Got it a good mix of local southeast days together with a long trip out west in Feb. Glad I squeezed in an extra weekend in late Feb when a really cold front went thru VA, especially since I skied with friends that weekend. Missing out on about 15 days at Alta in April. But still can't complain.

Just realized I might not have paid off my Gore pass. Nine days at Gore.

I got about 5 at Gore in with 1 free one for a friend. Was hoping to hit the late winter spring thing to get more in at Gore with M-F non-holiday pass. Did mostly Slab (Song-Lab) skiing but never counted. Bout 3 times a week weather dependent. They started late so hit Greek early 3 times with friends. Gore pass gave me a bit of discount there. All good days. I've gave a few posts but mainly like reading your board.

Bat shit flu kicked me out of hiding, but remaining at home. Hope you're well.

Want to spend special time with your children, teach them to ski or snowboard. The reward will be endless!

14 Days
2 Monarch, CO
1 Sunlight, CO
1 Powderhorn, CO
2 Ski Cooper, CO
1 Plattekill, NY (not my report)
1 Flumserberg, CH
1 Heuberge, CH
2 Obersaxen/Mundaun, CH
1 Brigels, CH
1 Tschiertschen, CH
1 Pizol, CH

My lowest ski-day total since 2005 (the year our son was born) with only one day in NYS and a pretty lousy one conditions-wise at that. As people say down here: whaddaya gonna do?

Highlights to this season included hitting a couple of fun indie ski areas in western Colorado for the first time (Powderhorn and Sunlight), revisiting a pair of little areas that rock (Monarch and Cooper), and checking out a few in Switzerland that I've had my eye on: Obersaxen, Heuberge, and Brigels.
