My record must be from the 08/09 Whistler season. Besides for a few days off due to injury and a coule of days in Vancouver, I pretty much rode every single day. Must have been somewhere near the 150 day mark. I think at one point I rode something like 90 consecutive days.
Last season I hit exactly 100 days for the season. I found more of a balance between riding and work. I was happy with 100 days.
I've done 11 so far this season. I think my goal is somewhere around the 100 day mark again, hopefully more.
I think in Australia the most I did in one season was about 40 or so days.

My highest was 83 days in Whistler 10/11. I really wanted to get 100 but had some injury problems. Can't complain too much with 83 though
Second best was 14 days in Oz this year.
Question for all the 100+ people, is that including days that you worked on the mountain (like lifty etc)??

not sure on exact numbers for my first season in Whistler was probably 80+ non work days
Last season I hit around 100 days in total not counting my work days - pass was reset to 0 when I was laid off so lost the total unfortunately.
Average work day would include 3-4 runs minimum.
So far this season I think I'm up to around 12-13 days so far.

For me, yes. I was teaching though, so usually spend the whole day riding anyway. We also had morning sessions where we get to rip a couple of runs with other instructors before the mountain opens to the public. Second half of the season the gondola keeps running till late, so we can head up after work with the other instructors and do a late top to bottom run.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, the season I did approx 150 days, I was super lazy with work and would always try to get days off to go riding with my friends. I think I only taught about 30 or so days. It's actually how I met Michelle; she was injured and I was hanging around trying to get the day off.

Most I did I think was 136 at Whistler. I dislocated my shoulder that year and missed a month too! That was riding 5 days a week.
Last season was pretty good: 59 while still working full time har har har

my first and only season in Sweden I did 85 or 86 days. would have been more but I had two pretty bad bouts of sickness that kept me out for about 10 other days I would have liked to ridden.
