For nordic types, May 1st is the beginning of the 2026-2027 year. I spent the last hour looking at my spreadsheet and crunching the numbers. By this weekend I’ll commit to some goals for the coming year, and fully analyze last year’s performance.
At first blush, my key metrics - volume, vertical, days on snow - we’re all spot on, or close to goal projections. My 2025-26 goal was to log 750 hours, on 200,000’ of vertical gain, and 115 days on snow. When all is said and done, I managed 747 hours, almost 189,000’ vertical, and 113 days on snow.
