Well, I do want it to snow in the northeast and out west, just not between NC and Chicago.  All that's needed for my home mountain, Massanutten, is plenty of cold weather for snowmaking before I get there on Jan. 5.

I'd like a dedicated powder ski.

Might be looking at a new truck.  My old one is 15 years old now.  I don’t have a payment, but for the last couple years I’ve had some decent repair bills.  Not only do I need a reliable work truck, but need to get to the ski hills too!

The Salamons I’ve been skiing have changed my life.

They’re old, from 2013. Rocker2 122’s. A buddy of mine gave them to me. He’s on Benchettlers now. Says they’re similar.

But seriously, those sort of skis can bring you to a whole new level.

There's a lot of research and cash involved for a guy that doesn't see too many powder days.

Something like these might be more appropriate for the terrain you normally ski out there.

I picked up a pair of Nordica Enforcer 100s two seasons ago - my go to powder ski for alpine. Voiles for BC touring. The enforcers make the deep easy for an old guy like me. I can remember plowing through deep pow and spring mush in  my 200cm Olins, how the hell I still have my knees I'll never know.
Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.

It's looking like Johnny is wanting 1978 for Christmas.

You absolutely can.

For that reason, I'd like a collection of dividend paying stocks that yielded approximately $3000 a month.

That kind of no-maintenence supplemental income would be a super nice way to fund an adventure lifestyle.

If you have enough money, you can do whatever you want with your time.
