    Thanks. One of the things I miss most about last season. Hope you don't mind if I add some stoke:

    This was totally awesome

    The hardest part is step 1, not step 2.

    makes me pine for my grad school days when I finagled a schedule without any obligations before 2:30pm every day of the week. Regular routine was to wake-up by 6:30, check the snow report, decide whether to do work or go ride over a cup of coffee (hint: it's never work at that time in the morning), leave the house while everyone else was up getting ready for work/school, drive the hour to the mountain, wait for the chair to start loading, ride until 1, speed back to campus, go to class until long after the sun's set, then stay up until midnight trying to stay afloat so you can do it all over again the next day

    Nowadays I'm lucky to bag one stellar weekday morning a season and it's always the day that the entire city is doing the same :-/

    Post work turns are very enjoyable also. Greatly facilitated by a good headlamp. Something in the 200 + lumen range.

    Once you have managed to find a way around the various impediments to skiing that seem to fill our lives (such as work and darkness) there's really no limit to how much you can ski.
