- the b-flip.....but i do have 2 fronts under my belt now!

i've thrown front flips before, just never on purpose....

seriously, thats pretty nuts. I would think the backflip would be much easier. not that i'll ever try one on skis.

I know..I had sand in my vagina..

didn't land a 360 (didn't even attempt)
didn't ski a new NE mountain

+1

Exactly those 2 for me, except I in fact did attempt a number of 360s resulting in backwards and sideways crashes which tested the strength of the skin covering my heels as well as my neck muscles.

No Saddleback, MRG, Burke, Cannon or GOS this year. Despite getting into a training regimen in the summer, my endurance still sucked at the end of the season. I guess I have to hit the gym earlier. Starting now...

+1

Spent the fall doing ski-specific exercise regimen and actually felt less in shape than last year when I just followed my normal routine. Chances of buying a Skier's Edge as a result? 90%.

I know..I had sand in my vagina..

+1

I too came down with a sandy a few times, including yielding to my gf's desire not to ski in the rain 3 times, as well as yielding to work requirements that allowed me to get to Camelback midweek only 1 time. Finishing at 27 snow days when the goal was 30, it easy to see I could have hit my goal if I had been less of a vadge.

Didn't get out West.
Didn't try any new NE resorts.
Didn't get any powder days in.
Didn't ski enough bumps.
Didn't get my boots modified to the point where I'm happy with them yet.
Didn't demo new skis.

Did get back to Greek Peak finally.

I skied way more than I expected but traveled way less than I expected. When you're on an austerity budget, you drive 2 miles to ski where you have a season pass rather than blow gas & lift ticket money that you really don't have. Between Christmas and Killington closing, I never got farther than 5 miles into New Hampshire to do shopping.
