2009 Season Goals

[wa-loaf]

Lose weight, heal knee, ski more. Maybe hit up the Sundown mogul comp if the dates work out.

 

[2knees]

did you have the surgery yet?

did you have the surgery yet?

June 4th is the date for surgery. Went mtn biking last night and it feels really good. Kinda sucks I need to start all over again, but I'll prob appreciate the new acl when I start skiing again.

1.Figure out how to ski moguals
2.Get down Flying Monkey at Sunday River without hitting a tree.
3. Buy my season pass before I forget and prices go up.

It's pretty simple for me:

1. Hit all the powder days
2. No injuries which will prevent a full ski season.


anything else I do isn't a goal, it's just gravy.

 

[frozencorn]

25-days-plus
Improve tree-skiing skills.
More Stowe/Bush (only once each in '08)
Tux
Write a ski feature for publication.
Ski more independent mtns I haven't been to.
CA/CO possibility.

 

[MRGisevil]

out of curiousity, why whistler?

I've just heard really great things about it and it's been a desire of mine to hit that mountain for a long time now. I figure if I make it a goal I might actually go instead of spending yet another season whining about not going...

 

[2knees]

cool. leave some room in your suitcase please. :smile:

Dude we'll leave room in the hotel. Just tell your wife you got off at the wrong exit on the way home from work and ended up in Vancouver. She'll understand.

 

[kingslug]

Ski more...work less.
Get in a full week in Utah and hopefully get another back country tour at Alta.
Continue to work on my mogul skiing.
Go someplace I haven't been to yet. Maybe in CO or BC.
Maybe buy some powder skis.

 

[Mildcat]

My goal every season, HAVE FUN!!!

 

[hardline]

one word
Revelstoke

 

[Mikey1]

Get out at least one more day than last year (31)
try using shorter poles
Ski at least 2 new mountains - I have never skied in Maine - how about Saddleback and Sugarloaf
Get back to MRG - what a place!
Ski more with my kids - the oldest will be off to college in 2009.

 

[MarkC]

Ride Taos.

 

[hardline]

Ride Taos.

was actually thinking about doing that too. i have a project comming up that i will be going back and forth from texas.

 

[mattchuck2]

1. Win Lottery
2. Enjoy the rest of my life in Endless winter


More realistically,

1. New Skis, Boots and Tele Skis
2. Ski out west (Friends in Summit County, CO)
3. Tucks
4. PSIA Level III Tele (did level III alpine in 2008)
5. 100 days (?) - I figure If I shoot for the stars, at least I'll reach cloud 9

 

[severine]

*lose 40-45 lbs by 11/15 (which for some reason I have picked as the start of next season)
*learn to ski bumps, even if it's not pretty
*get my confidence back that I lost after my knee injury
*25 ski days
*Get up to MRG and out west at least once in the season
*learn how to land small jumps (those accidental jumps were the cause of my injuries this past season)

Somehow I forgot getting out on skis with my daughter. I'm not sure how I'll do with her as I'm not that advanced of a skier, but since I won't get to see her ski unless I go with her, I'm looking forward to it.

Practice skiing backwards next season. That's almost a prerequisite for teaching kids unless you go the leash route (which I don't like).

 

[severine]

See, I knew the twin tips would come in handy! :lol:

 

[snoseek]

Once again quit my job in the fall-in a blaze of glory this time. Ski 100 or so days while working for myself. lot's and lot's of planning between now and then.
