Last spring @ wildcat, sunday river, saddleback, the loaf. I will always remember how crazy that was.

This year at monarch/crested butte with 90 inches in one week, skiing went from crap to incredible in a few short days. last week at steamboat was nice

March 16th at Campgaw - 2 hours in heavy snowfall during the St. Pats storm, nobody else there for most of the time.

March 18th and 19th at Belleayre - great conditions after the storm, bluebird days.

December 21st at Belleayre - most of the mountain open and great snow conditions, no crowds.

April 20, 65 degree day at Killington.....bliss

March 17, Bluebird day in the back bowls of Vail

Feb. 16, My first day out after the Valentine's Day storm at Killington, with deep, deep powder in the trees.

Dec. 21, Stratton. Not quite on par with the above three, but probably the best Dec. day I've ever skied.

The other 25 or so make the list, just not as high.,,,,,

My best days were Feb 13-14 at Burke. Untracked almost every run during the storm on the 13th due to the snow filling everything in constantly.

In my mind, northern New England
My most memorable days were:

February 17 at Burke: Burkeapalooza and remnants of the V-Day storm
February 18 at Sugarbush: Still dumping after the V-Day storm
March 17 at Mad River Glen: St. Patrick's Day storm
April 7 at Sunday River: first meet-and-greet
May 12 at Tuckerman: first time
November 10 at Sunday River: earliest I ever skied
December 20 at Wachusset: powder and tree skiing in Wachusset
December 31 at Stowe: powder day and trees!

But the best day was the last. Awesome!
