I would venture to guess that most of the T4T crowd has fulfilled the majority of this list. At any rate, there are a couple of pretty good pics in this thing, including one that I think is a boarder hucking the Icefall in Tux.

Great ideas, but would add one: ski a line that possibly no one else has done. Could be not so far away.

Apparently I have a lot to do this season, but definitely some good ideas there.

Tua's has a good idea, I'm sure if T4Ters came up with this list it would look quite a bit different.

yeah, brother moose has it nailed, it would be different and hard to assemble as a list. Then again the Globe's list is a good one.

Not sure I care about the Snowcat at the Bush, but the three races have definite appeal!

An ammended goal: Skiing All of the historic Class A race trails, even if it means restoring Dartmouth's Hell's Highway on Moosilauke

Another might be skiing off the summits of all the Four Thaousanders in NE.

Interesting but a little upscale for me :)

Mine would include such things as;
- Blaze your own trail
- Get lost and find your way out with compass and headlight
- Have knee surgery
- Fix ski pole with branch and duct tape
- Fix a binding with an old guitar string
- Assist in rescuing another skier/rider
- Some things I did Mad River college that I can't mention on a public forum
- Take a Club Car at the Loaf
...

Now that's what I'm talking about. ChickwithPicks got me back to running this past summer. We did a few races, included the Montreal Marathon. I completed the Demi and rather enjoyed being able to walk without too much pain the next day. I really like the idea of the Ski Tour.....I love our friends to the north!

BTW, Made my first real turns of the season last Wednesday and the running really paid off....I still hate running!

By 'marathon' they actually mean 100 miles (160k) but over the course of two days that is very manageable. It looks like a lot of fun.
