mirror70 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I normally only get 15-20 days in, but this season I'm up to 37 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motopilot Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Used to get over 100+ a year. Due to my "other" job I am just happy with about 30. Any day I am out is a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dragon fly jones Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Man it has been crazy, 38 already. With a full time gig and coaching. Can you spell burnout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Usually around 20. This season I've got one (1) so far. I wanted to get out this morning but it's 55* and raining. That should just about put the local hill out of commission. Hope you all that have snow (or at least temps. cold enough to blow) are enjoying it !

Derf Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I usually get between 5 and 10, and I am now at 2. Wow, I really feel different from the rest: under 10 days a year, only one alpine board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 up to at least 25 now...never really kept count. DFJ - you and me both. I usually am completely burnt by the end of nationals. 3 years ago, I got home and took a buddy up to ride, and wound up sitting in a beach chair drinking bloodies while he rode...

Gecko Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 last year I did 18 days and that was awesome...I had plans for that this year but mother nature stepped in first in the form of no snow and then the Tsunami I'll be lucky to get 3 days (actually 2 because my first 2 days only add up to one day)...I can't wait until I'm back in the states even if it is the Ice coast...BTW the year after an El Nino is usually good for N.E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragon fly jones Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Noah, Man I am cooked, been on the road soo much, I love going to resorts but as you know, you see 1 lift and one to three runs to inspect, then your standing, bending and last minute prepping and then your off the hill, missing what everyone else gets to see. Just this year, I have been to Steamboat 5 times all of them to Howelson, we just drive back and forth past the big hill (Mt. Werner the resort) it sure looks nice. I even took a photo to remind myself of it since I will not be riding it this year. Same with with Beaver Creek this weekend, get there and do business and then, back home, ah well that's the coaches life. More lament than rant. DFJ.

jtslalom Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Living in NJ, its hard to go out alot. I get anywhere from 40 - 55 days on the snow, mostly at night. This accounts for riding only in NJ at MC. I usually go north for one or two trips for a total of about 5 more days. So far this year I've been out 10 times.

Dave* Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Averaging 100 110 recreational days a season the past seven years. sitting around 30 days +- right now. today is twelve in a row , legs are beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Since I live in the "South" east, our seasons are pretty short. I average about 80+ days, but those are almost all morning - afternoon. Daily first tracks on groomers rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 DFJ- At least you get to see some nice hills. not much to anticipate when you approach blue hills, MA. not even enough room to make some turns getting back to the lift. but Ido love to see the kids grow into excellent riders. It makes it all worth wile. fortunately, I don't have to travel as much as you guys out west. 3 hours from one end of the state to the other... peace out man! -Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Derf, don't feel bad. There are plenty of us like you who only see ten or so days a year. Forty a season or more? I think I've only just passed the forty for my whole life! I watch other people ride and am amazed at how good they are - but then, snow time is the biggest thing for egtting better ...

MozzMann Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 2003 Season nearly 60 Days but I was Photog every 2nd day for clients :) great mix of 2 things I love. 2004 season I only got about 10 Days or so in due to other commitments :( .

D-Sub Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 12 so far. less than it should be since thats what Im here for BUT...quality over quantity. I dont like carving on bad light days, and I dont like riding crappy snow so its either powder days or good light carving days picky, I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I think I am 10 or 11 so far this season, my first as a carver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarvCanada Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I've got 20 so far, 24 if you count going out from 9:00 -4:00 and then 5:00-10:00 as 2 days. The last 5 at Mont Sainte Anne were EPIC! :) Going out tomorrow to Orford, I hope it's alright since we got some freak rain here in Quebec! ???!!
