Leaves are starting to fall in my yard, and in 2 months or less many of us will be taking the first turns of the new season.
Last season was a disappointment for most of us, and it's been a hot summer. Lessons learned and plenty of time to contemplate the season ahead with beer in hand and ski footage playing on YouTube. If you're like me you're laser-focused on making this coming season one to remember. One for the books. No matter what.
Every year we get a chance to start fresh and pursue a new strategy that we have maybe 5 months to set out and accomplish. Maybe you're throwing out the old playbook; maybe you're focused on a few refinements.
Whatever the case, I'd like to hear what everyone's goals for the season are. What are you going to do differently? How's your strategy been affected by last year's poor winter? How have you focused your stoke?
Here's the plan:
- Already scored new skis / gear for both myself and the wife. First upgrade to the 1 ski quiver in 6 seasons. My wife has also now graduated from the hand-me-down, narrow skis she learned to ski with. Stoke factor +1
- Aiming for a record-breaking personal best season for me, at least since I started skiing again 6 years ago. Have stepped up the BOGO / cheap ticket / club hunt and already have a collection growing on the front of my fridge.
- Get ass out of bed earlier. 10:00AM first chair ride is not acceptable. Motivate wife to participate in this goal somehow.
- Trip to Tahoe planned in beginning of March... 6 days, 5 or 6 mountains. Tickets already acquired. Can't lose.
- More weekday skiing. Vacation days= saved up.
- Ski off the 25 lbs I put on this summer. Starting to become a yearly goal.
