Last Day of Skiing for the 06-07 Season?
Friday, not a bad day for some skiing! Kev, trev, syd, and I headed up the hill for a good day of spring skiing. Surprisingly, the snow was really nice and I had a blast. Basically a day of groomed runs, but that can be a lot of fun when there are no people on the hill, it's warm, and I'm happy to not be at work! The day was pretty short, finishing up around 2 something. But that gave us the chance to head back down the hill and jump on the boat for a quick couple runs of wakeboarding. I can't say I wasn't a little tired wakeboarding, but still, now I can say I've skiied and wakeboarded on the same day! =) (btw, the pics aren't too bad for coming from my phone...)

Skiing 2006-2007 Season
This season started out very slow with a bleak outlook for snow. I didn't get up the hill and actually skiied for the first time this season on Feb 14! They also changed the vertical plus thing on the season pass, so instead of scanning in each time you're getting on the lift you just do it at the beginning. This isn't as beneficial for us who hit a lot of runs, so getting this bonus feature is less attractive for us now.
(nstar, sierra):
Feb 14 - sierra - me, kev, lori, heidi
Feb 23 - nstar - me, trev, marieka
Feb 24 - nstar - me, trev, marieka, cora
Mar 02 - nstar - me, trev
Mar 03 - nstar - me, trev, kev, cora, sydney, jer
Apr 13 - sierra - me, trev, kev, syd

Skiing 2005-2006 Season
I was working out in the field during Dec & Jan and decided not to get the season pass this year. I wasn't sure how long I would be down in the pipe. I got back in early Feb and got in a few days to ease the urge, still not many days, but I can't complain. =)
4 times to the ski resorts (3 at nstar, 1 at kirkwood):
Feb 6, 2006 - kirkwood - Me & Jen
Feb 17, 2006 - nstar - Me, Trev & Peter
Feb 20, 2006 - nstar - Me, Trev, trev's co-workers (trevor, warren)
Feb 24, 2006 - nstar - Me, Trev, Whitney

Skiing 2004-2005 season
2004-05 ski season was the season of the pass. As if I didn't keep track of enough numbers and too much misc information, the season pass would log every time I went up the chair lift and tell me how many vertical feet I'd skiied...
16 times to the ski resorts (14 at nstar, 2 at sierra):
Nov 11, 2004 - sierra - 9,154' - 4 trips up grandview, 2 up westbowl (so a nice warm-up day...)
Dec 04, 2004 - nstar - 46,896' - 24 runs on the backside (a good day)
Dec 05, 2004 - nstar - 30,875' - 15 runs on the backside
Dec 09, 2004 - nstar - 33,348' - 17 bkside
Dec 10, 2004 - nstar - 16,608' - 8 bkside (half day)

Here's me on Feb 16, going on a midday with my bosses and a couple of co-workers. This is the picture I get of myself after making the phone call to shelton who was unfortunate enough to recieve the miday gloating call from me at the top of the mtn...heheheh =P

I think this was the first year using Vertical Plus, kind of a cool bonus. Don't think it always registered the times we went up, and sometimes we just skipped that line... but we still got some good stuff from the pass.

Ok, when did I really start skiing a bit? Probably my freshman year in college. I went sporadically a little before that but when I got to college I started getting dragged (willingly!) up the hill to Tahoe. I haven't really been keeping track of the days I've got, that's kind of been a more recent thing for me. My first year in college was a El Nino year and there was a lot of snow!! The years following that I started getting season passes. I don't know how accurate the below is but that's ok... it's really for me anyway:
Ski Seasons:
97-98 - started learning and going a little
98-99 - $199 season pass for kirkwood, not a bad deal when lift tickets were near $40-50
99-00 - $199 season pass for kirkwood again, still a good deal
00-01 - Don't remember
01-02 - Don't remember
02-03 - NorthStar / Sierra Double Whammy Pass since kev and trevs family cabin was near by =)
03-04 - Double Whammy
04-05 - Double Whammy
05-06 - Was out working in SoCal during a couple of the winter months, just went when I got back home.
06-07 - Double Whammy again
Resorts in Tahoe I've Gone to:
Kirkwood
NorthStar
Sierra
SugarBowl
Boreal
Diamond Peak
Other Resorts in Tahoe Area (that I haven't been to but probably would like to goto):
Squaw Valley
Alpine
Heavenly
Homewood
Mt Rose
Other Resorts I've been to:
Mammoth Mountain
Dodge Ridge
Bear Valley
Other Places I'd like to goto:
Colorado: Vail, Breckenridge, etc
Utah: Steamboat
Canada: Whistler
Alaska
