Ahhhh, good ol' Pennsyltucky. BenWA and I were recently discussing (I think it was BenWA) the patrons at PA ski areas. Very interesting peoples. I've never seen so many 'Starter-jacket/denim-jean-wearing/out-of-control teenagers' in my life in one place (Blue Mountain). :nonono2:Quote:

i've probably got 1000+ days each at:
Song Mt.
Labrador Mt.
at least i'm dedicated
the crack of dawn - thousands and thousands
Squaw-lived there for 5 years. Have probably 40-50 days there when not living
there. So 600-700
Mammoth-Went there about 20 days a year in college, now get up there about
30 days a year. Probably 200-250 days total.
Bel Eayre(sp?)
Hunter
Catamount
Mt. Snow
Mad River
Those were from my younger days.
EDIT: I should include Mt. Baldy. I get to Mammoth 2-3 weekends a month but any weekend I don't go to Mammoth I get at least one day at Baldy, if it gets snow. The last three seasons have been very good, with plenty of days of lot runs. Baldy is really a gem, 35 degree pitches an hour and twenty minutes from Orange County.
I would say probably 20-30 days at Baldy. Maybe 20 at Alpine Meadows too.
Sugarloaf USA (Home mountain growing up)
Bridger Bowl (4 years of college so far with 40+ day seasons)
are the top two contenders
Then definitely dozens of days at many:
Sunday River
Lost Valley
Jackson Hole
Saddleback
Mt. Abram
And then single to a dozen days at many
Cannon: 250-300
Alta: 200
Las Lenas: 150
Snowbird: 100
Verbier: 100
A Basin: 100
Gulmarg: 60
Lots of other places, 20 or less.
