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.

Not get injured in the first couple weeks of the season. 09-10 season: broken arm kept me grounded for first part of season. 10-11 season: separated shoulder after hooking an edge off a jump a week into the season. 11-12 season torn acl and meniscus after three days on snow. No injuries for the 12-13 season.

Sick of my kids calling me a gaper so I'm going to learn a trick (in secret) and bust it out some time before the end of the season!!!!

Why not learn a bunch of tricks in secret? Sounds like a perfect plan.

Riding with people who are better than you will help you progress, so tell them to teach you something so that the title no longer applies!



My goals:

1. Have fun
2. No injuries
3. Shoot more powder
4. Tour more than last season
5. Sled more than last season

To be able to enjoy riding with 120+ waist skis in the park comfortably on rails and features rather than just hitting backcountry like the park.
