Worked it out at 99 days since 1999. Averages out at 8.25 days per year since I first stood on the board... Yet I crave more! MORE! MORE!!!

I am cheered by the fact that I thought I was the only one sad enough to have kept a record (even an out of date one), but a number of you have shown me that I am not alone in this folly.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

About 100 weeks away, plus a lifetime on plastic and in the fridge.

I am in the November of my skiing days, starting as an 18yr old on a nominal Jan 1st, over 38 years. Mostly in France, all in the N hemisphere and on this side of the Atlantic
[Geek alert] Without opening my spreadsheet at home I can't tell you the exact number of days [/geek alert]

Main answer is not enough. First ski holiday 6 years ago and since then a further 11 weeks. Aiming for 3 weeks this year. Cannot get enough.

I started when I was 3 years old. My mom keeps saying those first weeks don't count, but they seriously do
I've skied a total of of 31 weeks ! (1, 2 or 3 times a year)
+ the hours on the carpet (i have a feeling this is not the right English word) and the very little indoor slope we went to almost every sunday when i just started.
Conclusion: skiing is AWESOME! x

I am another saddo with a computer spreadsheet. My excuse is that I can't remember where all the trips were. First put skis on at Hillend dry slope in Edinburgh summer 1983 when in my 30s. Many trips to Scottish resorts and 20 years of taking school kids to Hillend. First ski trip abroad Easter 88. A friend said it would change our lives - and it did. Just returned from 2 weeks in Meribel (trip number 90) and have booked for Mayrhofen as next trip. In retirement we manage 7 weeks each winter. Its often cheaper to get a cheap package skiing than to stay at home and heat the house. We call it our 'gap life'. We now look to see which resorts give the best pensioner prices but still ski over 60km on a good day. Hope to continue till we get free passes - but they keep putting the qualifying age up!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

About 30 weeks but once a year means that you reach a plateau after about 10 weeks. Probably a bit more stylish now but slower and more cautious.
