Patrick, I think you missed the memo, but Tony has decided that as head moderator, he will delete areas that are less than 700 verts ("molehills") from ski-day counts in this thread. To save time for everyone, you may want to adjust your totals accordingly.
14 days (more than 7oo verts), however the AVSSAV (Average Vertical Size of ski area visited until now) is 342m (1,142ft). :mrgreen:
Here is a reference to last year's discussion...

I'm sure Patrick's not done. :wink:
Something I never do, is take my next ski day for granted. I'm old enough to know that sickness, accidents happen, even off the slope (ie. December back injury or car accident with injury while driving for Tremblant's last year back in 2004). This winter has shown me more than ever, never take anything for granted. Go one day at a time.
The events of the last 2 weeks have stressed that more than ever. Ski now, because you'll never know what will happen around the corner. Lucky invited me in the Chic Chocs in May, however I don't even know what I'll do next week, so many things to sort out. I've already burned off 2 weeks off work and just got back this PM. :?
