Sign me up with Silkskier for cat skiing in interior BC!
After winning the lottery I'd love to go heli-skiing for a week too. :smile:

At least 1 day on every continent that has lift served skiing!

At least 1 day of skiing in all 12 months of the year

Ski at least as many days a season as I am numerically old age wise for as long as possible

To me, bucket list implies that the task you want to complete is something that is difficult or hard to obtain. With that said, the ones that seem really out of reach for me are:

Chamonix
La Grave
Verbier
Las Lenas
Niseko (Japan)

Obtainable resorts are:
Jackson Hole (8 hours by car)
Telluride (6 hours by car)
Silverton (6 hours by car)
Whistler/Blackcomb
Banff Area
Revelstoke
Kicking Horse

Of the obtainable ones, I'm really interested in Revelstoke but seeing as the resort is less than 10 years old it's a little harder to find info on it.

I'd also like to ski Smugglers Notch (Always wanted to ski there when I lived in Mass but never got a chance), Magic, and Saddleback.

I've skied in 8 states and Whistler BC. I'd love to ski Utah, Alaska, interior BC, Silverton. There are many, many places I want to get to on my bucket list. Having young children has really slowed me down the last several years! :) Bucket list goals 2014-2015. Ski October-June. Ski Burke, Middlebury and Suicide Six to complete all Vermont mountains. Ski Whaleback with Xwhaler!

Done South America and BC/AB. Love to make it out to UT and CO. Of course Europe would be great but I don't see that happening any time soon.

You need to get the Fox 44 card since Middlebury S6 and Q are all on that card.

Hey, to each his own. At least now that he's knocked that out, traveling to CO or UT should be a cinch

Seems a little backwards, no?

You call it backwards I call it the road less traveled. South America was more of a trip of opportunity (honeymoon). Interior BC was more because we were a little obsessed with skiing Revelstoke and Kicking Horse. But as SkiNEWhere mentioned, planning for UT and CO should be cake!

Don't mean to harp (alright, maybe a little), but I'm just waiting to hit Xanadu.

It was more creative manipulation. I sold her on the beaches, vineyards, Patagonia, etc and left a few days open so I could plan out what I wanted to do lol. It was an amazing trip!

Yeah, but now we really have never seen what MadMad has to ski with for skis!

I don't like to brag but it is impressive if I do say so myself.
