What was so epic about your season?

Got to ski 11 days straight over at Niseko and got some nipple deep powder, amazing face shots just got a whole new stoke for skiing.
 
Manned up and actually tried shit and progressed and rode and fell harder than I ever have. Great season
 
Skiing deep pow for the first time, 28" at jay peak and 24" at killington, despite living in Maryland. That's gonna change when I move to Colorado this fall
 
landed my first backflip on my first try......its true when people say there is no better feeling than your first backy
 
Hot laps. There's something so awesome about lurking through the park in packs of 10. I also started learning A LOT of new tricks.
 
My skis and me became one. I learned how to flex them to the max, how to truly release them, get spring when I want and dampness when I don't.
 
Post Season Urban...

Also skied out west for the first time after skiing Minnesota my whole life. Skiing a bowl aggressively in park skis after a foot of fresh powder is an experience I won't forget.
 
Pow, knee to chest deep 4 days in a row, from tree skiing to pillows to big open powder fields.

It was the best, there were moments where you would be in the snow while turning and it was like snorkeling. It was crazy fun, best pow days of my life
 
Most of our crew at the mountain was heading off to collage which kinda made everyone better friends plus people were throwing down a ton.

//RIP 2014 Season//
 
skied a fuck load, like a 4-5 days a week almost. and i skied a run in the trees that will be burned in the back of my mind forever. the shit was unreal.
 
got to enjoy a great season living it up with some of my best friends, slaying park on bluebird days, skiing pow and dropping cliffs after getting 2ft storms on a weekday (nobody at the mtn) and loving life thats why i love skiing yhew!
 
It was my first season in the PNW after living in NY for 21 years. Skied the deepest pow of my life and dropped plenty of cliffs.
 
It was my first season since before the Navy I had a season pass and got more days in than any other year prior. Plenty of snow in the northeast. Got my first day in October at Killington and my last day in April at Hunter. Got to ski the trees at Creek in NJ for the first time. Epic year I'd say
 
I hit urban for the first time this year. My buddy and I made a jump in a parking next to a sloped hill and used a car tow us in. Finally grew the balls to huck shit.
 
Was?

>implying ski season is over

What has been epic about my season so far: First season living in the mountains. I lived in Minnesota until last fall where everything is a few hundred feet of shallow groomers and there are double blacks that are literally easier than Big Emma (one of Snowbird's greens). I skied some lines I have really wanted to ski since last Spring (I skied at Snowbird for a few days last spring). I got really comfortable on cliffs to the point where 15-20 foot drops are very easy for me. I hucked my first big air a few days ago. Crashed it, but I'll go back and stomp it next pow day.
 
the huge mental hurdles I overcame after my knee injury and realizing I can still be the same skier as before if I work hard enough
 
Risky post -

First time skiing and first season ever; something I had wanted to do my entire life, but never had the opportunity on anything more than a 100 ft hill, so I had always passed on that [maybe a mistake] and hit it full blast after moving to CO.

Went from being terrified on green runs to being intimidated, but capable on double black runs & backcountry by the end. Got the basics down enough to ski with my friends and I lost 65 lbs.

My favorite higlight was the third day after buying boots and my first pair of skis [190cm SFB] - got comfortable tree skiing, skied switch for the first time, did my first 360 ground spin, and my first double black run in one of the best days of my life.

I get this is gaper stuff, but I had to start somewhere.
 
What was really great about my season was my home mountain (Mount Jore) opened about two weeks before it was scheduled to open (they still have a bit of coverage on the mountain as of 5/1). Despite missing three weeks due to a partially torn meniscus, I still skied some great powder days at Waste Mountain and at Mount Jore.

I ended ski season right by skiing 8" of fresh snow at Whiteface at the end of March, even though the snow became really wet while skiing down the mountain.

Probably the best first post I've seen. This is awesome. Welcome to skiing, were stoked you're one of us now.
 
I learned a whole bunch, Michigan treated us real nice this year with at least 3 legit pow days of over a foot, which is unreal here. It was awesome.
 
I lost control in the air on a 15 foot drop and landed straight on my side. I wrecked the muscles in my leg and almost broke my femur. So it was pretty epic
 
Finally started to break my mental block for difficult lines and bigger cliffs. Most progression I have ever had in a season. Feels good.
 
Fake 9, flat 7, my standart cork7, frontflips backflips ect. Epic end of the season was gettin' a concussion, still haven't completely recovered, it happened 1 month ago.

Definitely one of the better first posts I've ever seen
 
Went from living in CT and skiing 10-20 days a season to living in Burlington and skiing around 40 days. Pretty stoked on that.
 
Didn't learn too many new tricks but I locked in so many different grabs and started taking jumps deeper than I ever have. Style is on the up.
 
Style got a lot better, skied the most i ever had, and hung out with friends a lot more. + no serious injuries
 
I was at Whistler in the lineup at Peak chair and a bunch of people were hitting Air Jordan and one guy ate it on the first drop and his skis got stuck in the platform in the middle so all his buddies hit it and then skied down and he chilled there and it made me wonder... so a next run I'm back down in the lift line at the Peak chair and his friend somehow cuts into the side of this platform, hucks his buddy his skis, almost gets hit too, and then he got the biggest cheer ever after he stomped it and rode out. It was Epic
