Your hit list

[mr_gyptian]

I too carry the Alta/Bird v-card.

Nelson/Golden is Public Enemy #1 for me as soon as Canada no longer considers me a felon.

Jackson on a day when the perfect storm is not hitting the mountain. I'm 0 for 2.

[Ubersheist]

My hit list is varied and includes some other places not listed here. However there are a few that I must hit up this year. These are:

1. Alta/Snowbasin - I had the BEST F-ING time there during this year's Mini. Like the swallows returning to Capistrano or the IRS bleeding me dry, I must make a Utah trip happen every year until I die.
2. Europe. Somewhere, anywhere. Bad_roo and brownmonkey - I'm heading your way for a EuroMini (if my wallet says it's ok, that is...) I'm not sure I'd even want to go unless I knew you two yahoos were around!
3. The cute girl with the lisp that works at the pizza place in town... oh wait.. are we strictly talking about skiing?

[Baconzoo]

NZ when my wife gets pregnant again.

Rootsey Resorts North West of Milan. Fly in for a long weekend slaughter.

[KrisSkis]

Hell...i just want to get off the east coast one day and get out west...never been and its calling me. And also we would love to get to South America too...11 yr old son is always drooling all over the keyboard looking at pics of Portillo and Las Lenas...anyone want him??

[Woodsy]

fernie
silver star

silverton

hopefully somewhere in sa this summer, but that $ would prolly be better spent funding the majority of my winter ski fund.

[Tippster]

Yogachica: I've been to Cortina d'Ampezzo which is in the Dolomites. It does not suck, but may be a little too "civilized" for some on this board. Definately not in the LaGrave league.

Buster: the only reason to go to Kitzbühel is for a little DH race they have there annually... Bring your cowbell - and yes, size DOES matter. You've never seen a party like that in a ski town. The skiing is ...MEH. A little low and small compared to the neighbors. Take the short drive to "Zell's" instead (Zell am See and Zell am Ziller) or go to Kirchberg.

My gotta hit areas:

US:
-JH/Targhee
-Mammy/Tahoe/
-Brighton/Solitude/Snowbasin
-AK when I win the lottery

Canada:
-Anywhere in BC and Alberta NOT called "Whistler/Blackcomb" - I've been there twice in the last 5 years.

Europe:
-St. Anton before they close the OB
-Val D'Isere
-Trois Vallees
-Verbier
-Zermatt/Cervinia/Courmayeur

Also, that place in the Caucasus (Krasnaya Polyana?) that was featured in one of last season's POWDER mags was unfuckingbelievable. That'd be in the "far future" category.

[sea2ski]

Places south of the Equator most likely Las Lenas.

Alta/Snowbird

PNW

[vinzclortho]

I'm just hoping Tuffy will show me around Mammoth! Oh and I'm stoked to be able to go back to Tahoe! Hope to meet up with the Kirkwood suckas at some point to see the goods there...but I really would also like to go back to Squaw..gawd I love that place. Hanging Gardens callin my name!!!

[p-tex]

1. Las Lenas - doing it in Sept. yee-haaw
2. Jackson - if the 05 Summit is there, I'm goin'
3. More time in OOOTAH!!

Hey Buster, move this up on your list to within 3 years. The terrain and vibe is better than you can possibly imagine, espically on a powder day. Remember to bring a hiking partner and all your bc gear so you can get to the really sick terrain.

[baseWeldr]

need to do a coastal sweep out the PNW way
need to hit the sierra, kwoodies got me jonesin for that place
need to, before I can't anymore, point em down forever rolling away in AK
need to go international, down or across
need to win the lottery

[crashnburn'd]

Utah next year
SA next summer

BC, Europe, Pac NW within the next 2/3

[freshies]

4 yrs ago i did a week long road trip to inner-BC (the powder triangle of fernie/red/whitewater/nelson areas, etc) that is seared into my mind forever.....it pounded every day/night and i had the deepest days ever.....must...get...back....

[sandytheskier]

1. Chamonix or Italy for sure next year's big trip.
2. Kirkwood
3. Crested Butte on a major pow day.

Nice! I'll come to you in the meantime.

What's very much on my mind is putting together a list of places that I can ski in the backcountry all winter long. Of the places I haven't been already, east Vail.

Oh, and Utah powder calls...

[Rusty Nails]

1. Alps
2. Silverton
3. SA
4. New Zealand
5. Japan

Have been, but will return this year:

Crystal (most weekends)
AK
Nelson/Whitewater

[InspectorGadget]

Alaska

Whistler

Silverton

Most like done in reverse order.



Realistically speaking, next year I hope to explore the Wasatch back country with some of you TGR folks. And a trip to Silverton is definitely on my 2004/2005 list.

[frozenwater]

My skiing resume is sadly lacking, but here is my list

everything in oregon and washington

[Toque]

Is Idaho in PNW

I hate that term though because BC always gets lumped into the PNW. It doesn't mean anything to people in western Canada.
