Wish List Ski Areas

[raisingarizona]

Where do you dream of skiing one day and haven’t yet?

For me ,

-Mount Cain, BC. A small locals hill with a vibrant community and two t bars and rad back country access.

-Shames, BC. Another small locals hill with massive back country touring potential.

-Aspen Highlands, Co. Aspens steep and deep mountain and a legendary closing day party.

-Dolomite super ski or whatever it’s called. The worlds largest interconnected ski area. I want the whole experience of skiing village to village and drinking cool red wine and eating sausage (or whatever they eat there) for lunch like in Dick Barrymore’s ski movies.

Those are the ones on my radar for now. I’m excited to explore anywhere that I haven’t been tho and I’m super fired up to get back to Taos.

San Juan Mountains, CO: Continental Diamonds

The small towns, cowboy mystique, and jagged peaks have been on my mind for years.

Wolfe Creek (good one TJ).

All of NY, most of VT. Bearpen and Bobcat. Pico and Burke.

Mt Abram Maine.

BOHEMIA.

I'll be back.

In the immediate future- Bolton, Suicide Six, Burke. The real wish list is a lot longer and will be more difficult to attain

I always had Taos and later Silverton on my wish list, but I think I've aged out of that. I made all the others, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Monarch looks good to me:

Monarch is pretty cool, but the base elevation is almost 11000. I could barely walk up the stairs to the bar at the end of the day.

Yea it takes me a while before I'm ready to sleep above 10k.

Me too. Plan is to check it out in Feb.

Red Mountain in BC is at the top of the list for Canada. Haven't skied outside the U.S. yet. The list is longer for Europe.

Locally, hoping to get to Canaan Valley using the Indy Pass. Also the "new" Timberline now that the Perfect family is turning it into a WV gem. Brand new 6-pack detachable chair to the summit in 5 min, instead of the old lift that took 14 min if you were lucky it didn't stop.

I’ve wanted to do Mount Bohemia for a few years now, but it’s just about the hardest place to get to in the entire lower 48.
