Describe your perfect ski season.

I got a job at a desk, so I've been doing some day dreaming.
What does your perfect ski season look like?


Is it living in a camper and chasing storms around BC with your sled?
Living like a grease ball in summit with your friends?
Ballin' out in Denver and flying your private jet to Aspen on the weekends?


I think mine would start in the Southern Hemisphere in August, shredding some big mountain stuff in NZ, then maybe hop over to check out the Slvsh cup.
After that I'd head to Stubai for the prime park session or whatever they call it. The jumps out there look unreal, with a beautiful backdrop. I'd love to shoot all the great skiers that come out.
CO early season is pretty fun, too. So I'd pop over there and hang out until the snow started getting deep elsewhere. Run down south to Silverton etc for the big December storms.
I might stay in CO all the way until January, when I'd head to Japan to pick up a van and romp around Hokkaido. For a month or two.
I've never been to Europe, so maybe February into March I'd explore the alps. Maybe BC instead of Europe, depending on who was having a better winter. Or both!
April would be time to come home and enjoy the glory that is spring skiing in the cascades.
May/June would be spent on a sailboat in either the Norwegian fjords, or Iceland. Touring and skiing to and from the boat. That is dream trip #1.
Already being in that part of the world, I'd try and head over to Zermat to ski some with Will, Sami, Rob and the crew.
Then it would be time to start over again.

Mine would be having a super dialled RV, one of those huuuuge 50 footers with a trailer full of sleds, chasing storms across the powder highway in bc with all the boys, ending up at whistler for late season and glacier skiing

Realistically?

2-3 Colorado trips and a SLC trip. Ski 3 or 4 days each time, hope for a powder day each trip

October/November in Colorado

Then I'd chase the snow from December till the end of March to hit urban. I'd go to Minnesota for a couple of weeks - I really want to ski Trollhaugen - and in Finland for like a month, there seems to be too many good rails over there. I'd hit some stuff in Quebec/Ottawa too since that's where I'm from, and there's a bunch of good spots. I'd be skiing at resorts every now and then just to stay sane.

I'd spend April home in Quebec and hit the hills that are still open and have good parks. Spring here can be either super good or super bad.

I'd head to Whistler for the month of May, then go to Hood in June and July. Woodward at Copper looks fun too, so I'd probably go there for a week.

Then in August I'd go to Perisher till the season ends there.

Id head to Perisher to slip into slvsh and ski down under
Then go to stubai, always wanted to go there
Head back to MN, hope trollhaugen opens on Nov 4, but it usually never happens
Ski Icy, ignorant, janky but fun Hyland through Christmas Break
Head out to Utah in January to catch park laps at PC, then some at brighton and maybe a day or 2 at alta
Then directly head to a friends cabin in Tahoe, catch a pow day possibly
Come back to MN to hit the tow rope again a bit, have some sleep overs on the weekend because I'm 12
Go to Whis, looks dope, would love to fuck a Canadian chick someday because why not
Come back in March, catch some slushy laps in MN
Fly out to CO in april for spring slush
Head out to Hood in May-June to catch some public park laps

REPEAT

Do it. Your rail style would work well at troll, especially because of some of the fucked up creations they make over there. Also, go to Duluth for urban, there are some spots you might find in Minneapolis but they aren't as plentiful

Just letting you know if you ever come out

I guess it would be go skiing in New Zealand for the summer and going on some heli-ski adventures, then pop back stateside for 5 months for some skiing/touring around park city/canyons, then go to California and ski Lake Tahoe and Mammoth for springtime, and then go skiing for a few weeks in Northern Sweden and Norway, and then go back to New Zealand.

New Zealand and Australia from late August to October. Pop over to early season Park City for November. Film urban skiing in PC and Utah in December. Visit my parents and family and ski the east for a week or two at christmas time. Go up to Whistler and film a tiny bit of park but mostly BC and powder for all of January. February, hit the streets again. Filming almost non stop (Not really sure where). March, Film powder in Japan for two weeks and then urban in Japan for two more weeks. April I would go to film massive lines in AK just like the TGR setup. In May I would settle down, go home to my family in Massachusetts and then go to Peace Pipe Jam at Mount Snow. June and July I would split my time with Windells and Momentum. Filming the entire time. August is time to relax and edit that year's film.





Repeat.

I ski 100+ days a year so I think my dream year would be to ski 150+ days, and everyday either be a warm bluebird with good speed for park laps or deep pow days.

Park laps from 11- close everyday. Get trashed and fuck models every night. 6 or 7 fatty dumps would be appreciated. Lots of powder. Even more nose powder. Let's fucking party.

A season out in BC and Alaska with tjschumm98 chasing storms in our passenger bus. Pimped out trailer pulled behind for our sleds and ski quiver. Hitting up the small resorts that don't have insane lift tickets and back country. Once March rolls around blow our left over money on hopefully a cat/heli trip if we've got a hookup. If not then just keep living the life and save the money for next winter. Spring rolls in and spring ski at all the resorts. When summer hits we find jobs with contractors and bars. Work our asses off and then prepare for next winter.

If you have ever seen the surf movie "The Endless Summer" Its about these surfers who travel around the world following the summer season from California, to the west coast of Africa, around the cape, over to Australia, New Zealand etc... Its a pretty legendary surf trip, however if this was translated into skiing, I think it would be just that much more rad. Perhaps "The Endless Winter". I would start in New Zealand, I would then go explore the Andes in south America. Then work my way north into the US as winter in the northern hemisphere began. Hit some new slopes in California, Colorado, and some old favorites in Idaho and Washington Brundage Mt and Crystal Mt. head from there to Canada hitting places like Red Mountain and Whistler Blackcomb. Up to Alaska for some sick pillows. finally as summer begins I would try and hit some great spring skiing and win some pond skimming competitions!

I know there has got to be some sweet hills throughout Europe too but I just don't know enough about it, Ive even heard of some sweet hidden gems of mountains in Iran.

My dream ski season?

Hugo comes into my office ass naked and hides somewhere, thus closing down the office for fear of a big-dicked psycho trolling around the air vents. He is not found for 5 months, during which time I'm not allowed in the office, but I'm still paid my salary.

Then my house is infested with mythical creatures, rendering it uninhabitable but unscathed. Still, I have to stay out of it while the mythical creatures breed and eventually migrate away. Nothing can be done. Alas, the only place my insurance has available (I obviously bought the mythical creatures package because I'm not an idiot. Thanks, Jake.) is a ski in/ski out condo in Vail.

So I'm forced to live full time in Vail with no work to go to but a continued steady paycheck.

Also, my wife comes down with a strange illness to which she can't stop playing videogames. The only cure? Giving blowjobs.



Your dream isn't as good as my dream.
