Hoping for abundant snowfall in all regions for all the homies to enjoy.

Let's hear plans, hopes,and general stoke for the upcoming winter in the northern hemisphere.

Can’t wait for winter to come. So far have Breck and beaver creek planned, whistler and Tahoe. Thinking about making a trip to Stowe to visit a friend so may try that out. Have to mount the Countach up to use this season.

my guess is that CO opens for skiing on october 18th which is just 59 days away. we are probably like 5 weeks out from snowmaking orientation. couple of blinks and we’ll be sliding down the mountain!

Picked up 2 new pairs of skis during the summer sales and can't wait to get them on some snow. I'm also planning a 2 week trip to Utah and am really looking forward to that, especially since I'm currently living in CO but have somehow managed to never ski in Utah

We connected a couple of lines lookers right just off the lift line, so now there is a cool traverse you can ski through the trees and pick your line. There are so many secret spots though, I’ve been a season pass holder for 2 years now and I’m still constantly finding new lines, like I haven’t even skied the trails we were working on. It’s actually so crazy. Shoot me a message if you’re on your way up I’m always stoked to show people around.

Killington just got bought out by local investors and now I’m incredibly amped for ski season to start.

Hopefully this means that park crew is given infinite creative freedom.

well being owned by the same company that owns woodward was probably the best bet for continued park progression. i would be very surprised to see private investors match the emphasis on parks as powdr does. and i would loose my shit with excitement if a private investor went even harder on parks than woodward. i think the reality is that the parks will be the first to get slimmed down in the event of a bad snow year and then they won’t make a comeback after. its hard to prioritize when you don’t have the support of other mountains stability (aka the rocky mountain region) like these corporations do. but then they also don’t have struggling resorts leaching on them as well when there’s less favorable weather elsewhere. so its a bit of a double edged sword i guess.

People get stoked this time of year? Not me. The sport/obsession is too expensive it has to be closer to get excited. Nov 1 or close and yeah its on. Global warming also delays me getting ready.

This is my Japow season. I booked flights the past 2 seasons, but couldn't pull the trip together. This year it's for real
I'll be there for 2 weeks in the second half of February. I'm already way too hyped

I'm so stoked I've been mountain biking in the remaining snow patches and sliding down and dreaming about skiing.

The big goal for the upcoming season is to teach my 2-year-old daughter (soon 3) to ski. She's been doing some laps on the bunny slope last season.

well powdr is starting in as a minority investor so that should mean that the woodward name can continue so its probable that the parks remain the same for a bit

Not sure how you could get speed to get on top of it except for maybe a car push but i thought it would be cool to jump through/tap the center of the H

I like ur idea. I think carpool with a 5050 to 1 out or something would be sicker though. Esp on a fish
