a season. I had a few weekends with work travel that kept me off the mountain and other days when I was there and conditions weren't worth risking frostbite to get my pass scanned. Overall I rate the year less than spectacular as Sugarbush got about 80" less snow this year than last season with a long stretch of meh conditions in January and February.
