Since I have free lodging and now also a season pass I plan on spending as many weekends as possible at 7S. Can I break 30 days on Skis? I think so!

I am also planing a 7 day march trip to SLC with Queen. I have already done some research on pricing and stuff. I have talked to Johnfmha and tried to PM JohnL. But still need recommendations on where to ski and I am asking if the SLC Super pass is worth it. Also the stay and ski in park city are vs stay in town and drive to anywhere is now being discussed. I want to go somewhere that both queen and I can appreciate, ski together for the most part, and still have fun. We are both strong skiers however she prefers to avoid bouble black terrain, heavy moguls, and likes to alternate between groomed and ungroomed runs. I am getting increasingly comfortable on a variety of ungroomed terrain and I may end up trying some of the most challenging stuff if I feel on top of my game. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I will probably hit up Wisp for at least a day this winter. The add on is huge and I look forward to what looks like long direct down the fall line cruisers that cover a good amount (+500') of vertical. Something that wisp really doesn't have until now. That and the additional green terrain may make wisp the leading mountain in the area for rookie skiers and weekend warriors. They have really improved their appeal to the typical skier in this region. Bravo!

I also really want to hit BK at least once this winter, pending them opening their expert terrain. I need to cut my teeth once again on the best on piste black terrain this area has to offer.

And I plan on spending at least one late season weekend at T-Line. After skiing there for the first time last year I realize that no season is complete with out a little W Va powder

Whistler, BC
Pico, VT
Powder Mtn, UT

in addition to the local hills.

For Utah, stay in Park City for the best ski town experience. Rent a mid-size or smaller car. Check out (in decreasing preference) The Canyons, Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort (all are very close to Park City and there may be convenient buses you can take to the areas themselves.) For two days, drive to any of the following: Snowbasin, Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton. All of the drive-to areas have plenty of terrain variety, though Snowbird has the least amount of beginner/intermediate terrain. It does have a tram, which is relatively rare in the U.S. If it hasn't snowed in a while, expect Alta and Snowbird to have plenty of bumps.

Hey Tim, my to do list is filling out nicely. Think i've found a nice deal on a season rental in CV that will afford the opportunity to make new friends, chase storms and hopefully get 15-20 days in down there.

Interested in a telemark "beginners clinic" that was discussed here earlier in the unseason and i'd like to take a bump lesson.

Definitly plan on checking out Wisp again this year and I really want to get to canaan valley missed them last year. Couple of days, midweek, at the shoe, I WILL SKI LAUREL MOUNTAIN this year, i'm an optimist and we'll get some sundays in at 7 springs.

Just got the word on Utah, leaving march 3, skiing SIX days this year. Today's the first day???of autumn, won't be long now .

NEW BOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My old Dalbellos leak like sponges. I just wish that I could find my old friends the Flexon Comps somewhere. Got enough skiis to trash this winter. Looking at a trip of some type, somewhere different. Will try to get my usual 40 to 50 days in, and, for once, be in shape for the snow so I dont't have jello legs during the first few weeks.

1) Shoot for 20 ski days (again) this year - Mostly Tline
2) Skiing Blues with my 4 yr old daughter.
3) Hit Canaan and Whitegrass this year (missed both last)
4) One "unplanned" week snowed-in/telecommuting from the Valley
5) Weekend Skiing in CV/weekday cold-weather biking at home - trying to keep the 10 lbs I lost this summer ...well ... lost.
6) Cold beers and good cigars (I like Padrons, AVOs, and Buteros) on the deck at Timberline - basking in the late March sun and fresh snow (remember - 70" in March alone last season).
7) Try the whales and more woods this year.
8) How about a lesson? Haven't done that in way too long, I know I could use one.
9) Buy a taboggen - try the Blackwater Falls Sledding hill.
10) No trip out west (again) this year. Start planning one for next.
