81 and closing day at Breck. The area always closes well before it needs to. Only Peak 8 was open. Searching for the right snow made the day fun. Frosty's was super fun until there was a wreck at the very bottom of it that restricted access. I hope the person is ok. By the time I made it to the mid-load of Peak 8 Super-connect to report it, the patrol had been notified and were on the way.

And of course there is this forecast for Breck:

2 days at Jay to close out the season puts me at 32 days total. Apart from 6 days in JH and 6 at Mammoth, the rest were in Ontario, so I don't know if they qualify as full ski days :rolleyes:

I ended my season yesterday with 25 days, which was my goal. Next year, I hope to reach 30.

All but 1 day on the MCP:
Mammoth - 3
Aspen/Snowmass - 5
Taos - 6
Whistler - 5
Stowe - 2
Squaw/Alpine Meadows - 3
Northstar - 1

I really just need to move somewhere mountainous and snowy already...

Breck whenever possible
Closing day Sunday at Breck made 62 days. Saturday it continues at A-basin. Unless the parking lot looks absurd, then I might drive on to LL.

It is supposed to continue snowing off and on all week in Summit County with the largest deposit on Friday and Friday night. Early to rise, early to park, early to ski, early to beach is my plan for Saturday.

Today, was day 82. The only picture I took was on behalf of a friend that likes Turtles.

Day 27 in spring conditions at Killington. Great skiing, but it's much wetter and sloshier now. That might turn out to have been my last day of the season, although @bounceswoosh keeps waving pictures of snow-covered Colorado peaks at me, hypnotizing me and weakening my hold on my credit card. . .

Well I got 6 days at Snowmass this season. Which isn't bad for an Aussie. Will probably ski 15-25 days at Mt Buller, Australia and the Aussie backcountry this SH season. Won't be coming back to the US for a while unfortunately.

Day 55 was last week, but I just realized that it's also Month 55 in that streak. So that's kinda cool.

Just a little PSA - it's going off on the Continental Divide right now and totals are well exceeding forecasts period by period. Snow quality has been phenomenal.

So if you want or need days, there's two swell places to ski running at full ops and a third close to full ops (through Sunday).

Planning to sample (again) and will report back. Conditions for the next 72 hours? Powder. :wag:.

42 days so far, in St Anton. About the same number booked for the Australian winter, at Falls Creek.

There is, of course, another answer to the question... "not enough!".

Let me know if so - I'm on call this weekend, and Loveland has better reception for me, so if I ski that's where I'll be!

I will be at Killington this weekend if you'll be around. Otherwise we will have to meet up next season at BE. Omg who am i, asking someone if they'll be around to ski. This is new for me :)
