As this year's season comes to a close, what was the best day/moment you had this year?



For me, I was able to head up to Alpental for some blower pow on a Friday, a moment I hope to have many times in the coming years.

Made it to Whistler for a couple days, and on the first day it snowed 30cm. Best day I have ever had!

was one of the first people to hit lake chutes at breck after the biggest storm in years. like 3 feet of untouched fresh and then some really fun trees at the bottom that you can only get if you hit the chutes. so deep and soft

Best day of 2013-14 for me was when we spend a ski vacation at Alta Utah, so pretty awesome place. That was the best opening year for me, a memorable moment and bonding with my college friends. Lots of throwback memories,feels so good! ^-^

Had a day up on Blackcomb park that was just really fun all around, Whistler just never disappointments. Also did a Red Bull comp at my local hill which turned out to be a really fun session between a bunch of riders all over the course!

A couple weeks ago at Sugarbush, it was dumping all day and every run there were fresh tracks in the woods. One of those "free refills" days for sure.

I had some really good ones, any of you who have seen the Salomon free ski edit filmed in Rusutsu, I was skiing there some of those days. Had some bangers in Niseko as well.

This is probably my favourite shot of the season

A heavy snow but a pow day nonetheless at Bellearye and a pow day at mountain creek where we shredded in the woods which happens rarely to never in New Jersey! It's about to be a high of 52 when I shred Hunter on Wednesday so plenty of gnarliness left.

My season ended March 23rd. Best day was Thunder Ridge to Twin Lakes in the Kootenay Pass in January. 3 lines stood out, back to back: 4 step pillow line, a 15 foot drop and 20 foot drop.

Best 3 day ever was my trip to Revelstoke in end of Febuary, 85cm in 3 days. I dropped my biggest cliff drop there.

Yhew! God damn I love skiing, it's so hard to pinpoint the best day of the 2013-14 season to one day so I'll list a few.

Dumont Cup 3/29/14-Bluebird park day, watching the pros throw down while shredding the regular park in some soft spring mashed potatoes.

Then I had a day at Sugarloaf on MLK day that was absolutely banger vibes. Kept taking runs to America to spark up while shredding the shit out of Haywire with some good homies

The last one that comes to mind was a pow day mid Feburary at Sunday River. T'was on a Thursday, so there was absolutely no one there and we had gotten 18inches of soft snow the night before. Was getting freshies all day long with some of the good homies.

Threads like this reaffirm how much I love skiing

This day was just super fun. Threw some crazy stuff, had a high speed rope tow, and it was like 50 out all day.

Yesterday at Whiteface was surreal. A good 8 inches of fresh had fallen overnight and I was spending the night in Lake Placid the night before. When I got to the mountain in the morning, I took a good run or two from the top of Little Whiteface from the Gondola then went elsewhere for the rest of the day and it was unreal to me to see a powder day at the end of March in the northern Adirondacks. The only problem was that the further down the mountain you got toward the base lodge, the wetter the powder was.

strangely enough, closing day was my favorite, the landings were soft so i was trying a whole bunch of new tricks, i also learned to hand- drag over the knuckle. its such a fun trick so i just had a blast throwing hand drags over barrels and knuckles. just a great day
