    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.
    The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli

    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.
