My 11th Season
- Start the season slow and ensure my ankle injury from last season does not affect my skiing physically or mentally.
- Work on improving my pole plants and cleaning up my turn initiation - from last year's lessons and probably next year's as well.
I felt better, but the proof is in the eye of the beholder. I didn't get my early season lessons like I had hoped to for reasons below.
- Don't feel compelled to ski sub-optimal conditions! Crappy, icy, crowded holiday weekends after a 7 hr drive, and when I'm tired from trying to get more vertical.
- More of a wish: ski a legitimate powder day on my new powder skis.
Two days worth of what passes for powder in New England!
- Ski all the single blacks at Killington with style, not survival, then think about a double.
Well, I did ski Cascade by accident. Not sure about my style on the others...
- Ski a new New England mountain.
Pico!
- Ski into April and on spring corn snow - I've never skied after the spring equinox.
- Ski 35+ days.
Family issues cut into my New Year's and MLK trips, but I got 28 days.
- Stay injury free! I would have hit the previous goal easily last year if I hadn't broken my ankle on day 17 in late January.
