View Full Version : Roll Call: How many ski days this year?
Now that the season is officially over at Gore, it's time to add 'em up. Even though there may be a few areas still open for this weekend, my season is likely done.
22 days on my Gore pass
7 days at West (OK, those were actually nights)
2 days at Mount Snow
2 days of XC (GHL and Mt Van Ho)
So 33 ski days.

21 days on my Gore pass (all at Gore). I battled a case of bronchitis for most of the season, which made it difficult to do 2 days in a row, and the friend I skied with most of the time, who's fast and really, really good, often wore me out.
Thank the heavens for that big dump in late February. Overall, not a bad season at all.

Good idea for a thread Jeff.
I had 27 days this year. My goal was 30 or more.
True to the mission of Harvey Road, it was (almost) all in NY State:
Gore (20)
Whiteface (1)
Siamese Ponds Wilderness (1)
Hunter (1)
Belleayre (2)
Plattekill (1)
Hopewell, NJ (1)
With all the snow that fell south of the mountains, I felt I had to count one ski day in my own backyard.
New areas for me were Plattekill and Belleayre - two mountains I really like.
You may have noticed - I'm a total creature of habit. I appreciate the friends who pushed me (James and Jason) to expand my horizons and explore the Catskills.
I put together something of a summary for my season and posted it this morning. As you'd expect it's mostly about Gore:

When I looked back at it, it was actually a pretty good season.
Maybe not when compared to other ski seasons.
But when I compare what I spent on skiing and how much enjoyment I got out of it, I think it's the best expenditure of my entertainment/discretionary dollar.
And that's not accurate ... for me skiing is far more than entertainment and it certainly is not discretionary.

I'm some where around 40 days. I gotta confess to the board that I was naughty. Some will boo me, especially those who truly earn their turns because they don't live 40 mins from Gore and less than 2 miles from West Mtn. I can literally look out my window and see the slopes of West Mtn.
I probably should not admit to it in a ski forum but.....
I coulda easily had 60-70+ days this season and didn't seize the day. My bad, huh?!! I know, I D-bagged it. I had a pass at Gore and West Mtn and I was off all winter. Every year, I'm all like " I'll get 50-70 days!" and thought this year I would. Now I realize that once I get over 30 days I start to lose interest.
You skiers who endure long drive times and expense/effort to ski a lot really earn your turns. Word. You are the Champions.
I know some of you would kill to be in that position and yet I squandered it, so to speak. Sorry. Go ahead, snowball me. My bad. :oops:
I did have a lot of fun tho!!!

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Harv no doubt would love to ski that many days. He has the ski bug bad. Chronic. Someday he'll get that many days annually. He deserves it.
Jimmer probably has a high number of ski days.

Close to 60, I lost track at about 20 though. I might be headed out to Tucks with Rossi too, so hopefully one more!

Not sure how this happened. Felt like I had quite a few more days than I did. Maybe it was the trip out west and two weekend trips up to WF. Here's my totals:
Gore - 9
Whiteface - 5
Snowbird - 2
Solitude - 1
Park City - 1
Total of 18 days.
Thought I had around 25 days. I guess perception is everything. 72 Days is pretty freakin amazing. Something to aspire to.
