Serenity Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 My season didn't start until February 10th, but since then I have gotten 22 days on the planks, and a dozen days on the mountain bike. Oh, and a quarter-day of bouldering. Quote

Keith_Henson Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) when does red close sno??? On Sunday Then I'll finally have some time to do some touring... Nice variety there Keith! What did you think of Silver Mtn.? I'm kinda thinking of going there next week before they close. Only at Silver one day and it was pretty foggy. Chair 4 was was closed which was disappointing, though because of visability it was hard to tell what we were missing. Twenty minute ride up to the mountain on the gondola instead of driving was very convenient. Since only chair 2 was open on the upper mountain we were forced to ride the lift beside the terrain park. My note to Silver is below... At the Silver Mountain web site comments are invited so I submitted the following: >>> "Keith A. Henson" 2/22/2007 7:29:42 PM >>> My son and I skied at Silver on Valentine's Day and enjoyed the skiing very much. There were few people on the mountain that day, the snow was pretty good, and there was a bit of fresh powder. One thing though that detracted from our enjoyment was the loud and unavoidable music blaring from the terrain park. Believe me, nobody, even someone who might enjoy tunes while riding/boarding, enjoys hearing "I want candy" and "Jeremiah was a bullfrog (Joy to the world)". Loud, crumby pop music seriously marred the beauty of being in the mountains and is inconsistent with the alpine experience. People who want tunes have MP3 players. "I want candy" is definitely not hip--even by virtue of its complete unhippness. Turn it off and groove to the sounds of silence. thanks Keith A. Henson Puyallup, WA Since I don't have permission to post the email reply, I will supply the gist of it was: thanks for the feedback, terrain park riders want tunes, and maybe they will pick other selections. ______ Good tree skiing. Here's a short clip of my son at Silver in the trees fEUghUmT1zU I'll go back, particularly as you can stay cheap in Kellogg at the marginal but adequate Trail Motel. Have fun. Also, Lookout Pass is very close and is recommended on Thursdays as it is closed on Tue/Wed. However, I would not go there unless there is powder as the chair lifts are very slow. But really nice tree skiing at Lookout. Edited April 9, 2007 by Keith_Henson Quote
archenemy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I am jealous! The first time I went to Solitude it had five chairs and cost seven bucks. One of the best days of skiing in my life. Great report, great year! Quote
snoboy Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Hey all - it's time for some chestbeating... most of you have probably finished your seasons, so let's hear how you did. I'm at 119, but I'm not done yet. 3 or 4 more days in the plans. My previous big season was 90 or so... this is a big jump from that. Quote
gapertimmy Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 YEAH SNOBOI!!!! w00t! I'm honoured to have shared a few of those days with you (and hopefully a few more) Quote
korup Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 The season never ends, there's just a longer drive followed by hiking on dirt! I am at 52, maybe I'll get to 65 before Oct.... 119? Damn, that is impressive. Quote
RogerJ Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 The season never ends, there's just a longer drive followed by hiking on dirt! That was my question. When do you reset the counter? -r Quote
hopper_62 Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I've got 45 - but I didn't start the year until Feb 1 - so I'm going for 100 between Jan 1 & Dec 31, '07. Quote
plexus Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I don't have an exact tally, but five days resort and somewhere around 20 days backcountry. Given the high temps and what I saw early last week in the Front Range with the snow conditions, I've put my AT boots into storage. Quote
korup Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 well, my season starts in Oct, after starting a TAY streak then. Scrape through Aug and Sept of the glaciers, and then wait for freshiez in Oct on the Muir! Quote
SICKBURD Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Only 96 so far! ARGH! Wanna hit 110 before I hang up the boards. Though this is the least # of daze I've had in 10 seasons. My record is 175 daze and not as mtn employee or anything, that was SERIOUS! Quote
snoboy Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 175! :o that is some serious commitment. Me and snogurl just came back from a little ski attempt... sadly the approach had melted out, and we got only 10 turns or so... Quote
Jens Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Only 96 so far! ARGH! Wanna hit 110 before I hang up the boards. Though this is the least # of daze I've had in 10 seasons. My record is 175 daze and not as mtn employee or anything, that was SERIOUS! 175 days is quite impressive for a non employee. I talked to a ski guide who said he got 250 days one year. He was working both northern and southern hemispheres. My record is 71 days on skis. I did manage to get 26 days on ice this year. Quote
Serenity Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 You have to climb at least 4 pitches of > WI4 to count as a day. Not really I just made that up. Quote
hopper_62 Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 This guy has a few days in. Ski's alot and I got to 65 over the past two months. getting tired of the southside crowds. but the snow is still good. (early) Quote
hefeweizen Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 This guy has a few days in. Ski's alot and I got to 65 over the past two months. getting tired of the southside crowds. but the snow is still good. (early) I met that guy when I was working at Copper Mountain, CO! He's super cool, some days he would ride the magic carpet up the tubing hill just to make his requisite turns. Quote
archenemy Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 and I got to 65 over the past two months. (early) Now how do you manage that? Quote
hopper_62 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 timeberline early. skin to crater rock and makr oh..... 200 turns before you hit the parking lot. nice workout! Quote
cj001f Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 timeberline early. skin to crater rock and makr oh..... 200 turns before you hit the parking lot. nice workout! Is T-Line really open all the way to the parking lot? Quote
hopper_62 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 as of july 6 - you had to hike up 100 yards then just skin through the resort. no one says anything to you. just stay our of the wendells area and your good to go. Quote
cj001f Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 depends on what skis you are using I'll put it in the don't bother category then.... Quote
fear_and_greed Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 If you're on Facebook there is an application called Snowbook that you can keep track ski days. So far this season our "crew" has put in between 18 and 43 days so far. Linky http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=5822701842 Quote
