Basically, what's the number one thing that you really want to do or learn next season and why?

I'll start, I really wanted to learn how to front 4 out but due to some lack of stoke and being a pussy it was only the last 2 weeks of the season where I really started trying them, nearly landed one but it was already last couple day and never did. Now the season over, I'm stoked and itching to throw some more.

Thank you. I've actually been here since 2013 but I'm not particularly computer savvy and can't login on the app using Facebook which is how my old account was registered.

Making some fat turns

Maybe, maybe dusting off some old tricks.

More spins, expand my bag of tricks.
I just got rid off my cataracts, so it's going to be my first season skiing with perfect vision. I've been blind all these years, can't imagine what it's going to be like skiing this season

I can't imagine what it would be like to ski more than a day with foggy vision. I once had to ski with extremely foggy glasses under goggles since I somehow fucked with them or something. I tried to make the best out of a shitty day at the hill but fuck man it's scary. Stoked for your now clear vision tho man.

Most important hands down is to not get injured like last year. Other than that I'd like to do some backflips and send Dominator on blackcomb

You might want to think it's just melted snow on the floor in there but it's not.

mostly just ski more and find more people that want to do the same, and then a few specifics

- get more comfortable/familiar with Colorado's snowpack in order to actually be able to safely ski some more interesting stuff when it snows.
- for the spring: Silver & Elvis on Buffalo Mt, East Couloir on Hallett, Grizzly and Hourglass on Grizzly, Shit for Brains and The Trench on Black Mt, Banana on Chiquita.
- ski some more 14ers

Depends on how early we get snow, but I'd recommend waiting till at least late December / early January. I did mine around the 15th of December I think and there wasn't much snow to work with. It's a lot more interesting when you can talk about more than just the ground facets and play with some actually layers.
