First snow hit Utah today, setting some goals here:

1. Don't get hurt
2. Learn consistent 360s/switch 180s, also try a backflip first true powder day of the year, land at least another backflip this year
3. Skiers right broom closet if the knee is feeling good; also hit death chute center line
4. Get better at skiing bumps and moguls, learn to make controlled turns coming out of stuff at high speed and ski it more fluidly rather than a sketchy-ass straightline. Overall ski more fluidly rather than just ski to line and hit line
5. MT trip
6. Get up earlier for powder days; more first tracks in the Gad 2/tigertail/pearly gates area, that place is magical in a way I have a hard time describing
7. Start learning the basics of ski touring and avalanche stuff
8. Get at least one day in at DV for no reason at all
9. Give more presents to lifties
10. Ultimate goal if I get super good at backflips out of nowhere: Double backflips
11. Ski more park days at Woodward PC
12. Don't get super tuned up on hill this year
13. Mt superior in the springtime if no avalanche danger

macfiveRoll out your outer leg with foam roller, everyone I know, including myself, who has had this issue fixed it by consistently rolling out the tendons in your outer hip and thigh. Maybe do some yoga, specifically crossed leg and pigeon pose.

Thanks Boss! I'll give it a try! I know my left side is significantly tighter than my right, I'll get after it.

MaimHelphow you gonna do that at psu lol

I skied 6 days a week for most of last semester so I don't see why I couldn't do it again.

I know of at least one person living in a van in the beaver stadium lot so that could be the move.

Just got a gym membership


My goal is to tour and not feel like my lungs will explode.

Other than that, pay off my pass. Maybe get a few good pow days in. Not get a concussion and get through a season healthy

Get corked more, do actual tricks on big rails, not just low to the ground ones.

Get more confident with my 3s. After that, start doing grabs with them, then on to 540s and sw 3s. Generally I want to be more confident, help me improve my cliff jumping, and I also want to explore a lot more in the sidecountry. I'm also looking to get into park a little, so it would be nice if I could do basic rails confidently by the end of the season, maybe front swaps as well.

BradFiAusNzCoCaAnd then a backflip maybe. Idk. No rush on that one. I used to do front flips on skis and I used to be able to back flip standing up. So I don’t feel like I need to prove anything regarding that.


Send it dude, it'll be easier than you think. I couldn't even do them on a tramp before taking it to snow and it worked out ok
