How many ski days did you get ('08/'09)?

[ski diva]

For those of you whose season is over, how many ski days did you get?

I was out this morning, but it was so gloopy and the forecast is so dire (rain and warm temps) that it may have been my last day. Which would have made it #66 -- not bad since last year I had 63 days and we went til the middle of April.

I know, I know -- you Divas out west are still going strong. Not the case here in the east. Some of use are DONE :(.

So what's the count?

I have 36 - but am heading to Aspen on Friday for 5 more days of skiing - for a total of 41 (one more day than last year.)

40 :D

Nowhere near enough: 23, but the last one was only 3 runs. :( I didn't intend for it to be my last, it just ended up that way. I feel like I have unfinished business; the season ended before I planned and I didn't go out on a good note.

Um, 11.

That's quite a bit for us! I definitely envy some Diva lifestyles.

I soooo wish we were able to get out more, but I think we do pretty good considering all that's restraining us. The mountains are all at least 2 hours away and hubby and I both work 5 days/week. We had lots of conflicting schedule issues this winter...I can't take off any weekdays from Jan. 15 - Feb. 15 (gah! peak skiing!), and he didn't have weekends off for 8 weeks straight.

BUT I'm still happy we got out as much as we did. We're hoping to increase the trips for next year; do a couple more weekend trips if we can. Hopefully we'll be a half-hour closer to the hills then, too. Woot!

24, hopefully with a few more to go

and I'm so bummed, need more days, need to move

We got 6 days in Steamboat, 3 days at Crystal, and 26 days at Caberfae for a total of 35 days!!! Whoa!!

 

[sdskiqueen]

29 so far, but hoping to add to that number. A couple of weekends before most of the resorts close and then there's always Arapahoe Basin which, depending on the weather, could stay open for quite awhile. Was able to ski there in June one year!

A big fat whopping FIVE here. I may get another day or two in, at least I hope, but I just put a kink in that even, with plans to go out of town next week!

 

[cwmscm]

I think that it is 26 or 28. The most ever I can remember. I wish I could get some more.

 

[w.ski]

Going to Stowe tomorrow. That will make 63 so far. Hoping to get another 4 or so more after that. It's been a good season, but went by too fast!

 

[naskis]

7 :(

 

[pinto]

Only 22 so far. I usually hit 30, so this is low. I don't imagine I'll make 30 this season, but I'll do my best, if the weather cooperates.

They were almost all long and of high quality, though, so that balances things out some.

 

[Bing]

21 - pretty average for me.

 

[GimpyGal]

74 and counting. No wonder my knees hurt! Hubby thinks he'll make 125 this year.

 

[Little Lightning]

I'm at 50, but plan to ski 10 more days before Copper closes. If conditons stay good I might hit A-Basin in May.

Last year I had 71, a record for me.

 

[frenchgirl]

At least 41 days...I might have missed a couple. I am pretty happy since it was my first full season. Last year I went 10 times I think in February till mid-March.

 

[KatyPerrey]

98 so far. I still have 1/2 of April at work and then free skiing at the Basin and Loveland till they close!

 

[plainjane]

67 so far, planning on total of 74, will be a personal record.

Managed to get to the slopes within driving distance for 14 days of skiing. Up from 12 last season, which included 4 days at Alta. Pretty good since no trip out west this winter. Went to Massanutten, Wintergreen, Beech, Sugar, and Winterplace. Some weekends, some day trips since all these places are 3-4 hour drives. My non-skiing hubby felt like we were gone almost every weekend.

Got a bonus day because we were at Massanutten for the MLK holiday weekend and Raleigh got buried in snow the day we were supposed to drive home. Around here, 2 inches guarantees a snow day. That storm dumped 6 inches. There were still sledding possibilities when we got home the next day. :D

M'nut was empty the day after MLK, mid-week rates, and had lots of new machine snow because it was really cold. Plus I got to ski alone first thing in the morning since we went with a non-skiing friend. She stayed in the condo with the girls (my DD and her DD). DD's ski buddy isn't ready for black runs quite yet.
