Your first trail of the season

Came up in a recent conversation I had while working. It's the first day of the season, you click into your skis and head up the lift. Pumped as hell, because its your first day, what do you hit first? For me, I usually do the longest trail at my mountain to get the feel back. Just interested what you guys do, park, steep trail, leisure, etc?

I always cork 9 blunt first hit on the first run of the season. 2nd hit is usually a switch cork 5 japan or flat 7

T2 on mid station. Its the only thing open early season and then depending if there is like 3 inches of snow past midstation I duck the rope so I can get a top to bottom run even if its a sketchy grassy run.

Probably T2 at Sunday River. I'll take Upper Sunday Punch first if it's open, even though last year it was super sketchy (whole thing was like 10 feet wide)

Depends on what's available. Typically opening weekend will just mean laps on the Quad at Schweitzer, trying to find somewhere fun with good coverage.

Oh my I don't give a shit at all. I've been through me second ACL last winter and all I pretty much wanna do is ski. I don't care if it's icy, cold, rainy, windy or whatfuckingever as long as there is snow.

And you know what? The moment I click into my bindings on top of the most fucked up bunny hill in the worst conditions possible I'll know, that all the pain and all the sweat of the last months was worth it.
