Plans in the making: 6 days at Breck/Keystone/Vail in February with about 12 people from Chicago, and Jackson Hole 3-4 days last week in March with the guys that do the bus trips up to Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois that I do all winter.
Also got asked to help chaperone bus trips this winter with the latter group - easy job, get to board on those Saturdays for free and probably make a little cash.
First day this season is Dec 10th, then a 3 day party weekend at a place in Wisconson.
Setting a goal for 20 days this season; got 15 last season and, turning 34 this year I'm so f'ing excited to look forward to another great season.
- 20 days for someone from Chicago sounds like a great season. Good luck.eegrek

One of my friends is getting a long weekend trip together Feb 3 - 6 to a place way the hell north of Chicago in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, called Mt. Bohemia.
People call it the best backcountry skiing / boarding east of the Rockies. It's like a 9 hour drive at least from here. Middle of nowhere. Built on the side of an old dormant volcano, 1,000 feet of vertical drop, some cliffs, two chair lifts, avg snowfall 270", no grooming.
You sleep in yurts and it's supposed to be an amazing time.

Go be inspired. This is the new Xavier De Le Rue movie "This Is My Winter." Mind blowing.

Got something for everyone to do if interested:
Put together a 10 - 15 song playlist that's your ideal riding music. I'm talking the music that would make the difference in you trying something challenging if you had it on your headphones. After last season I can't imagine riding without music. When I was in Breck it made a huge difference on steep stuff, just made the day perfect.
So, interested to see what some of you like to ride to. My usual playlists have lots of: M83, Mogwai (fast stuff) Telefon Tel Aviv, White Lies, Tycho, Daft Punk, Chrystal Castles, The Dead Weather, my friend's band Bible of the Devil, Band of Horses, Black Rebel, DFA1979, Editors, Hum, The Killers, Muse...
