We've done this in years past (2004-05, 2005-06). Along with the poll above, let's use this thread to discuss our individual ski seasons. How many times did you get out? Was this above or below average? How would you classify your ski season overall? I know some folks are done, but I'm not through yet so I'll update once I put away the skis for good.

Can't answer this just yet, I'm at 38, hope to get enough to put me in the 41-50 range. Unfortunetely with the way this season is going, there's no telling how much more I'll be able to get in.

hoping for 100+ but may not happen as i need to go another 15 days, and i'm starting to get a bit lazy. the ball is in mother natures court. i'm not even a little sick of skiing, but a bit physically tired.

I may have forgotten one or two, but I'm pretty sure my ninth day out was my last. I had planned on 25-30 for the season, and would've likely hit about 25 had my season not ended prematurely on Feb. 11th.

Between this weekend and next weekend, I'll hit 39. After that I have 2 straight weekends with "flatland" commitments, and somehow I don't forsee too much being available the last weekend of April that's within reasonable round trip day driving range for me from CT.

So 39 is what it will be for me. Given how things started out, or maybe (r$%^ed out would be a better way to put it) and that I lost by my count 7 days that i normally would have skied under in normal years, I can't be too upset with the season. And between my wife and I, by the end of next weekend, with what we paid for out All 4 one passes, less the Edge dollars we had, it will end up being about $10 per day. Not bad at all in my book!

I'll end with 31, same as last year.

Wachusett (21): 12/8, 12/9, 12/12, 12/15, 12/18, 1/11, 1/12, 1/18, 1/19, 1/25, 1/26, 1/30, 2/2, 2/7, 2/9, 2/16, 2/23, 3/8, 3/13, 3/22, 4/1
Killington (3): 3/25, 3/26, 3/27
Stowe (2): 3/17, 3/18
Stratton (1): 12/28
Sugarbush (1): 2/11
Mad River Glen (1): 2/12
Berkshire East (1): 2/22
Mount Snow or Sunapee (1): 4/5

By Month:

December: 6
January: 7
February: 8
March: 8
April: 2

No personal records for me this year. I tied last year's count of 31. Next year, I'm going for 40+ with more Wachusett trips, more Beast trips, maybe a couple more Mount Snow trips, a Sunapee trip or two, Stowe, MRV, Killington, Burke, Jay all in the offering. Hopefully I'll get pre-Thanksgiving skiing in for the first time in my life and hopefully some late April skiing as well.

I'll be the lone "0" in your poll. Growing a baby=no skiing. :( Next season... as long as I can find someone to watch the kids.

Same with my wife severine. Maybe Brian and I can watch the kids in the Sundown lodge while the ladies make some turns? ;-)

Brian wasn't too keen on that idea! LOL!

I'm sure my MIL will volunteer to watch them once or twice. Just won't be like my first season when I found AZ, that's all. It'll be a LONG time before I can get that much skiing in again.

Not nearly enough. But, thoroughly enjoyed every one. Thru practice - got much better at boarding the bumps. Disappointed that I chickened-out on a Big J excursion - was a little leary of the trek out. Maybe next year, going to hike it a bit this summer.

I'm in the 21-30 day category. I have 23 days in so far & expect to get another 3-5 days in. Looks like I won't exceed last year's 30 days but I'm close. For me, it has been a very good season! Here's where I've skied so far:

Sugarbush 3 (with another 2-3 more hopefully)
MRG 1 (with another 1-2 more hopefully)
Killington 5 (with another 1-2 more hopefully)
Burke 2
Mount Snow 3
Stratton 1
Magic 2
BEast 3
Sundown 2
Butternut 1

I was going for 25 this year and missed it by 6. Not bad since my season really didn't start until the 2nd week of January.

Places visited

Whiteface, Gore, Sunday River and in the famous Poconos, Blue Mountain
