This year to give me some extra motivation on those long uphill sections I've created the vertical challenge. Basically I'm going to see how many vertical feet of climbing I can rack up in a single season. Right now I think 50,000 feet is well within reason and I'd love to put the season ending total somewhere in the neighborhood of 75,000.
The rules:
1. Only vert climbed with the intention of skiing counts
2. Only uphill vertical counts
3. All vertical climbed will count, even if the snowline is above the start of the climb.
4. Due to the challenge of keeping as accurate a total as possible, for a climb to count as vertical, it must be achieved without the use of ski lifts: ie no taking a lift then hiking. If the lifts are on windhold or shut down then any vertical gained by hiking is countable.
5. Have fun, its not like there's a prize here except lots of suffering :-)
