18-19 Season - How many days so far?

[jmeb]

Day 2. First day riding lifts.

By the crowds you'd think it was super secret. Felt like an April day. I love soft groomers.

@Philpug -- even skied some of those ancient 957s Equipes. And I still have knees!

@AKMINK on the renouns????

One run. Said they were fun but too short.

Day 2 with @jmeb et al at a super secret location.

not too secret. I mean he did park his van up front and close to the stairs.

Creeping on my van, but not skiing laps with @Blue Streak and I -- shame!

One. 6 runs. Lots of people and some floaters in the snow.

I asked this in CO stoke, but what is that building, top left of center, in the photo below?

right! I was 2 rows behind you so I just happened to walk by. I looked for a pugski sticker in my car but didn't have one. Your window was open a bit so I was going to put one in your van. Looked for anyone with a pug sticker on their helmet or wearing a pug vest but no luck.

There is a fresh PugSki sticker on the back of the van. Couple more at home. No Pugski stickers on the helmet yet as it may be replaced shortly.

Does anyone else not even count their days? Once in a while I look at the calendar to get a rough idea of how many days but I don't keep track.

Blasphemer!

It is not a big deal, but I do like to know. As much because people always ask and saying 'oh, 50 or so' isn't quite as impactful as 'I got 53 today'

The beers taste the same in the lot regardless of number of days.

I always start out counting. Then I get lazy.

I keep track of the ski days for my family and one of my niece. Some of it is to keep track of where we have been. Can't remember year over year. The true purpose of keeping track is to figure out which skis needed tuning and/or waxing. I like to batch my tuning and waxing.
The equipment tracking also allows me to anticipate hardware needs for the coming season in the summer.

Day 1 and my 39th consecutive month on snow. Skied Copper with the team. Hoping to get out at the Basin and Loveland this week.

 

[John Webb]

I'll pass on the DWROD (the diminished WROD's) -lol so likely ZERO till Thanksgiving.
A mob scene like driving the Belt Pkwy in NYC or the 5 in LA- not fun.

I count how many days in the season I don’t ski. Typically between zero and five.

Five Days. Killington wraps up their first week of operation for the new season.

One. A very depressing september day at the Stelvio glacier, spent skiing on black ice and dodging holes on the slopes.
Snow base so low that skilifts ropes were so tight that every now and then I got air lifted...a thing that wasn't occuring since I was a skinny kid...and I am 170+lbs nowadays. At one.specific lift, people had to, in order to release the lift, perform a little jump...problem is...the jump had to be done before a crevasse opening, two to three feet right before it, it was unnerving to say the least. One kid was not able to do it and ended up dangling, hangin on tight for his dear life, right above the crevasse, crying
for his dad help but being too high and to far to be reached by us. Lifties had to carefully and slowly (lift had been stopped when the lifty saw the kid had failed to release, unfortunately it was stopped with him in the wrong place) apply power to the lift until the kid passed over the crevasse mouth and reached a corniche where another lift was waiting to catch him. I had been considering taking a couple more runs before going home but after having witnessed that I decided that enough was enough, called it a day, headed home and have been waiting better times to go skiing since then. Day two will hopefully arrive in a couple of days in Austria.

I finished October with 5. I haven't ridden a chair yet, but I hope to get some resort laps in this weekend.

Not strictly 2018/19... more like 2018 only: 48 ski days in St Anton and 82 in Falls Creek (Australia). Still looking for that perfect turn.

8 weeks coming up in St Anton, starting Jan 2019.
