I was thinking that each day of snowboarding could have a conditions scorecard. Each category could have a rating from 0 = Terrible - should have stayed home; 5 = Fantastic - one of the best days ever!
The conditions categories could be:
The drive up: 0 = Stop & go - bumper to bumper; 5 = Great - I could drive as fast as I wanted.
Weather: 0 = Cold, snowing, blowing, zero visibility; 5 = Blue skies & sunshine - not too cold.
Crowds: 0 = Long lift lines, lots of A-Holes on the slopes; 5 = Where is everybody?
Snow conditions: 0 = Icy, rough, crappy; 5 = Near perfect groom or 12+ inches of new powder
Drive home: 0 = So bad I forgot what sort of day I had; 5 = Great - I could drive as fast as I wanted.
So a perfect day could have a score of 25. A bad day could be near zero.
What other conditions factors should be considered?
