If you only had one season to live and the world was at your fingers, what would be your ultimate ski destination, fantasy, equipment, people to be with.... whatever! What do you want to do on skis!?!

Lets hear it!

Very nice!!!

Almost a perfect season.
I think I would add
- Early fall in Argentina/Chille
- A film trip to Gulmarg India just to say I was there
- And probably Megan Fox to the Chamonix leg!

well it would involve stuff that already is on my bucket list..
alaska, japan, NZ, sweden, heli skiing, cat skiing, taking some sleds out for a couple days.. maybe around my home mountain not sure.
and actually doing some stuff in the park, and hitting decent sized drops. make an epic edit of it all.

so you have been to every said location on that list and you would go back to the bird anyday?

Only reason I ask is the only place I've skied out west is Utah, and I've thought about Jackson and Colorado and other places......

main goal is to ski retallack, meet Seth Morrison (havnt figured that one out)...

also bum for a year out west when im done my undergrad,

road trip to AK and ski some lines

the AK and retallack trip are the most realistic, bumming depends on how eager i am when the time comes.

just reading through all these posts, and it occurred to me... i've done a lot of cool stuff and visited some cool places over the years through skiing. i've hit whistler in may and rode 7th and harmony with fresh snow, and rode the highest level park in the same trip. i've been to colorado and skied awesome trees at steamboat. i just got back from the trip of my life in utah getting dumped on every day, culminating with cat skiing and near bottomless conditions at a completely empty powder mountain on a weekend. i'd love to get to chamonix next year if i can swing it.
