Hope to make to the top of mountain on the lift without to many embarrassing moments and can make at least one run on the bunny hill with no wiping out. My wish list for next season.
I think I would change my focus if I were you. Work on the bunny hill without wiping out first. Then go to the top of the mountain. Unless you are on a glacier and the bunny hill is actually at the top.
If me and my son can manage a box I'll be thrilled. May build one for the backyard this Fall. May even fiddle with a snow gun for the backyard. Have 90% of the parts already.
Riding switch at say an intermediate level, presses, medium boxes, getting air measured in feet not inches & tree riding.
Planning to take a lesson on our Spring Break trip next week, maybe I'll tick off a box or two before the end of this year. Oh and being less fat, probably should go at the beginning.
Heli trip with a couple of my mates. Wherever the snow is best when we want to go, that's where we'll head. Already saving for it. :thumbsup: Not exactly progression but it's pretty much all I want out of next season at this point.
I want to get "back into" the back country. Hope to ride at least one 14er this spring. I don't have a splitboard, so will have to snowshoe it. I'm OK with that..
Get at least slightly less out of shape, get some new outerwear and base layer(hopefully because I'll be in somewhat significantly better shape, so I'll actually need them.:laugh, and get confident enough in my skills to get off the bunny hill.
Season is not yet over... but I gonna improve my snowdance for more snow next year, further increase BC days - probably won't get a season pass anymore, Chamonix is high on the bucket list, spend the off season with planning the next snow trip
I'm working on comfortably riding switch, getting better in the park, nose and tail presses, smoothing out flatland 360s and riding trees and moguls faster and smoother.
Yeah we still have another month of snowboarding here!!! :yahoo:
Next year I want to heli-board for the first time, probably after a week of training at Kicking Horse.
I really want to cut off the loose ends in my riding and make it to the next level!
Also, I want to be the face of snowboard patrolling. So many people switch to skis once they start, and I want to be the in your face guy that sticks to snowboarding.
I've been to Canada in the summer (Alberta, Waterton Lakes) but have always wanted to snowboard there.... from a heli
I did my first all-day snowcat trip here this season and it was awesome, but a heli trip in Canada would be more awesome. A friend of mine has done Selkirk-Tangiers heli guides, if that sounds familiar- said it was amazing
next season: lockdown 15' and work up to 25'. do more boxes and start rails. remember to wear a mouthguard. work on switch. figure out a trip somewhere.
Currently saving evey penny to get to the Pro Ride 12 wk camp. After my supervisor told me what I needed to do to even have a chance of getting to her level in snowboarding (she used to compete in the US open).
