Pretty shocked this thread hasn't been created yet, but the air felt a little fall/crispy yesterday and I'm starting to get the end-of-summer-ski-buzz. Wondering how everyone else is feeling?

What are you goals and plans for the upcoming season? Any fun trips on the horizon? Any new tricks you've learned over the summer, or want to try next year? Got a new kit you're hyped on? Post what you're looking forward to here! (Let's try to keep this thread about skiing, lol?)

I've gotten pretty broke off the past few months, so just looking forward to cruising around and being on the mountain again!

its actually a really good setup too, Troll knows how to put on a good event. This was only about half the snow they had saved they said

When I walked around I went over to Valhalla and saw where they had it stored, there was Plenty more snow! Easily a couple more truckloads.

After being able to get back into skiing over the past couple years—I'm suuuper psyched to hit it this winter. Trying to get ahead of it with lift tickets and gear and what not. No more rentals!! Would love to hit some spots out West (TAOS??) considering I've been east my whole life.

trips ive got booked already:
banff for late november
chic chocs for december
switzerland for february
tahoe for april
mammoth for may
probably add a couple of road trips to lake placid and tremblant inbetween all that. really want to do tucks again too, but might not be able to fit it in.

Finally got enough touring/avy/wintercamp stuff to bring all of the homies on a multi day trip.

Still been working on the tramps to be able to put down a dub misty and a cork 10 on the snow.

Will probably start shoveling the hockey rinks to get my rail legs under me throughout the next couple of weeks.

The upcoming winter is gonna pass by in a blink of an eye.

I’m so stoked for this season. Yesterday I hiked/skinned up to a benign glacier that’s high enough up to have a few feet of snow and skied a few laps and built a booter. It felt so damn good to ski fresh snow and get upside down again after a long summer. So hyped for the snow to start stacking up down low and ski season to start up for real

You're right though dude. The biking has been so good as well as the weather and colors. Probably my favorite Fall thus far living here.

I can’t wait to ski. It’s like all I think about. There’s so much I want to get this season and the progression needs to start soon. Hopefully another month or so and I’ll be at it.

Those trips sound sick. Have you been to Banff in the early season before and if so, how does the snowpack tend to be on the freeride terrain?

I just started uni so I'm only gonna be hitting up some spots in quebec and vermont this season

early season is always a gamble with ski resorts. sometimes it can be great and lots of stuff is open, other times youll have just groomed runs until january/february.

my trip coming up, we are doing one day at lake louise just to get our ski legs back under us, then (if avy conditions permit) we are heading off into the back country/up the icefields parkway. the avalanche canada trip reports ive seen so far look decent. definitley bringing rock skis so i dont ruin my nice pair on the sharks.

good luck in school. i had a ball skipping class and going to tremblant during big dumps on weekdays when i studied at uottawa.

whiteface in ny is also a really close option with some sick chute/freeride skiing.

damn its looking really nice and decently filled in, hopefully you can get some sick backcountry days in.

I'm at mac which I'm coming to realize was a pretty poor choice for skiing but it is what it is. I was actually considering whiteface but heard it gets super icy and is no good unless you're blessed with the weather, ended up deciding to go to jay with the boys.

def better to go to whiteafce later in the season. its icy december to february for sure. "the slides" are too good to pass up imo. they feel like legit western gullies/chutes with some decent sustain.

there def some treeline "freeride" spots at jay, but they are so short imo.
