Utah is still getting snow this week. I really shouldn't say "still" because it's been so long since we've gotten a good storm, but better late than never! With all the resorts that have closed the season I ended for many.

Tell about your season!
How many days did you get?
Where did you ski the most?
Where all did you travel to ski?
Win anything?
Learn anything new?
Meet anyone rad?
AND
What was the highlight of your ski season?

Season was amazing
Got 60+ days. Have one more coming up.
Skied mostly at 7 springs
Traveled to Utah and WV
Won 50$ in gift card money, and a yowie
Didn't learn too much. Cork 7s and back 4s.
Met Meeks
Highlight would definitely be about three weeks ago. It was a total huck fest all weekend. Everyone went up and was throwing down. Two of my friends landed their first dubs.

Went to the UP Michigan. I've never seen more snow in my life. Boston's season total is only a third of the average that the UP gets.

I wish... I only skied mont ripley in hancock. their park was wicked fun though! jumps were a little wack but better than what I usually get. Also they had a few sweet tree runs. snow conditions weren't perfect according to the locals because they hadn't had snow for awhile (a week).

Peek N Peak NY
Holiday Valley, Killington, Loon
A few things here and there
How to use a camera
Yes a lot of people
Mr.Bishop, Turner, Nutz, Travais, the tabarnak pack, LJ strenio, Tall T dan, Kevin Merchant, Kirk Scully, The Bunch dudes..just to name a few..

The highlight of my season was meeting all these people and re lighting my passion for skiing. Prior to this season i was losing my love for the sport and meeting doug and the rest of those guys really made me realize how important skiing means to me and how awesome this sport is.

Thank you to everybody that made this season the best few months on snow I've ever had. Im excited to spend many more years getting rad and sliding down hills with some awesome people.

Spent the season at big sky/moonlight this year and sent some of the gnarliest lines I have ever hit. I did go down for half the season. When I went down people though they saw a dead man tomahawk into a tree stump then into a living tree then into a pile of sharp rocks. Helmet was toast.

Season isn't over yet here. Heading east to ski the loaf and tuckerman ravine in may. Want to send center headwall this year if the snow and crevasse hold out or at least chute.

I did manage to ski bridge for 2 days this season but I had no real reason to go anywhere else more than an hour away.

Didn't win anything

Got way more comfortably riding big mountain

I guided two ns users at big sky this year and pretty sure I scared the shit out of them lol.

Highlight of my season is always at tucks. Season officially closes for me when I hike up with my friends from back in maine. You get a very nice way to close out the season and I love seeing all my close friends again.

Had a great first season back on skis after 7 years of snowboarding
probably have around 80 day so far with a few more to come hopefully
Skied everyday at Blue Mountain, ON
Didn't win anything
Learned rails and regular and switch 1s and finally got 3s on medium size jumps
Met a guy that works with my friend I've ridden with for a while and ended up skiing almost everyday of the second half of the season till he went back home for the summer
Highlight of the season was remembering how much I liked skiing again and turning that into a passion

99 days so far. 100 will be this Saturday, and hopefully at least another 5-10 days still to come.
Skied mostly at Sapporo Teine, Rusutsu and Mount Racey, plus various other local hills around Hokkaido.
Didn't travel. Where would I want to go to from here!?
I got 2nd place in a pond skim a couple of weeks ago!
Didn't really learn anything new, but then I'm pretty old now! Stoked to land a few backies off natural features though.
Met a load of overseas film crews out here this year. Was also really cool to meet a few other Newschoolers who made the trip out to Japan.
Highlight of the year was January 4th. 80cm snowfall overnight and a bluebird day at Yubari Mount Racey. Seemed like we were the only people there and we got deep faceshot laps all day.

i'm a Minnesota kid. just took a visit to Michigan Tech. cozy little place but I'm not going because I'd have nothing going for me there (outside of school), Houghton is super isolated. In Minnesota I have everything and it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

69 days and counting,
Probably skied at Purgatory the most,
I went to Summit County a lot, Aspen quite a bit, and then took a trip to Mammoth,
I got second in the Aspen Open rail jam so almost?
You'll have to look for my edit to see what I learned ;)
I met a ton of rad people, making a lot of really good friends,
And the highlight of my season has definitely been spring in Summit County. It's way too fun.

60 days and counting.
Skied a ton at keystone and a basin and a little at Breckenridge and Beaver Creek. Made a trip out to Aspen for xgames.
Overall it's been a pretty scattered season for me. I've skied half my days and snowboarded the other half with equal parts park and powder on both. Regardless of what I'm riding on a given day though I've had tons of fun on almost every day.

This was my first season actually skiing park and I had the time of my life. Never pressured myself too hard or stressed out over trying to learn a ton of new things so I only really got 3s and basic rail stuff (2s out).
Got 35 days.
Stayed on the east coast.
Didn't meet anyone.
Didn't win anything.
Learned the basics.

Win anything?

Meet anyone rad?
AND
What was the highlight of your ski season?

I only have about 35 days on my season pass and haven't gone skiing the past month because of school. But I live near hood so I can probably get another 30+ days on snow.
I mostly skied at meadows, but went to Tline a few times.
I went to Montana a few weeks ago and they had about a foot of snow the day after we got there.
Nope
I learned back flips, how to slide rails, and getting down my 3's.
Nobody
Montana trip was rad because there was a great tree run off of PK's at Bridger.

My favorite season yet! (First year skiing)

Probably got 70ish days, was obsessed with skiing from day 1
Minnesota hills like Hyland, Buck Hill, Trollhaugen
Went to Colorado for a weekend
Didn't win anything :(
Learned everything I can do - Rails, front 2, back 2, front 4, how to hit jumps, 360s, 180s both ways, ski switch, switch 180s both ways, switch 360s, HOW TO SKI, ski slide on rails (one foot things, refer to Andy Parry), Unfortunetly pussied out of backies
Met like 50 new people or so
Definetly meeting all the people from THE COTERIE like Steve Stepp, Kurcher, Sandy Boville, LJ, Wesson, Khai Krapela

First season riding park. Learned 3s 3s with grabs did a 5 or 2. 270 off both ways and I can comfortably hit all kinds of rails now. Learned some other stuff that's just the main stuff. I hope to learn a ton more next season. And possibly flip before this season ends.
got close to 45 or 50 days in I think also.
Best winter western new York has had in a crazy long time
my town got 231 inches this year instead of our average 182. #beastcoast
