Here are some of the feels I get after a great ski day, compared to just good

- Vivid replays of specific runs right before falling asleep.

-Tough getting my jeans on cause my legs feel swole.

-Doesn’t matter what I eat/drink at Apres cause got so many runs in.

-All worries seem diminished
 
Did I drink plenty of beers? Did I do enough runs? Did I get some wild turns in? Did I fucking send some steep shit? Did I not get totally broke in the park?

= winning
 
When you end the day not wondering if you could have done more.

When going first to last chair seems like nothing.

When you huck something or have a great run and are super stoked after it. Having a bunch of those. Or doing something new and nailing it.

In general you just know. It's a feeling. I've had ice and pow days that I was super stoked after. But a pow day always takes the cake.
 
If I'm riding in sunnies, beard caked in snow, a little tipsy, and smiling so hard it hurts. From a good park run, blasting some trees, getting some fat turns in or just bumping fast. Riding with friends usually gives bonus points to stoke level.
 
If I am out on the hill its unusual to not have a great day. Each ski day is a bit different. The other week it was well above freezing after 18 inches of fresh snow fall. I was super bummed that it wasn't a blower pow day like I was expecting. Ended up drinking beer and skiing groomers with some new friends. It still was a great day
 
when i take my boots off at the end of the day and my feet hurt so bad because I was hot-lapping too fast to even think to unbuckle my boots on the lift.

when i take my balaclava off and rub my face real good for a few seconds and it feels better than sex.
 
-when your knees are sore from doing bumps

-you did a run/trick you never did before and did it smoothly

-feet are sore after taking of boots

-theres a little moisture in your boots
 
-Learn a new trick or hit new rails without completely destroying yourself

-Ski all day

-Ski with some new people

-Good mix of park and flying around the mountain

or, in my case, i can always tell im satisfied because i don't speed on the drive home haha
 
If its a really good day I subconsciously look for side hits like im still skiing on the drive home
 
After I'm done skiing I like to ask if I slashed some turns and got a little sendy, chances are I did, so then to cap off another day skiing instead of doing somehthing else less fun than skiing, I have a few beers and head home. Its a wonderful thing
 
Pow day: Did I send it as hard as I could every lap?

Groomer day: Did I get the perfect slash at the bottom of the slope?

Fuck around day: Did I fall at least a few times trying shit I have no right to even attempt? Did I land something new?
