I always see threads about planning a ski trip, but I have not recently seen a thread on where people are traveling this season or dream trip. I will start:

During winter break I am going to Japan for about 17 days - one week traveling around the main island and the rest of the time skiing in Niseko.

My dream trip was Japan, so I will have to think of a new one.

(P.S.: If you are in Niseko during this time, PM me. Also, while I am in Japan I will be posting on my blog: https://newschoolers.com/web/content/readblog/member_id/106844/).

I am going to Utah January 5-10. I have been on snow for the past 5 years and live in PA and the largest mountain I have ever been to has been Killington. I am super excited to get out west!

The Japanese culture was one major draw for my decision to go to Japan. I am going to be updating my blog while I am in Japan and I will definitely have a little bit on the culture.

Super B sunday=sick Damn good storm cycle

Last year was pretty much my trip of my lifetime, so far any way To the Don Sheldon Mountain Hut in Denali NP AK The place was stunning. There is a tr here if your interested

http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118171

This winter is a week here with the better 1/2 so that I'll be sweet  Fly in trips can be a crapshout especially above treeline terrain

http://www.skigolden.com

Japan would be sweet. op there is a poachninja forum check it out if you haven't already

My dream trip is getting out of the summer heat and making turns in South America but that would require making more $$ in the winter which could require less skiing. it's cool to dream though

Heli, that's the dream trip, so something like Interior / coastal B.C., a few days of drops in un-skied territory with blue skies, endless views, and all that. Yeah.

Other dream trips, Kamchatka, Iran, Morocco, the Caucasus, Hokkaido, I think it will take a lifetime and plenty of visas to cross off that list.

Realistically, mostly sticking to the Alps with a trip or two to Western North America. So still not too shabby, albeit expensive.

being a skier from jersey all my life and occasionally skiing vermont, last new years the week i spent in whistler sealed the deal for dream trip, especially since i had a boner going down spankys ladder for the entire half hour it took me since im a fucking noob haha.

Not trying to disrespect anyone from Iceland, but now would be a great time to visit Iceland because 1. the exchange rate with be very favorable, 2. rates at hotels and ski resorts should be cheaper than before because of Iceland's economic meltdown, and 3. flights to Iceland are fairly reasonable now (well at least from NYC).
