Thankfully managed to squeeze 7 days this winter, given having our 2nd lil grom just before the season. This winter was extra warm compared to our already declining warm winters here, so didn't feel as down with that few days. And super thankful my lady was very supportive of getting some days on hill, esp from a mental health pov .
Here's a line on the 57 Passport in 10°C end of season slush, day 5 for me iirc. Don't mind my super stylie jazz hands, as per first commenter .

I'm calling it at 6 days, my season's over. I hoped to squeeze in a couple more days but between heavy work load at a new job, toddler, and some (minor) health issues for the wife, I don't see myself getting away. I had a fun season regardless.
We are trying for our second (knock on wood) so I probably won't get a pass for a few years. Will probably bum Sugar Bowl and Kirkwood buddy passes off friends, or visits to REALLY small resorts like Donner or Granlibakken.

Beautiful tommy
why thank you!
sorry to hear your season got cut short kimchi, but life happens unfortunately. making a family and planning for the future is worth sacrificing powder turns for. sorry to hear about your wife's health issues, we all take health for granted until something happens it seems.
i am trying to get everything out of my seasons recently as i know this situation won't last forever, and trying to be grateful for this life i have.

The two I enjoyed alot this season. Had a great time on the 58 SK, but also re-confirmed that I still prefer my 57 Passport more as the DD. Think a board right in between the SK & Passport with regards to flex and liveliness, would be my sweet spot now (SK = ~6/10 flex | Passport = mild 7/10). And a little less setback too, the amount on the Passport is perfect for my style of riding.
Didn't get to ride my Select Pros this winter. Will def try next winter .

"Maybe more tomorrow" was right. Day 50 was one of the best of the season. New snow, hot pow, long sunny weather window within a wet forecast.. more tomorrow, but most likely will be wet as forecast

Local hill closed today. I injured my hip flexor about month a go and it's still bad. I had to go to get few runs in.
