- wandering off groomer looking for fresh snow around the edges, occasionally a bit of glades and off-piste. Maybe a little jump if it gets in my way
- some bumps - no good at it but always give it a go once or twice
- powder days, when and if that happens (east coast NY/MA/VT)
- and last but not least, chasing my 8, 12 and 14 year old sons around, plus a fair bit of backwards skiing with the little guy
