What did you do this season that sets it apart?

Whistler is the nicest mountain I've never seen!!

So true! I'd love to see something at Whistler some day - right now in my memory it's a whiteout with orange lollipops!

Skied more pow days than ever before. Actually only missed one pow day at my local mountain and we've had a record breaking snow season. Thanks unemployment or should I say funemployment!

Oh, you must have been there on a clear day. You saw the orange lollipops.

Spent a much higher percentage of my ski days in the bumps. Spent a much higher percentage of my non ski days thinking about skiing bumps.

That's my goal for next season....as per Lady_Salina's instructions.

It really has helped my overall skiing performance. I thought I would just improve in the bumps.

I'm skiing much later in the season than i ever have. Normally I'd have my fill of spring skiing by now but i kinda feel like the energizer bunny, i don't want to stop. Each spring i ski longer and longer. I'll attribute this to skill improvement and I've found it quite fun to get out there on a wider ski as well.

I can say I skied better yesterday than last month and better than in any of my 72 years of skiing. I remember thinking when I was approaching 50 that I was all done improving both skiing skills and stamina, but that was incorrect.

At 50 (15 years ago) I was just starting to get a clue as to what this sliding around on two boards thing is all about. I thought I was pretty hot stuff, but in retrospect I didn't know squat. I'd love to get 72 years of skiing in, but by then I'd be 107...

I was 68 when I started working at Breck in 2008. I'm "planning" on getting my lifetime season pass after 25 years here.

 

[Dave Petersen]

Not a good thing, but I got Influenza A on my "big" visit to Breck in March (even though I had a flu shot in the fall). Missed the last four days of skiing - it sucked, I still feel cheated. I just had to lay on the couch and watch others having fun all day -- it was like watching fish in an aquarium.

Was interesting, however, spending time in the medical office at the base of Peak 9. Somewhat entertaining watching the various ski/snowboarding injuries roll in.

This year I made 2 weeklong trips out west instead of just one. Sometimes things happen that make you realize that life is short, so better to ski more now, because you can't always bet on the future.

 

[Posaune]

I attended my first gathering this season.
I skied so many powder days I lost track.
I didn't buy any new skis. (!)

 

[David Mcc]

I took a long trip out west with my daughter. We drove out from VT with MC passes and started at Jackson Hole , then over to Utah. One stretch of 7days it seemed like we found untracked every run boot top and above.Headed over to CO on way home and hit Aspen (loved Highlands), Vail, Beavercreek, then Keystone for the finale.Seeing a lot of country, flat and mountains was amazing. Jackson Hole was our favorite. Definitely a "bucket list" type trip for me.

Something you both will remember for ever....

Elbows in front of ribs. You must work at having fun.

[jimtransition]

Rhishiri's on the bucket list. Maybe at the tippy top.

SO recommended, tricky to get the weather right though!

 

[surfsnowgirl]

I learned to let go a little bit and fell a few times. Learning to get out of your comfort zone a bit and push yourself a little is a good thing. Falling in powder is fun

I'd so love this to be true for me and of course to get some of Kneale's longevity. I told Trish when I skied with them that I was on a downhill slope ability wise until such time as I could ski another season. Seems to take longer to get back to full gas as you age.
