At university and a couple of years after that that went up to 30-50 days a year less some more others and Japan 50 a year or so. thats ummmm Ok maby your right lets try 440ish plus or minus 30 one year and a couple of months.

daver 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 although i have been doing it for about 16 seasons, i think that only 5 count as 'real' seasons being that they were in the rockies and the others were spent in southern ontario. Link to post Share on other sites

marnix 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 When you are old it is easy to hit the 20. I'm way past that number. But years or even days don't have to say much about actual current skills. I have to admit I'm way past my prime. Guess that I am no better now than 15 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 In my case my skiing improved till I was in my mid thirties (started skiing at 23). Now I avoid monster moguls and heavy soft snow. Link to post Share on other sites
