Most skiing days
I got in 28 days this past winter at Breck, Keystone and A-Basin. Two
14 day trips. About double what I have been able to do in past seasons. So the lack of snow in Summit County CO was not too severe. |

I got in 15 race events in the 30 days or so we were away skiing, I hope to double that next year. It was done on poor conditions. But I am beginning to wonder if temps really are changing. The The Hardiness growing zone is changing Long Island used to be a 6 1/2 now with a recent article in newsday it been bumped up to a 7. Also while in Hartford last week a black bamboo was shooting in that area they should not come up for another month mine is not shooting yet but expected any day. Here in the Chicago area, plants are at least a month early. |

With Mammoth today, I'm up to 19 days this year, so far. One more good Sierra surprise snowstorm and I will gather a few more. Not bad for an "off" year, although it was actually a good year for Southern Cal - SS opened Nov 9 and closed April 15. |

Pitty sort of but now only those willing to earn the turn get them. I had just about plenty of lift served days. Nov 20th was the first and April 8th was the last. Got some vert, that's for sure.

We got punded all year ... well except for a few miserable 36 and "snow" days in late Decemebr and early January. Just got really really lucky with the storm tracks this year. It was funny seeing all the team vans from other mountains in the parking lot because they had to move races to our hill. Mamoth even moved races up here when they had nothing and we had plenty. Still have a few more days that I will probably hike before I switch over to mtn. biking for real. Plus this weekend is the Leadman Race at Silver Mountain so I get a little bit of ski time on that one as well.(not much but heck, I'll take a gondola ride since they are offering DaveM |

But this will be the lowest number of days I've skied in 23 years. Just can't seem to get motivated after Sun Valley in Febuary, have not even bothered to go up to Crystal. Every day I have time, Bert can't or the weather sucks, etc. Might have to sneak down to Bachelor next week to use up some free tickets. |
