I get about 50-60 bc days depending on how long the spring pack lasts. And at least a hundred on the hill. It's a big part of my life.

OK, I know we are sort of cheating, but when it gets snowy here we put Mattracks onto the Defender and drive into the mountains behind our house. We try to take the kids out and look for powder once or twice a week when we are in town.
