2026 Skiing recap

[expedition_retirement]

We began the season with plans to ski a little more than three weeks at Steamboat, Beaver Creek, and Vail. While the snowfall this year in the Rockies was disappointing (i.e., record setting low levels), we still managed to enjoy so reasonably decent skiing. During that initial 3+ week trip, we also set personal bests for the most consecutive days skiing (15 days in a row). And with the bonus week at Copper Mountain, this season's 27 total days of skiing was a personal best for most days of skiing in a season for my wife and was just one short of my personal best of 28 days (from last season). In some ways, because it was all compressed into a five week window, it felt like a really short ski season. But twenty-seven days of skiing is substantial, and shows that it was anything but a short ski season for us. We are now looking forward towards spring and further travels that do not include skiing. We will have to wait for next winter for more of that.
