I have about 17 and still counting! It makes me feel old to think that only a few short years ago I put in over 80 days like it was nothing.

How many days did you ski this year?

16 or so for me. Just on one of my days off, as I was too busy running a lift!

So far only 31 days this season, but I'm still going for it if I can. Lift serviced skiing in the east has yet to end and looks like it will continue for the next 3 weeks or so. I would have liked to get more in but a job, school and everything else have hindered efforts to get out more. Hiking also isn't out of the question though...
Chairlift n. A transportation system found at most ski areas in which a series of chairs suspended from a cable rapidly conveys anywhere from one to eight skiers from the front of one line to the back of another.

Yeah, I haven't ruled out Tucks for a few turns, but I've never really done any non-lift serviced skiing before. Just a short hike to get from Cannon to Mittersill on the Taft trail. The hike up there seems a bit daunting to me, but I know that at some point I will attempt it with or without skis.

I did the climb while I was racing every year, age 9-17 (long time ago and with long boards) the hike is really no problem from Pinkham Notch camp. Not from Cannon. but what a rush skiing, depending on how high up you climb, in the upper reaches if you were to put your hand out straight you would push yourself backward a little.
My son in-law hikes up every year with his friends just to party.
Well worth it, if you hike in from Pinkam Notch.

I'm waiting for Independence Pass to open out here. Not the same history as Tuckerman, but the same kind of spring scene. Plus you can get dropped off at the pass and ski several thousand vertical feet down to where the road switches back, so it's a great shuttle run.
