Well i have had a couple of good pow days in Feb. But having kids takes alot of time. On the other hand the ski stoke I get from my 4 year old son is fantastic. And this season has just been a step in the direction of skiing as a family later. And while the kids are small my own priorities has to come 2.

I know, but for some of us that don't live at all the cool spots, well it's ending. That being said yesterday we had a small spring snow dump, so i hiked a small hill behind our house with my son the whole morning - stoked. But to you guys that aren't don yet please enjoy the rest of this winter for all of us.

People need to realize that the majority of skiers and people on here do not live near a large mountain where they will be skiing until May.

I live in northern Ontario and May is actually pretty doable on a good year. Of course the lifts are long shutdown by then, but I have hiked my local hill in May before.

Super effective season, worked as an jib - instructor in my home mountain! Got to ski 4-5 days a week this whole winter!
Pretty mush gone true the whole season injury free, super stoked, well up until now - witch meant i missed a trip to the alps!

Got some filming done for Crystal media, did some urbans, no gnarly stuff, but stoked anyway!:

Highlight was defiantly when i spent a week skiing pipe and figured it out!

Michael Williksen - A day in the pipe from ESDS SHREDCAST on Vimeo.

that's about what i wanted to share, hope others had a damn fun season as well! And enjoys the easter slush!

Also, this pic:
stoked!

Good for you. the winter in old Norway have been good this year. We started out skiing at Skei in Gausdal in november. Because of work I don't think i can make another trip to my cabin (its between Skei and Hafjell) but I hope to maybe get a day off in April and hit the mountains. Do you ski the Lillehammer resorts as well? and what was your plans in the alps?

Sweet! I hear Skeikampen is geting good! I shred Oslo Vinterpark and Varingskollen mostly!
I was suppose to meet up with my clothing sponsor and the team and shred Merible, and 3 Valleys for a week! - but hurt my hip, so i had to cancel it!
I've skied Hafjell a bunch of times, but not this season! I guess if Trysil or Hafjell is open later in April I'll check it out!

broke my LOOK PX12 bindings 7 different times. Just got the FKS 180 but my season is basically over because I'm going away for Spring Break and my mountain closes a little after easter :( Only got 25 days so far. All-time low. Usually average about 40+ days per year :\

Oh but i finally landed a front 4 out, i stomped lip slides, learned too buter kind've, and i finally started stomped 270s on and tweaked safeties...took forever. Finally getting a little more graceful in the air.

Pretty solid first season for me.

Can hit boxes/flat rails right and left foot forward.
Hit all other rail features left foot foward.
Got front swaps/blind swaps/blind surface on lock.
Can do those into all four 2s out.

Can straight air any jump you dare me too.
Zero spins/switch 1s.
Right and left spins up to 3.
Can right side 5.
Bunch of grads and such.

Had one really fun powder day, first time Ive ever skiied/snowboarded a foot of snow. Gonna build a summer setup and work on my rail game.

I'm so happy I started skiing, I progressed a lot further than I ever thought I would.
