Just thought we could get a discussion going about where people might be over the next season, how long you plan to be there for, and if there are any goals for the season?

I'll be spending my second (with hopefully many more to come) season in Whistler, BC. Was meant to be just a holiday that turned into a bit more :laugh: haha I would like to improve my riding in steeper more technical terrain and work on park, Would like to get a 3 off a L jump.

most of my riding (as usual) will be in Michigan. have a 5-month old daughter right now but I am most likely going to get back out west for at least one trip, 4-6 days, probably UT but depending on weather could be just about anywhere. I am also trying to finagle my way in to a short road trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there is a resort about 11 hrs drive from me that is supposed to be legendary, by Midwest standards. It's just so far away though and with the newborn at home I will probably have to postpone that trip again... it's been onmy list for several years just haven't been able to work it out yet.

What happened to that plan of yours, it sounded perfect.

You should just decide to do it and stop thinking about the distance. Once you get it done you'll be glad you did.

Started riding about 20 years ago, never got a ton of days in, going for my 3rd good season in a row now, aiming for over 100 days at Loveland this year with the midweek pass. As of right now I can ride 5 days a week - don't work until 5 and it takes about 35 minutes to get from Loveland to Bergen Park for work.

Also planning to visit Monarch to burn some or all of the 3 free days, as well as a scouting trip during Silverton's unguided season (Dec) with at least one, hopefully two more from Jan-March.

Pray for snow.

-Get my season pass at snowtrails like every year.
-Driving to killington in mid November to get my early season fix in for 2 days.
-going to Copper CO for 4 days in january with some family.
-Will probably take my yearly weekend trip to 7 springs PA for 3 days riding and 2 nights. Will probably make a day trip or two their also. This is my favorite place inside a 4 hour drive of me.
-Will probably make a few day trips to holiday valley or peak n peak NY.
-Hopefully making a weekend trip to snowshoe WV sometime also.

Looking forward to riding with my kids for another year. Not sure when it will be my last season to ride with them as soon they will rather ride with their friends and the oldest can now drive himself.

Plus riding/learning more park, it will be at our poor Midwest ice hill but its what we got so it's what I ride...

Pretty much keeping an eye on condition in Tahoe, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. Have about 100hrs of paid vacation to burn, some out of state travel in the work. I really want to put an effort to learn about park ridding and considering hitting Woodward at Copper for professional help.

Sunshine Village and Castle Mountain on Powder Days

Got me a season's pass for Sunshine Village in Banff, Alberta. I will ride there 90% of the time. However, I will be using every meteorolgical chart and iPhone app known to man in order to determine when its going to dump at Castle Mountain in the Crowsnest Pass. If its snowing down there (2.5 hours south of Calgary) I will be there because there is nothing like a powder day at Castle with my bud TorpedoVega.

As far as trips, planning on heading back up to Stowe... If I stay for a week. Probably going to hit Stowe for a few days then head to Killington. Looking to go out West, maybe Whistler. Other than that, long weekends to PA to the spots around there and for the day trips, just headed to the local Whitetail and Liberty.

I'm in the Detroit area, and most of my local riding will be at Mt. Holly. My older son (turned 6 this summer) is switching to snowboard this year. (He was on skis that past two seasons.) And we're planning to put my younger son (turns 4 this winter) on skis and see how that goes.

I'm hoping for two "big trips" this season. One will likely be Sugarbush, VT, between Christmas and New Year's (yeah, I know...). The other will be the first week of April when my older son has spring break -- that will be Vermont again, depending on conditions, or maybe, just maybe, somewhere in Colorado. There might be a few long weekend trips to Nubs Nob (MI), Bristol (NY), or Seven Springs (PA).

I've got the snowboard bug, and its bad. In the past I had only gone once a year for a day or two, and only on 4 different occasions. After my first couple times on the mountain I recognized snowboarding as one of the most pure & enjoyable things I've ever done. Last season I started the my first day of the season with an accident that put me out for the whole season. I've been crazy eager to go back ever since. I've just bought my first setup, which includes a helmet this season ;) I plan to spend the 1st and 3rd weekends of each month in Big Bear (Socal) and make up for lost time and then some.

I want to work my way up to either pipe or park, and I hope to be reasonably comfortable in one by the end of the season.
