So I made a thread already about school ski trips, but what big plans do you have planned so far. I know it is too soon to tell for some.

I decided to ditch the ski trip and my dad now has plans for me to go to japan and visit my aunt and cousin then spend 7 days in hokkaido. I am SO stoked

Last year i went to whitewater, red, revelstoke and kicking horse. It was pretty cool but the snow was shit. Some places hadn't had a powder day in over a month.
A week after we were there whitewater got 70 cm in two days or something.
bs

Might do a couple trips this year but they wont be big ones.

Start the season off in colorado with trips to the south like Silverton, wolf creek, telluride..then back to the I70 resorts, then jackson and tetons, up to montana then cruise the rockies of americas hat aka canada then over to Whistler, then down the coast through washington oregon down to cali. Then over to Utah. Then up to alaska for a heli trip or two. But this is all if my investments in powerball pay off. come on numbers 4 8 13 36 50 and PB 27! If not I am stuck with 150K in student loans and skiing the 5mtns of I70

Could be a little late for any good pow. If it's early April you could be in for a nice surprise. Last April I was in Mammoth and the night before we left it snowed six inches and we got a foot at my resort (on the other side of the Sierras). Do you have an idea of where you're going?

My family always does a 2-3 day trip out to Mammoth in early April and the park is in killer shape and there is still tons of snow on the mountain. I might make it up to Tahoe in February too, that's always fun. If my Dad really wants to go, we might go out to Utah for a few days over Christmas break. Might go up to Hood over the Summer too and get a day or two in at the public park.

ROAD TRIP. through CO to Utah for a week. skipping the $90 ticket bullshit. and skiing Sunlight. PowderHorn, and then in utah as many places until the money runs out. then on the return trip nothing planned other than driving over 20 hours non stop. (fun) haha

then more than likely a weekend in april back in utah.

heading to Bohemia, Jay Peak, and possibly Ragged Mt in NH.
Maybe Windham to try the Big Air Bag, unless one comes to Ski Liberty.

No firm plans yet, but my season normally starts with a couple days in Austria. Then I have this once-a-year biz trip that gives me a few days to play in the Rockies, so probably Summit Co. and Taos this time.

Money permitting, I wish to spend my January and February either on the snow somewhere, or in southern Africa or something like that where it's high summer.

Gotta land a job offer soon, or this won't happen.

My trips have included places in Eastern Europe and even more exotic spots.
