You have done it all..... maybe you havent. Remember that fantastic powder or that awful slush. Was the sun in the right place, was the breeze so bitter..... did every move glide in the chosen path or could you just get nothing right???
You have one weks of skiing left.
Do you want to revisit past resorts to correct?
Do you want to revisit past resorts re-live?
Do you want to go somewhere that has escaped you?
Where would you go AND WHY??

Himilayas in India, after watching the Ski Sunday programme earlier this year. Highest gondola in the world, untracked powder, stunning scenery and "taxi rides" surfing off the back of cars. Surely on every skier's/rider's once in a lifetime list.

Watched a prog about Mica heli-skiing in Canada last night and that looked pretty impressive.

Someone had to say it.
I was thinking Alaska but having seen Mike's post maybe heliskiing in the Kamchatka Peninsula would do it, after all if its your last week ever you might not be so concerned about airworthiness of ex soviet helis.

A week of clear weather flying in Valdez/Haines for true Big Mountain.

arv, I'd have to go with the same............or some time in Japan with unlimited powder runs. Either would be awesome!!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Alaska Heli ski (but at least 2 weeks so I didn't fret too much about days lost to bad weather. Or yes, Russia Heli sounds great too.
Failing Heli (perhaps I'd be wanting to get environmental Brownie points before the End!) I thought of La Grave - but it is getting a bit crowded so, so perhaps St Anton.

snowball, against the rules... ONE WEEK ONLY !!! I remember ski sunday when they raced against the slopes, that was pretty awesome
|
|

You know it makes sense.
|
If its my last week ever - I presume I have a fatal illness and the end of winter is coming - some nice edgy stuff around Cham...
...or if its that I'm on my last legs perhaps Sauze d'Oulx where I first strapped plank to foot, fuelled by huge quantities of unusually coloured cocktails at the Andy Capp!

I thought perhaps I might be allowed 7 days out of 14 (which is about what you get in Alaska, I gather).

I don't want to know when my last week of skiing is. Just let me know at the end of the last run

I find the end of one week rather upsetting and distressing let alone the last week of skiing ever!

I have always thought I'd like to re-visit Crest Voland. It was the first place I ever skied in 1992 and then the place where I started skiing again in 2001.

I ski defensively all season hoping to survive for the next trip, until on the last day of each season I ski like a maniac and at my age it is is not unlikely it will be my last ski. Given a choice I would have a blue sky powder week in Lech skiing the White Ring. But... seeing I spend much of the time sunbathing at the bar at Petersboden I could still get some enjoyment in the mountains without skiing.

johnboy, a remarkably modest ambition compared to heli-skiing on K2 or whatever. You don't have to wait till you're nearly dead to go to Crest Voland, you know!
