This calendar year? Or the 09/10 winter + the 10 summer?
If you are counting the December of 09, this is my list

Japan
Niseko - Around 110
Rusutsu - 8
Kiroro - 1

Italy
La Thuile - 6

India
Manali - 3

NZ
TC - 1
Ohau - 1
Coronet - Around 20
Remarks - Around 85

So about 230-40


Hey Jamie, it's Jim, you stayed at my house at the end of NZ. How's home treating you?

Hey Jim, It's good to be home but already getting boring, gonna get some riding in at the dry slope and head out to Canada on December 1st so not too long off the snow. Where are you headed this winter?

I did the math, i literally couldn't ski more than 100 days in my season (with school and if i skied every day on every break, which doesn't happen)

I've gotten about 80 days each year for the past 3 years though.

Haha, I was thinking about drysloping it the other day, but I am not sure I am quite that desperate yet! I am heading back out to Japan, just booking my flights now, probably going about the 29th, just a bit over a month to go :)

I got in the 50-60 range in 09/10. This year my goal is to break 100, which shouldnt be too difficult given my new schedule.

My season hopefully starts in 4 weeks. Last year I got almost about 80+ days in. Seeing as I am taking online classes for high school, I am shooting for well over 90.

I've gotten 100 days, give or take the past few years. I used to write a journal, writing down every day. I put it down in a blog entry one year, so you can search my profile if you're interested.

Instead of just going for days on skis this year, I'm going to try and get more days in the backcountry than days inbounds (while still getting 100 (give or take). It might be tough, might be easy... depends on a lot of factors I suppose.

Talma was a 10 minute drive away, so I got a couple of times in on extended evening leave and could stash my gear in empty lockers on permission. No leaves though, but a snowboarder who was a member of Pakastin got leaves to go practice, so there's always a chance if you plead your case right, I guess.

I hope to make 40 this year, since I'm going to college and everything. See how things shape up. Maybe I'll get a lot of night skiing done at COP, along with every possible weekend at Kicking Horse, PLUS I got 2 free days at Sunshine, PLUS PLUS, I'll be working World Cup again at Lake Louise, that includes free skiing.

Where the fuck did you even find all that money to travel? Spending a winter in japan and the summer in new zealand isn't cheap on it's own.

I work as a ski instructor, so a lot of those days were predominantly spent teaching. India is not expensive to travel around at all and Italy was actually a work trip. But yeah, flights can be a bitch.
