What are your goals for the 2022-2023 ski season?

[ilovepugs]

If you are a goal-setter, what are your goals for this season? I have a few this year:

- continue progressing my bump skiing and comfort in varied terrain
- practice riding switch on my snowboard more often and make myself do it whenever I’m riding (except in powder of course)
- get through the season uninjured!

What about you?

1) My top goal has been the same for too many years lol.. to continue progressing in bump and tree skiing. I wish I had an actual metric to evaluate my progress toward that though. Obviously I've been falling short of whatever internal mechanism I'm using to measure since it's always my goal!

2) Finally do a ski week at Taos to see what all the hype is about!

3) Ski with my favorite band in January at Beaver Creek!

4) Stay healthy and uninjured to accomplish all of the things and trips planning this season.

Clearly bumps and trees are the going theme- ditto. I mostly want to get more comfortable with easier bumps and trees.

Staying uninjured is probably the top goal. Having strained a calf muscle early last season (on a groomer), it's a clearer thought than before. The strain didn't fully resolve for quite a while so even though I was able to ski challenging terrain, I dialed it back on occasion.

Getting back to Big Sky was the goal when I was planning out the upcoming season. Can't wait to check out the new lifts.

My goal is just to ski more! Pandemic + new routines + puppy + different job have all manifested in ways that have had me skiing less the last few seasons and I don't like it.

Ski more. Last winter I was training for the CCWC's. So lots of indoor training. I in fact told the coach on Sunday that I was not pool paddling this winter. It's a 2 hour drive each way, for 1 hour in the pool. Not really feasible in my mind. I'll work on my home P'erg during the week and ski on the weekends...

- Ski LOTS more: finally get to do 2 BTB Adult Ski Wks at TSV and then stay there several
more wks to practice what I learned.
- Progress onto Black terrain at TSV; ski Lorelei run
- Bumps and trees, like everyone else
- Finally get to meet lots more Ski Divas (to see what the hype is all about, LOL), and ski
with those I've met before

 

[Amie H]

1) Not bust my arse
2) Visit some new places
3) Ski with my dad and/or sister

 

[Dtrick924]

Finding new midweek ski buddies among the Divas and/or getting comfortable skiing by myself. I lost my regular ski buddy in 2018 and haven't been back on the slopes since the pandemic started.

Get a better brace for my knee/remain uninjured.

Ski trip with my brother in the Berkshires depending on his health. Our last trip together was Feb 2019 when we went to NH. We'd like to make a loop and ski Catamount, Jiminy Peak, and Berkshire East.

All the best for all your goals ladies, I'll be watching from down under xx

- I also have the goal of continuing to improve my bump/tree skiing
- Learning to ski switch and do some small jumps in the park. I often ski at small ski hills in the Mid-Atlantic and learning to do some basic park tricks would be fun and to help keep things interesting. I have no further park goals/interests beyond that.
- Continuing on the lifelong journey of working on improving my carving technique

Mines simple, actually ski. Have not skied in 6 years for mainly mental health reasons, so I’m excited but nervous.

Make the occasional improvement and not completely backslide into what I usually do! Hanging out on snow with friends. Breathing fresh air and generally enjoying the world.

Are you skiing in Vermont this season? Stratton?

I live in Ludlow near Okemo in the winter. So I ski there and Stratton, usually. I take over 50 season long group lessons at Stratton. Fun times!

Fun! I don’t make it down to Stratton but if you ever wanted to meet up at Sugarbush or Killington on a Sunday, I’d be up for it!

 

[BlueSkies]

1. Stay healthy and uninjured
2. Have fun
3. Ski 50+ days
4. Have more fun
5. Visit at least 5 new to me ski areas

This! Always this. To be this comfortable in the trees.https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eeqFoHQq5/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
I wanna be more like Sierra.

Continue to work on my right leg strength which I realized yesterday is still weaker than my left. Take some runs in the spring and recapture the joy of skiing.

I just want to end the season with the same number of bones and ligaments I started with. To stay safe and enjoy a full season with no injuries or falls for that matter. I’m currently working on losing weight (9lbs down!) and doing a lot of run/walks to up my endurance and strengthen my legs - to reduce odds of injury and simply be able to ski longer ski days.
