Just found this on a search and thought people might like to read/update their lists - I was certainly surprised by how much skiing we've actually done now! 160 days and coming up on 20 years  Any of the other old timers from the start of this thread still around?
Suggest updating your original rather than copying and pasting - mine is at: http://www.snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=64&start=177. It's fun to see how times have changed since I joined as a blue run nervous nellie.

Can I suggest that if anyone wants to add to this thread they should only mention resorts not listed so far - gets a bit tedious otherwise.

pam w, I was told off for questioning the purpose of such a thread, only I called it a wee weeing up the wall contest. I was asked recently to take part in a survey of which resorts I had skied and was asked to stop when we reached 224! But I live in the mountains so I suppose I have an unfair advantage. And I spent 2 years sampling the delights of the French Alps and eastern France while living in Alsace. We skied a different area every week!, but this was before prices started to rocket after the Parisian, Lyonnaise and Marseillaise mafiosos moved it and started treating the ski resorts as cash cows.

I think it's more that some of us (myself and nbt for a start) like to look nostalgically back on previous trips and how we have changed over the years. I don't see it as a competitive thing at all. Perhaps if you don't like it, you should try just ignoring it?

My God, not sure how I've missed this thread but there's a lot of people with phenomenol memories plus a few others with tendencies bordering on Aspergers regarding ski resorts
My list in no particular order and I'm not even going to try and work out when or how much as I've had at least 3 different hols every year for over 20 years. Of course this is just the ones I've stayed whereas in certain linked areas I've visited loads of others

In the last three years I have been to just about every resort in Switzerland, well at least all those that have at least one chairlift! In most cases I've taken public transport, but sometimes car. Oh, yes, usually get a couple of Austrian and Black Forest resorts every season, so I can update anyone on those. I run a web site on Swiss resorts and have reports posted at my blog at http://www.swisswintersports.com. If there is anything you want to know about skiing, snowboarding or any other winter sports in Switzerland, just ask! Also open to learning tips too.
