Wow some incredible CVs on here!
Mine is much more modest with various obstacles too often getting in the way of skiing, but at 37, I've started to think about time a bit more and how I need to prioritise my passions somehow (one toddler and another on the way might complicate this!)
Starting 2010:
-Pamporovo
-Val D'Isere
-Courchevel season
-Courchevel season
-St Anton
-Whistler
-La Plagne

@jafa, thanks, unlikely this season. I'm in the UK this weekend, and then probably won't bother with much else than glacier skiing now this season.
