Fellow NS’ers,

What are your ski-related bucket list items? On-snow dreams and aspirations? Two-plank experiences that are worth pursuing and likely to produce durable happiness?

I’m setting long-term goals and am seeking inspiration. Thanks in advance.

I was just at the Las Vegas Sphere, crazy experience, and now I want to see a ski movie premiered at the sphere. Or better yet, be an athlete in the movie.

Is it a serious feature where I would need to get it out of the way in my 30's? Like can anyone with a good skiing background causally drop?

I'm sure it's not that extreme, I've seen plenty of clips of people who look to be in their 50's dropping in. I just don't think I'll enjoy the extreme terrain as much when I'm older, so I have a list of places I'd like to ski in the next 5 years or so and corbett's is definitely on that list

keagan.karstensProbably meeting some of my favorite skiers and getting to have a full convo with them on their perspective and how they see things in skiing and outside of it. Joona Kangas would be my first choice


I was extremely fortunate to have been close to a Jib League stop this past season (Sugarbowl). Something like that is probably your best chance. I showed up solo and got to chat it up/ride the chair/ski alongside a bunch of pros. I posted up at the bottom of the features and watched my favorite riders throw down 15-20 ft in front of me. Incredible experience. Shout out Jib League

Rail jams are really fun. I go to one or two a year and the hype gets you to throw some stuff you probably shouldn’t

had a similar experience back at cranmore in like 2004 - the dynastar team was on some sort of tour where they were traveling around the northeast stopping at a bunch of resorts to ski with (and offer a bit of coaching to) the local riders. there were maybe only 15-20 of us cause it was a small ass mountain at a time when hardly anyone skied park back then, so it was super intimate. we were all hiking and jibbing and it was so fun.
