If you could pick just one day of all of those you have spent on the slopes, which would be the best and why?
I'm going to give a multi-part answer.
Emotionally, it was March 2005 at Killington skiing down Ram's Head with my father. It was our last time skiing together before his ALS weakened him too much to continue. It was a simple blue groomer, but that one run will be forever in my mind. I can still see the joy in his eyes as he loved skiing so much, even though at that point he was too weak to do anything beyond a blue (and he had always kicked my ass all across the mountain).
My actual best ski day ever was heli-skiing in BC with my dad in 2001 (or 2002??). We had a midweek day where there was fresh snow and we were going through very sparse trees. There were these 4 - 5' drops all over the place and just skiing fresh powder, with regular drops, and a great rythm between the trees, was probably the best ski day I've ever had.
Hopefully even better ones are still in the future
