I got about 30 days in this year which is probably 15 more than the last 16 years combined. So, for me, it's a win! Looking forward to next year.

First time doing the majority of a season (as opposed to 1 week a few times over the last 20 years). It's not cheap, but it was a blast! Doing it again this season but only for a month and half...May continue into the Spring in another location, see how it goes.

Only 77 days skiing and riding, my lowest since the '08 - '09 season when I was still employed full-time in my profession. This was due to my caring for my elderly mother, whose health was in decline as a result of being afflicted with two terminal conditions. I took on this responsibility after my father passed away in June of 2016. During the 2015 - 2016 season, an extremely dry one by Utah standards resulting in somewhat less than half of the snowfall received during this past season, I logged 99 days. From the 2009 - 2010 season through the 2014 - 2015 season I always racked up between 111 and 115 days per year and averaged ~ 1.75 million lift-served vertical. I also always accrue an unknown amount of vertical skinning up, booting up, and uphill traversing each season. Mom passed away midway through last season so I fully expect to revert back to logging my usual days and vertical this coming season.

At 144 days skied four more days and 100,000 more vertical than last season. Just one of many lucky locals that squeeze skiing and work into the same day.

Hats off to all those hard working weekend warriors that are logging 40-60 days. Fighting weather, traffic and untold misery all season long to get your days in. Kudos
144 days - I salute you sir (and your wife whom you've mentioned traditionally gets over 100). Was this all at KT? Just curious. Cheers

142 Killington days with one MRG and one Stowe day. I find it hard to leave my home mountain as The Beast never gets boring. Wife logged 10 more days than me in her full time retirement job as skier support services for Guy In Shorts.

I am in awe. It's our family goal to move to the area and ski the beast all season long. Cheers
