Slopesquad 16-17: How many days so far this season?

[textrovert]

Got my day in July today at Squaw. Season total at 34, and that should be it for my 2016-17 season.

And with one as long as this- only a few months to count down to the next one!

Yesterday made day 106 (not 108 as I posted before; 108 recorded sessions over 106 days.) https://forum.pugski.com/threads/mt-hood-for-the-summer-fun-nationals.5406/

@dean_spirito , it was great to see you and I'm sorry we didn't get to hang together more. They kept me busy and tired.

160ish. My last day was June 25th & finally put my boots in the foot locker the other day, so I guess I can try to figure a total. I didn't keep exact count but I think I have a pretty accurate idea. I figure I had 130 days in Utah between Snowbasin, Powder Mountain & backcountry days. I was able to squeeze another 30 days in California with 3 days at Sierra-at-Tahoe, 3 at Alpine, 2 at Mammoth, 10 at Squaw & 12 backcountry days.
I still hope to get some August turns because that is the only month I have never skied in.

Middle Earth in March

Stevens Peak in May

Mammoth Memorial Weekend

Mt. Tallac late May

I had about the same last year but many were work days, so I'm gonna say this was probably my "biggest vertical feet skied" year. I think I had more days in 82' or 83' but lifts were much slower back then .

On I side note, one may think someone who skis that many days probably goes through a lot of skis, boots & bindings? Well yes, this is true! To help feed my addiction, I have entered the K2 photo contest found on this very site. I didn't enter just to win stuff but I entered because the skis that are being given as the prize will fit my quiver perfectly! I have probably owned more K2 skis over the decades than any other brand so it would be like getting back with a good old friend. With the demise of SkiLogik, I think this K2 will cover the gap left by my Chariots & Front Burners with style.
A vote would be appreciated immensely!

Thanks!

...but,
The math doesn't work yet .
I would luv to see us 1 & 2

Tied for 5th doesn't cut it.

Edit: after a second look, I decided that jacket rocks so you got my vote!

Thank you for your vote. I 'speced' the jacket which my mother then made for me from a Daisy Kingdom pattern and kit. Here it is back in the day:

I have the hat and an identical pair of goggles. The boyish good looks, not so much.

Great seeing you too! Looking forward to catching up with you when I get back to Breckenridge.

Today was my 150th day of the season! Pretty stoked. Looks like I may be finishing out the season slightly above last year's total of 163ish.

59 & 60 Mammoth July 23,24 great way to top off 2017 ski season.

Ironically, your 96th day was my 69th.

Today was 96...the most in any season for me. Still a chance to hit 100.
