What are you looking forward to most this season (2010-11)?

[Anklebiter]

This year's version of [thread="63524"]this thread[/thread]. I'm looking forward to a lot of things this season. Pretty typical list:

• Skiing together with my wife and kids as a family more this year
• Killington. Yep, I said it.
• Sundown bumps and mogul comps
• Skiing the MRV
• Hitting Magic and Berkshire East after a dump
• Skiing with AZers
• Returning to the Loaf!

You?

I guess, I'm mostly looking forward to my first ever trip out west (Snowbird,Alta,Solitude,Brighton).

I'm also excited about heading back to New Hampshire with the family.

And as always just looking forward to spending time outdoors with my wife and kids. I'm just having so much fun with them. They're at such a great age (10 & 8).

I'm down almost 25 pounds from the start of last season, 15 or so from the end of the season. So, looking forward to skiing while in better shape.

I sure you'll feel it on the slope.

Skiing with my wife, she has taken 2 seasons off :-(

Starting our son on skis. He will be 3.5 yrs of age this winter. The boy already has 2 pairs of real skis.

Skiing with the Sundown Crew. I have been a lazy slop this summer and have barely used my mountain bike. I miss my AZ crew and can't wait to lap Sundown's bump runs

Family trip to, most likely, Smuggs

Getting back to MRG and Magic

Opening day at Sunday River! I will never understand WROD haters, as for me the feeling I get that first day back on snow almost matches a powder day.

This would need a camera crew or it didn't happen

Just some camera-phone stuff would work for me.....with a personal close-up shot once in a while, cuz getting a Greg look-a-like...I wouldn't put beyond HighwayStar's efforts...

Getting back out there with friends and having fun! Hopefully lots of powder days, and spending more time exploring the woods and trees.

Beating 2knees.

Not winning in a competition or anything, just physically beating him. My bent pole demands revenge.

I miss my AZ crew

I'm also looking forward to our first group hug of the season.

We're good enough, we're smart enough, and doggone it, people like us. Just not people that want us to stop posting about Sundown.
