What went through your head on your very last run of the year?

Some peoples final runs may have came as a surprise due to an injury, others may have gotten to ski a full season, opening to closing chair, 100+ days. For those who knew it was going to be their last run of the year, weather it be from a torn mcl or riding down from closing chair, what went through your head on those final rail hits and slushy spring turns?

For myself it hadn't even hit me until I came up to the very last feature in the park. The last rail I was going to hit for 6 months was right in front of me, and I took every second of it in. It wasn't anything special, I just launched over the whole thing with a little shifty tail tap on the end, big heavy head on the landing, probably looked like a fool but god damn it felt so good.

I thought this would be an interesting question, its just not something I've heard people talk about before. Curious to see what you guys have to say! Thanks fo readin brah

My last run was very mixed emotions. I was so bummed the season was done but at the same time my friends and I were having tons of fun hiking rails. But, I must say a few tears were shed on the drive home

With this being my third season working in the mountains, I was skiing down my final run wondering whether I want to settle down and start making a living or commit to trying to make a living in the mountains. Three months down the line I still don't have any answers!

"this is not how I imagined my season ending." I was skiing in a sling, two weeks post operation. It was one of the most rewarding runs I've had. Super long turns, just feeling the snow under my skis.

"I can't wait for my next day out" little did I know that my next day was going to be in my yard on a 6 foot pile of snow that I spread out to a 15 foot 2 inch deep run in that I skied in shorts in 70 degrees and hit the sketchiest small metal rail 8 inches off the ground.

Honestly probably was, although I didn't break anything I fucked up my Achilles tendon and could barely walk for like 2 weeks, totally worth it though that spread I did was legendary.

No idea, thought I was gonna get a day or few more in up at Jay. But most likely it was "fuck Stowe" because that's where I was.

"Fuck, I've gone pretty big. This is going to hurt my knee." As I sailed through the air over the landing for the kicker. Landed flat, skis stopped in the slush, got bucked forward onto my shoulder. "Hmm my knees feel fine, but my shoulder seems to be hurting a bit" ACL-less Knee was fine, but had a clean break of my collar bone.

My head feels fucked

Usually it's post season shit and I get a nice trick or something that feels good an say time to go.

If I thought "last run" Im sure I'd be dead by now.

Last runs kill.
