[Part Time Vermonter]

I'd like to visit Jay and Stowe next season and head out west again if I can on the monoski.

I'd also like for more snow in VT so I can get in more days on the board than this year

Improve my tree/glade technique

Possibly buy a pair of high end boots like Dales.

Nowhere new. Just Mt. Snow. Never got a response from Shawnee.

Save Magic!

It's usually the same: Stay healthy and ski as much as I can.

I would like to get my little one skiing totally independantly....I still have her on a leash, although, she doesn't really need it when skiing green trails. Once I get her a little more stable...I'll be able to take both girls without the wife on those days when she doesn't want to ski!

 

[2knees]

to ski killington on May 2nd!!!!

 

[Greg]

Haven't set any goals, per se. Stay healthy, ski with the family a lot, and hot up some powder days in Vermont are probably the primary ones. Haven't set much in the way of technique/performance goals. Just gonna ski. The rest will come.

2010-2011 Goals

Well, the season has started for some of us and is within weeks for the rest of us. What are some of your goals for this season.

For one thing, one of my goals was to get started ASAP with just one day on WROD, hopefully in October. I missed opening weekend at SR and slightly missed my October goal, but got to Killington on 11/3 for a good start.

Hoping to get 50 days this year... hopefully a lot more snow to keep me motivated than last year when I didn't even get 20 days at Burke. Also hoping to get it into May this year... got mono last spring which ended my season a couple weeks early.

 

[WJenness]

Make it to some new mountains:
Killington (already bought two K55 tickets)
Burke
Stowe (groundhog day promo is my goal if they do it again)

Ski more ungroomed stuff (was a goal last year, but it was tough with the long stretches of no snow we had last year).

Chase a few storms.

Have fun.

Ski with AZers more.

[Smellytele]

Not much of a goal setter but

Ski a couple of new places Magic and Bolton Valley

Never pay more than 50 bucks to ski

 

[Rushski]

The thread title had me scared. It reminded me of the "goals and accomplishments" gabage I go through at work every year.

Always looking to add new places (to me). Goinf to Tahoe in February should help as I didn't ski Squaw or Alpine Meadows last time I was there.

Also, get my new boots to fit as well as they can, no matter how many trips I have to make to the shop.

 

[drjeff]

I'll stick with my standard ones that if I accomplish usually has me quite happy at the end of the season

- ski atleast 40 days

- ski on every day of the week (Mon - Sun) - means I've taken a ski vacation week

- No significant injuries

- Hopefully still be able to outski both of my kids (although that could be getting real close with respect to the older one by seasons end )

 

[redalienx11]

ski a couple new places in the east

ski with my mom

not have to buy new skis

ski denali in may

 

[St. Bear]

The thread title had me scared. It reminded me of the "goals and accomplishments" gabage I go through at work every year.

I agree, but if you write down your goal you are something like 8 times more likely to accomplish it, so there's a reason work makes you do it, and that's the same reason why I'm going to post in this thread.

My goals:

• Double digit days
• Ski moguls with smooth rhythm
• Try to get at least 1 powder day

 

[Skimaine]

Similar to last year:

Injury free

Lots of days with friends and family

Progress and more confidence in moguls and un-groomed

Sample some low-angle tree skiing

Ski switch more than 10 feet :dunce:

Turns at Loon and Whiteface
