sibhusky Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Went over my personal record for feet skied in a year today AND for feet skied in a day. Got 42000 in today and it WASN'T all on groomers. I am totally exhausted since the snow was soft and HEAVY. Now I can ease off the rest of the season.

sibhusky Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Posted March 24, 2006 How exactly do you measure vert? Get as tech as you have to, this sounds interesting.... I have an altimeter watch. But, if you know the vertical RISE of each lift you use and keep track of the number of times up each of the lifts you use, it should come out to the same thing. You don't track mileage skied, just vertical. So, for instance, if you were at Camelback (my old mountain), Nile Mile would have the same vertical drop as Cliffhanger.
adrian Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 its not difficult. she either uses an altimeter or just remembers the lifts she took.
Stevo Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 okay, i'm gonna mark on a board, with a dry erase marker which lifts i take .....one of these days.
adrian Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 good luck with that though i suggest you go back to the drawing board, the metaphorical one.
sibhusky Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Posted March 24, 2006 What I have also done is enter the lift number or an initial into the memo feature on my cell phone each time I sat on a lift. Then I sat down at night and took out the trail map for the mountain which showed the vertical rise (not length) of the lifts. Not all mountains make that information easy to get. I think that when Doug takes over stats, he needs to set up a database with the vertical rise of each of the PA lifts.
