We usually go skiing about 2 days a month plus one 5 day ski vacation.
When I lived in Flagstaff, Arizona I would ski 3 or 4 days a week. Now
I have to drive a few hours to ski.

50 to 60 full days
half dozen or so half days and a dozen or so nights.
Skiing so far in the current 2004-05 season 14 days.

Never ever enough, but usually 30 days, plus or minus a few days. I'm
working on improving that.

Been averaging near 60 for 25 years or so - it's so low because I've
been working full time. I expect to correct that deficiency shortly.

Not enough. Lately if I can get 20 days, it's a decent year.

Well, obviously. Anybody who's had 20 days lately is having a decent
year already. Too bad I'm off by an order of magnitude.

I'm now officially committed to at least two trips to Baheemya, having
popped for the second season pass I've ever had in my life. Oddly,
the price was exactly the same as my first one (Pine Knob, '81-'82
IIRC). Coincidence? Or conspiracy?

I doubt it's a conspiracy. If it was, I'm sure it would have come up
at the last meeting.

Have fun at Bahemya. I may make it up there yet, but 600 miles is a
long way to go to get my ass kicked.

If you find yourself contemplating anywhere in the LP this winter,
drop me a line. Be sure to remove your boots first.

I usually manage between 70 and 80. Depending upon the lenghth of our
season. I'd ski more but my school district frowns on my calling in dead.
