Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

I'll be at heavenly for most of the time because we have passes there, but we will take a trip or two to mammoth, I will have at least two days at kirkwood, and maybe one other place TBD.

Here's a list of the areas that I will be going to:
Bogus Basin
Tamarack
Brundage
Schweitzer (yes, I will get pictures of Stella)
Silver Mountain
Red Mountain (Maybe say hi to Allan if I can find him)
Big White
Silver Star
Sun Peaks
and possibly some others like Apex, Mission Ridge, Crystal Mountain and Fernie (kind of far to go to). But the ones listed above are for sure since we have hotel reservations. As for next year, I might be heading back to Colorado to do some skiing at Vail, Winter Park, Telluride, etc.

Then when I get back to Portland for a couple weeks R&R, as long as it's not a season like last year, I'll be up on Hood.

If you're going to be up in BC, you have to check out Whitewater at least for one day - only about 45 minutes from Red. Its a great little mountain with lots of great out of bounds stuff that'll keep you smiling days after. Take Allan with you - I'm sure he can get you in touch with some locals who know where the great powder stashes are hidden. Plus, a post-ski dip in nearby Ainsworth Hot Springs and dinner in the funky city of Nelson is a teriffic way to end the day before the drive back to Rossland and Red.
As for myself, a post New Year's ski week at Big Mountain/Whitefish has already been booked. If I can get motivated enough to actually drive somewhere on that trip I might check out Turner Mountain (a community run hill with one chairlift and 2000' vertical) near Libby. Otherwise over the winter I'll most likely be found at some of the Canadian Rockies areas (Sunshine, Marmot, Kicking Horse, Panorama). Fortress Mountain, in Kananaskis Country, is opening up again with new management so I'll have to go give that place some love and some of my hard earned bucks as well!

I'm going to try to take two trips this year (up from none last year) one to Bridger Bowl and one that has to be done to get on the Jackson Hole Tram one more time. Anyway hope that this year is as good as last and to be skiing before Halloween like last year.

Mt. Sunapee (My home stomping ground)
Okemo
Killington
Pico
Sugarbush
Sugarloaf
Sunday River
Attitash
Cranmore
Cannon
Loon
Crotched
Stratton
Bromley
and anything else I can fit in.
I have seasons passes to Killington, Pico, Attitash, Mount Snow, Sunday River, Sugarloaf, Burke, Jay Peak, Crotched, Mt Sunapee, Okemo, and Crested Butte, so I might have to take advantage of some of those. As well as many college discounts and free tix at some of the other areas listed. Trust me, I can get to many different places in one season.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

Seriously, though, probably Loveland, A-basin, and Monarch. Maybe Winter Park; it's on the Copper employee pass but it's quite a drive from my house.
