I was wondering if anyone had any aims for 2010?

I’m loathe to make any fixed goals and was quite happy with 2009 - skied the climbing route on the Charmant Som, returned to the Ecrins after 5 years etc but both were just because the opportunity presented itself rather than fixing any set objectives. I didn’t ski at Avoriaz despite being 45 minutes drive away due to slave master bosses who didn’t give me any time off.

Generally though next summer I would like to take a sailboat round the north Italian coast with the aim of going to the Fjords in April 2010. I also want to find the time get at least one multiday trip in. Grenoble -> Briancon or even Grenoble -> Nice are a couple of ideas.

Mainly just to get 30 days skiing in as this seems to be the break even point for improving. Probably going to be a mix of resort outbounds and backcountry. Resort skiing to work on technique.

My goal is to learn to understand spoken French much better.

Much more difficult for me than skiing.

aside from my seemingly yearly goal of spending more time exploring back country terrain i’m hoping to land a switch corked 720 this year
