Here are mine from a Midwesterner in Ohio (was in Alabama previously).

A weeklong trip to the sandpoint Id area where my sister in law is working at Schweitzer. Skiing there and local areas with a side trip up to whitewater or red Mtn bc.

A second trip to sandpoint ld looking a lot like the first trip.

I don't know if I can swing it, but a trip to Tahoe. If my family does a co Xmas trip I don't think I can do both.

Heading 5 hours over to the Canaan valley area of wv and blue knob pa on a monthly basis when the snow is good and side country is skiable. I'll call in sick if appropriate.

Checking out the 300-400 ft hills near Columbus when I have to get some turns and getting 360s and other park steaz down.

Get my rapidly improving wife better.

Have lots of fun, meet more mags, ski with skirotica, hit some pow, do some tours and not get hurt.

Man I'm ready!

My best season cost per day was about $3, but that was long ago on a student pass. The more you ski the cheaper it gets!

Me: More sex, More powder in no particular order.

Kids: Oldest, Pull out of school on Powder days if he keeps up grades.
middle: get him less interested in straight lineing everythin, and to keep having fun.
Youngest: Get her to the point she can keep up with her brothers

Wife: At least 100 days, most with daughter after school drop offs for the boys.

Ski bum for 3 months in a new town maybe Bozeman or Revy and chase storms.
I have a passport this year so that should open things up a bit.
Hook up with a few locals to tour with.

One of my goals this season is to sack up enough to ski the Headwaters (and A-Z's) at all...with our without said diaper (but probably with).

Ski every month for an entire year(I can tour in the summer here)

Stay healthy
