I won't bother listing the rest of my days at Massanutten in this thread.  Couldn't resist skiing some runs on their Opening Day on the way north since I have a season pass there.  

I always lose track somewhere around 35 to 40 but I know I was around 80 last season. This year I have one more day than our current total snowfall. 3 days, 2 inches.

If you're going to count days, there has to be some accountability, see comments above. Maybe a separate lift-served and x-c list.

walking in the woods doesn't count..

downhill skiing that was at least 2hrs  

Look at bumps hating on the Belle. I did 12,000 vert that day.

I don't really care who approves and who doesn't.



I updated my post for today.

Personally I think your pic of a walk in the woods is worth more than any day doing lift laps on the man made

Many mornings while skiing the big hill I'm thinking about the afternoon in our woods.

Clearly I am a road less traveled kind of guy.

Bumps you're a constipated box stuffer, and I won't be stuffed into your wretched box!

Day 11, rack it!

Was that really necessary? I'm going to complain to the webmaster.

It sounds like you can’t poop but you have a way with the ladies, that’s not so bad.

Harvey on the other hand sounds like he’s about 102 years old. :D

LOL yeah I may be old but I can take bumps in a donnybrook.

A Ski Day Tracking Thread,huh?  To what end does one keep track of their ski days on a forum filled with anonymous strangers they've never met and, in most cases, never will?  Can't you just put a notch on your belt or make a note on the door of the fridge or something?  Must it be so obviously narcissistic?  

Honestly, what is your point?  (Think long and hard about that before you answer.)

^I don't agree with this one.

One of the things I learned while getting older is that people should let people have their fun. It might seem like they're being dumb, but if they aren't hurting anyone, let people have their thing. If it makes someone happy to track ski days, I say "go ahead, guys, knock yourselves out"

I don't think it is "harmless".  You need to look (and think) deeper.

Not following you, but I'm bored again, so I guess maybe you'll do the big reveal later and I can come back in and comment on that.

i like ski day tracking threads, strava (except zwift cuz that's  just weird), and pictures of bikes leaning against stuff
