1. finally graduate college after what feels like an eternity even though im only a semester late
2. move to a ski town for the first time in my life and ski every single day
3. learn all the tricks within my immediate ability level that ive wanted to for the last 2 or 3 years since i got into park skiing, but havent had the time or the location resources to get any real practice in because ive been going to school in fucking virginia. two weeks a year at various REAL mountains just isnt enough to get good when you start as late as i did.
4. progress, progress, progress, progress as quickly as possible. after about a week of getting into ski shape, try a new trick every day for a month if possible. shake out the cobwebs and the fear associated with trying tricks on mid-atlantic sheets of concrete ice. ive noticed after every trip to colorado or tahoe that i improve as much in 3 or 4 days as i do after a whole season in VA and PA skiing every weekend. i cant imagine how much ill progress with 100+ days of riding in legit conditions if i set my mind to it.
5. ski a fuckload of trees and powder as well...buying some fatties in about a month.
6. oh, and meet a lot of cool people and have the best year of my life
