61. I might barely make my 75 mark......

Most days I have skied in a season so far, last season was 58 and my last day was on May 1 (in VT!). Considering this is one of the worst seasons I have ever experienced as far as weather, I am doing great. First day of the season was on Halloween at Killy, looking for that May day at Bush again to cap off the season but I really don't think Bush will make it to the 5th :/ damn you 1st for falling on a Tuesday!

I skied every month (lift service) in 2011 except for June through September. I did do a rail jam in early September though.

I got in 8 days. There is a very small chance I will get any more in with this 80 degree weather everyday. This is the lowest amount I have ever gotten since i started skiing.

Close to 30.  Let's say 27.

Last year I got 45.  In a typical year I get about 40, 30 at Mammoth, and maybe 10 at Mt. Baldy.  This year, Mammoth sucked until mid-jan, and Baldy did not open until last weekend.  I still got some days at Mt. High, as they had good deals, but I won't get to my last year total.

The good thing, is that Mammoth has good coverage, and will now last a while.  Baldy is finally spinning, and should last through the end of April.  I should get 7 days in the month of April, and with a May trip, and a day next weekend, I should get to 35 for the year, with maybe a few more.

I had fun yesterday at Baldy.  Today I had planned to go, but it did not open because of the storm. 

I feel bad for the kids back east.  I grew up back there, and I am now so used to Sierra seasons -- lasting to Memorial Day in a normal year-- that it would kill me to go back to an east season where things end in March.

I miss the 120 day seasons of ski bumming.  Having said that, I'm not going back, so I guess I don't miss it enough to leave my current life.
