    40 days

    I was just looking at my work schedule for the next couple months and I will most likely have to work close to 40 days in a row from Oct 15 to Nov 19.

    But a benefit from that is I will have the opportunity to ski close to 40 days (albeit some partial days) between Nov 26 and Jan 13!!! And at that point in the season we still have 3 months to go!!!! This may be a record breaking year for me in both work hours and ski days. I know that doesn't sound like they go together but since the hours I am working are later in the afternoon and evenings untill 10:00 pm sometimes it will free up my mornings even more than the last few years to get some skiing in before work. Plus since I am not teaching any classes at the college this year it frees up 2 more days per week to ski in the a.m..

    Bring it on!!!! I don't care how many hours I have to work as long as I get some pow time.

    Hope you get 100+ this season Vin. I was just thinking that it's 40 days until ski time anyhow, my projected first day out is Nov.19. Can't wait!
    I should probably change my username to IReallyDon'tTeleMuchAnymoreDave.

    Only when the basketball teams have home games. So I guess you would say occasionally.

    edit: Just got back from hiking part of Easy Gully in the notch with the dogs and scoped a few small hucks from below on the Smuggs side of the notch. Pics to follow tomorrow maybe. Nothing too big, 15-20ft, but one nice double stage, Just have to be able to find in the snow??? But I have a general feel for where it is and I'm pretty sure I can find it again. Note to self buy GPS.

    I don't mean to piss and moan, but I have now worked something like 137 days in a row on the Bros, Argentina included.

    Worth it? Every fucking second.

    Upside?

    I better be skiing those biatches a whole lot this winter....

    Seriously though, I'm sure getting those into designed and into production and making sure you have a quality product is very hard, good stuff Splat. But going to Argentina to test said product couldn't have been all bad!!!
