Winter 2016 ski line wish list
So this time of year I can't stop thinking about lines that I hope to tick away the following winter. I'm a total geek for terrain shots so hopefully others will participate and post up some pics of lines they hope to ski this coming winter as well.
This is one that I have been looking at for ten years now. It's in a fairly remote spot and to get to it you have to go by some classic reliables. In this pic it looks pretty straightforward but hidden behind the trees is a 25 to 40 foot drop-exit. The chute is very narrow and super steep. This pic is when there was a base of around 65-70 inches. I have seen bases get up to the 150 to even 180 inch range here on the biggest of El Nino years so I'm hopeful for this next season.
From a different angle.
Lets see your summer dream lines.

Two must visit zones for next winter:
Mica Basin in the Zirkels
A certain north facing ridge that got scorched in the West Fork fire.

I'd like to ski Lisa Falls Couloir...
Beyond that, I'm actually hoping to get to the Chic Chocs for a hut trip with my dad. No idea what there is to ski there though.

I'd like to ski the same lines, just all the way to the bottom.

I'd like to ski Stevens without having to wade across creeks. I'd also like to ski in the woods, I remember that was pretty fun a few years ago when roots, logs and stumps weren't a few inches from the surface.

I wouldn't mind ticking-off both the Slot and the Crooked (both across the fairway from the host location of the 16BBI) - perhaps on the same day
Screw the little boy, I hope it pukes white gold in our hills all winter

I'd like to ski off the top of Rainier. Winter summits are rad.

Not to hijack, but what classics must be skied that are at risk of not existing if we don't get at them in the next 3-5, or 10 yrs? Those are the ones that would be on my hit list - I'm thinking any classics around Taos etc.

Jesus man. I thought this would be a cool and fun thread but some of the replies are just depressing! Not that they aren't warranted with all things considered, I get it but dang. this is actually the first year in a while I am actually feeling very excited about but then again, a really good year here usually equates to a bad year to the north.

This, this and this. Broiling in the hottest driest summer in NWBC history...can't wait for winter.
