I'm "officially" done for the season today. I still might sneak in a day or two in June/July just for the novelty value.

32 days this season. All at Tahoe mountains-
Sierra (12), Squaw (6), Northstar (6), Kirkwood (3), Heavenly (2), Sugar Bowl (2), Diamond Peak (1)

Amazing season! :golfclap:

I've been stuck at 31 since May 8. Mine were also all in Tahoe, but just three resorts:
Squaw (13), Alpine (11), Northstar (7). I might get a few more...but it was an amazing season!

Not sure if my season is over or on another hiatus as I had between Easter and May 18/19 (Squaw/Rose) and May 27/28 (Mammoth).

I'm at 51 days which is down one from 2015-16. My season included 12 days at Heavenly and Kirkwood, 7 days at Northstar, 4 days at Whistler Blackcomb, 2 days at Alta, Bachelor, Mammoth, Park City and Squaw plus single days at Altabird, Mt Baker*, Mt Hood Meadows*, Mt Rose,Sierra-at-Tahoe, Stevens Pass* and White Pass*.
Notes: *=new to me area and on January 23 I skied untracked at both Northstar and Heavenly.

Besides all the powder days, season highlights included having my wife join me at Whistler Gathering in March, at Alta in April and for trip to Mammoth for Memorial Day weekend.

37 for me this season. 60/40% Park City and Deer Valley.

I was going for 45, BUT I wrecked myself twice, second time kept me off the slopes for a 2 weeks. I "Ostriched" the shit out of myself. I somehow got my head and shoulders through my ski tips without releasing. Partially tore my deltoid when I drove my shoulder through my right ski. Knocked the air out of myself and jacked up both my hamstrings. SOMEHOW nothing major happened. I wasn't drunk but it was so unexpected that I had that drunken body type crash were you fare better than someone not drunk. I'll post a pic so you can see how far down my arm the skis went. Keep in mind they never released!

I am at 53, lowest since I retired. 44 Sun Valley, 4 Bachelor, 1 Sunshine, 1 Lake Louise, 1 Nakiska, 2 Mammoth.
Thinking about going out to Timberline (Mt Hood) for a few more days later this week, as the waether forecast looks favorable and I have never been there.

That's a bummer. As a ski tech I have to ask: have you had the bindings checked before or since the accident? Were you able to determine why the bindings didn't release? I sincerely ask to learn, not to criticize.

I'm a tech too. I just like high settings. I HATE skiing out of bindings. They are newer Salomon Z12's, DIN's at 10. My 3+ on the chart is 9.5. It was a weird crash, wasnt going fast
