Slopesquad 15-16: How many days so far this season?

Gee, looks like real nice conditions.
Yikes!
Did I ever post in this thread?
My goal every year is to break 60+ days. I've been pretty good these last years, making that goal and bettering it considerably, with the exception of the two years when I had season-ending injuries (right shoulder both times, scapula and clavicle year one, and humerus year two, but thankfully not rotator cuff destruction). I get a seasonal rental for 6 months up in NH, drive 3+ hours to it from home near Boston, and ski from that rental at the mountain where I teach and at other mountains somewhere within a day's driving distance when I don't.
Given New England's shorter season (3 1/2 months, give or take), to get that 60 days I have to ski 4 days per week, most weeks. My family does not ski, so Christmas break is not included, and I have a job, so a full week during ski season doesn't work either.
Last winter, which was quite unfulfilling (understatement) weather-wise here in NE (worst ski season on record), the weather allowed me to get 59 days. I did not make my goal, even without an injury stopping me... Too many of my potential ski days featured HEAVY RAIN in the forecast, and with a 3+ hour drive to get there to ski, I cancelled. Had I chosen to go up and get a few (very few) runs in during the rainy days, I could have gotten my 60. In some cases, I regretted not going.
It was a sad, sad season. It's affected my outlook on this upcoming season. I hope Mother Nature is kind to us skiers this winter.

Of course, if this weather pattern continues, we'll need to start the upcoming season thread...

It appears I"m going to let my streak end at 22 months. Work and weather worked against me for August. Ya, I know today's the 31st. More pressing things to be done. I'm still hanging at 97 days on the year. I'm also trying to get some more days of biking and sailing in. Time will tell if I hit 100 by the end of September.
I feel fortunate that I got my August ski day early in the month. The last couple of weeks have been rough. Hope to get my September ski day in next Tuesday.

I believe a bunch of us are heading to St. Mary's on Tuesday! Could just be the greatest day ever!
Always is....I believe a bunch of us are heading to St. Mary's on Tuesday! Could just be the greatest day ever!

The 6th? Keep me posted. I've never been to St. Marys and if I could crack 100 for the year that'd be sweet.
Let's do it @Doug Briggs ! It is also a little birthday excursion for my buddy Matti who I believe you met at A Basin this spring.
A little over two days per month...not bad
So, what is the least number of turns that you make on that junk to be able to call it a ski day?
