New year's has come and gone - hopefully by now you've had a chance to kick your hangover and wash the smell of cheap champagne out of your clothes (here's to you eheath).

Maybe you're even healthy enough to ski again.

That being said, what are your new year's resolutions? Skiing related (this is ski gabber), but after that feel free to share otherwise.

My area of skking is the greater tahoe area so currently here are my resolutions

1) go skiing
2) go skiing on natural snow
3) ski a line that would legit be filmable in terms of gnarliness and fluidity.
4) meet and become friends with some snow sliders who can frequent tahope with me


other than that, just ski as much as possible.

Have as much fun as possible every day on the slopes, and ski as many days as I possibly can.

Pushing your own limits is fun too.

Damn, that one is real.

ACL is the worst man - but you'll be back at it this time next year for sure, stay up on that rehab and you're going to be back the first day of next season.

Finally sack up and at least try a backflip, 270s on and off as many ways as possible, sw ups, get some more grabs in, work on my actual skiing technique a bit more so I can rip some gnar terrain...

Stop getting injured so often! So get stronger and more flexible.

Get some decent shots of me spinning off cliffs/pillows.

Clean/on lock 7s and sw 7s and Rodeo 5s, 4s off.

Flowing and fast bump skiing and super dynamic groomed run skiing

Make an edit that I am proud of.
