Bousquet19's post on the "How Many New Ski Areas Did You Ski" thread and; I'm in Colorado right now and this weekend last year I skied 6" of fresh powder at Araphoe Basin. A-Basin closed 2 weeks ago so I won't be skiing tomorrow and Bear Creek wasn't even open yet on Christmas where I usually ski with very uncrowded conditions Christmas night. So that is two ski areas that I didn't get to this year due to the bad snow year. In addition, people like ski-it and joshua segal have already skied every area in New England and New York so it's hard for them to add new ones. This season I skied 24 days at 18 different ski areas. 1. Killington, 1 day 2. Okemo, 2 days 3. Stratton, 1 day 4. Ski Big Bear, 2 days 5. Camelback, 1 day 6. Elk, 1 day 7. Magic, 1 day 8. Mt. Snow, 3 days 9. Bromley, 1 day 10. Gore, 2 days 11. Whiteface, 1 day 12. Dynamite Hill, 1 night 13. Jack Frost, 2 days 14. Berkshire East, 1 day 15, Sno Mountain, 1 day 16. Solitude, 1 day 17. Snowbird, 1 day 18. Powder Mountain, 1 day Even in this bad snow year 24 days is a record for me. I don't know if 18 areas is. How many different areas did you ski or ride this past season?

Black Mtn (NH), 12 days. 3. Bretton Woods, 2 days. 4. Burke, 1 day. 5. Cannon, 1 day. 6. Cranmore, 3 days. 7. Gunstock, 1 day. 8. Killington, 1 day. 9. King Pine, 3 days. 10. Loon, 3 days. 11.

Wildcat, 1 day. 42 days I'm pretty sure that comes up to which sadly I think is a record setting season for me... even though it's the first time since about 2004 I didn't ski in April.

But I can only blame myself and not the weather. 1. Mount Sunapee, NH 2. Bradford, MA night. 3. Crotched Mountain, NH 4. Ragged Mountain, NH It's great to hear about the wide variety of places people went. Like out in B.C., Montana. Idaho and such. __________ Saving Our Ski Areas - I'm Skiing New England - or the New England Ski Area Project

sledhaulingmedic Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Dec 20, 2002 Posts: 2875 Location:	Posted: May 20, 2012 - 7:58 PM GMT A grand total of one: Crotched mountain. I finished up my last year of school (while working full time), and, on top of that, it wasn't much of a season for snow. Here's to a better season next time around. __________ "Don't piss off the locals, Don't make work for the patrol"

Camelback - 2 Mountain Creek - 2 Mt Peter - 2 Gore - 2 Whiteface - 1 Blue Mt. - 1 Hunter - 1 (minimal cover)

jimk Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Aug 27, 2004 Posts: 1070 Location:Wash DC area	Posted: May 21, 2012 - 4:15 PM GMT I skied between one and six days each at the following ten ski areas: Red River NM, Taos NM, Steamboat CO, Beaver Creek CO, Copper Mtn CO, Seven Springs PA, Timberline WV, Saddleback ME, Sunday River ME, Mt Abram ME. Question for you all: is it better to ski many days at fewer ski areas or fewer days at many ski areas?

Absolutely. (Kind of a wise-guy answer meaning it's all good just as long as you're skiing somewhere).

4aprice Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Jan 16, 2006 Posts: 999 Location:Lake Hopatcong, NJ	Posted: May 21, 2012 - 7:18 PM GMT Lets see; 1. Camelback (of course) 2. Elk 3. Blue Mountain 4. Seven Springs 5. Stratton 6. Bromley 7. Okemo 8. Killington 9. Pico 10. Sugarbush 11. "Glen" Ellen 13. Bolton Valley 14. Smugglers Notch. Not that many. Notice no areas from out west which is not normal for me. First time in about 20 years I did not get out west. Starting about a month later then usual (mid Dec) and finishing a month earlier then usual (mid Mar) didn't help either. (actually ended up eating some pre bought tickets). Next year figures to be much different. Alex Lake Hopatcong, NJ

Stratton, 1 day 4. Ski Big Bear, 2 days 5. Black Mountain of Maine, 1 day 6. Elk, 1 day 7. Magic, 1 day 8. Mt. Snow, 1 day 9. Bromley, 1 day 10. Gore, 1 day 10a. North Creek Ski Bowl, same evening 11. Whiteface, 1 day 12. Dynamite Hill, 1 night 13. Sno Mountain, 1 day 14. Middlebury Snow Bowl, 1 day 16 days, lowest # in ten years. 3 of them were on a white ribbon of death in early December. Terrible season, although I enjoyed the skiing thoroughly. Except Stratton, where I paid more than the walk-up window rate.

DrJeff Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Apr 29, 2002 Posts: 914 Location:	Posted: May 23, 2012 - 1:22 PM GMT 1. Mount Snow - 33 Days 2. The Canyons - 2 Days 3. Deer Valley - 2 Days 4. Killington - 1 Day 5. Park City Mountain Resort - 1 Day 6. Snowbasin - 1 Day The greatest number of different ski areas I've been to in a season since prior to my kids being born! Can't wait for next season when my oldest starts the Mount Snow race team and I get to travel around to areas in Southern VT/Eastern NY that I haven't been to in many cases in 15 years or so!

abubob Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Oct 27, 2008 Posts: 760 Location:Bristol, NH	Posted: May 23, 2012 - 6:00 PM GMT 12 days at Ragged - just barely broke even with the seasons pass because I skied a lot of Sunday afternoons. 1 day at Magic 1 day at Waterville 1 day on South Peak (Moosilauke)

While I appreciate the accolades from Trackbiker, I just want to set the record straight. I have only paid & skied all the public open areas in New England, that's Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. To ski all the areas in New York would be impressive, but my personal total there is 1. __________ Saving Our Ski Areas - I'm Skiing New England - or the New England Ski Area Project
