100 what?

So I had this ridiculous idea, that somehow got out before I was really committed, that I would ski 100 days this season.  I say ridiculous because I've never skied 100 days before in a season, and right now the snowfall totals are quite marginal.  This time last year was incredible, great snow, early start to the season, and motivation levels were at an all time high.  This season, being the antithesis of last, has proved difficult in accomplishing the 100 day goal, or at least getting off to a good start.  So far I've logged 2 days.  Two days of groomed runs, firm snow, and trying to get accustomed to my new skis.  In other words, this is quickly becoming next to impossible.  I'm still going to try though.
With the mindset of, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?", I am forcing myself to log these 100 days.  There are too many trolls and haters that would call me out too. Especially the guys that are saying they ski 200 days a year, have full time jobs, 5 kids, 3 wives, 2 dogs, and 1 leg.
So, here it is:
Day 1
12/8/2011 Deer Valley Resort
Bluehouse Radius, no snow




Day 2
12/9/2011 Alta Ski Resort
 With Jason & Manny


Smog Lake City off in the distance

Oh, I guess I need to make an entry of my trip to Chile in August, so maybe that will happen someday.  Hey, wait a minute... Does skiing in August count toward my 100 day thingy?  I'll have to get a poll going on that one.
