plexus Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I got my eighth day yesterday. It's evenly split between resort and backcountry as well, with each getting four days. My goal for this season was to get 30 days skiing. While it does seem very reasonable, I will be missing almost two weeks in Costa Rica. So what's other people's tally so far?

Sol Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 7, all resort days at Mt. Baker. One day being in my top 5 powder days ever , with 20 seasons of snowboarding under my belt: 2nd chair on chair 6 after if was closed for 3 days with 30+ inches of freshiez. "if snowboarding were sex, mt baker would be the orgasm" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 2: 1 Baker (12/28), 1 Crystal(12/30), both amazing but crystal took the edge when they opened HC late allowing waist deep top to bottom untracked lines directly under the chair at 3 PM.

RogerJ Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 As of 1/3/2008 -> 12 ... 5 resort, 7 backcountry. I'd have more with all this snow if I didn't have this whole employment thingy interfering with my fun. -r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm afraid I'm only at 5, but that's 5 more than last season. My best day was recently at Crystal. I skied the new lift in the NBC, and they opened the SBC late in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilookeddown Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have 19 days 6 of which I rode the lifts. Kurt, nice skiing with you last Sunday. We should get out again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 OUCH, only 1 day in the past 3 years, (great powder day last year). ZERO so far this year but am going for a few days next week. That stage in my life with very young-ens makes it tough to get out. Oh well, I grew up in Utah and would usually get over 100 days in a year back then. Someday, there will be life after children, so I'm told anyway. Please make some turns for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 5X5 I'm only posting so that someone will post a better number. C'mon folks, these numbers are not respectable relative to the epicnast. Snoboy, aren't you a patroller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skykilo Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Excellent use of complex numbers! In polar coordinates, I'd be at about 25 e^(i Pi / 6) if the real axis is resort days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerJ Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sweet we get to count imaginary ski days too? -r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 5. shooting for ~25, though anything East of the Rockies should only count for a half day even when conditions are good, and -1 day when the refrozen deathpack is in effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 C'mon folks, these numbers are not respectable relative to the epicnast. No shit! You guys suck! I have 10 days of ice climbing and I live in PDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korup Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 22 days, with 5 on the lifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkane Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 5 days And JayB, I have seen many a west coast hot shot humbled on East Coast ice, but it's incredibly rewarding to learn to carve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Kurt, nice skiing with you last Sunday. We should get out again soon. Yeah that was some fun semi-backcountry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirwoofalot Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 YTD 0 But I have a week planned for at Crystal in late January and we will do at least 2 days befor that and 2 to 4 times after. Realistically we can be looking at 9 to 11 days this year. WOOOOOOOOF! WE = Wife, Son, and Daughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 5 days And JayB, I have seen many a west coast hot shot humbled on East Coast ice, but it's incredibly rewarding to learn to carve it. I'd prefer to go back to the days of tuning my edges once per season, daytime temps that never dip below the low teens, big-mountain terrain covered by staggering amounts of natural snow but... Here's the existential quesion of the day: Who is the least happy? The Eastern Skier in deep powder, or the Western skier on ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moira armen Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 9 resort 1 backcountry 3 cross country 1 ice 1 snowshoeing with my ice tools to not find ice :-( I love winter!!!! Especially during this epic cycle! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_p Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 8 mixed between resort(5) and Backcountry. Tomorrow shall be day 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 5 in the backcountry and 2 at resorts. Would have had a lovely 10 day holiday in early december, but it was right after all of that rain that we got. So i went climbing In Bishop CA. -East cost conditions build character. We wont be the ones complaining about hard snow, or chilly temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
