2015-16: A ski season in photos

As green grass and flowers continue to poke through the melting snow snow in Ski Country, we can no longer pretend that spring isn’t here. We’ve been through the all the stages of denial (anger, bargaining and depression) and now that we’ve made it to acceptance, it’s time to reminisce about the all the joy the 2015-16 winter brought. How do we do that? By combing through hundreds of Instagram and Facebook photos taken at top ski resorts. Here are some of the most iconic and well-liked of the Internet.

Aspen Snowmass, Colorado

@iandavidf Insta Takeover: I’m beyond honored to have been asked to take over Aspen’s insta for the day. This place means so much to me and has been a huge part of my life and career. I’ll be sharing photos and words throughout the day to express what makes this place so special to me. I went back and forth but decided that the first photo should be a shot of Highlands bowl. It is one of the most impressive pieces of controlled terrain in the world. There’s something magical about getting up on that ridge. #aspen #highlandsbowl A photo posted by Aspen Snowmass (@aspensnowmass) on Feb 11, 2016 at 10:42pm PST

Big Sky Resort, Montana

[Post 10/10] Well here we are at the end of Big Sky Resort’s inaugural Instagram takeover by myself, @ryandaythompson. It has been a blast posting my take on things for you for the last few days! Big Sky Resort is an amazing, amazing place. The friends, the serenity, the lift lines or more or less total lack thereof (directly related to serenity 😂), the peace and beauty, the vert, the ability to ski from the summit of a very big mountain right to dinner/shots/your house/your car in one run, and the seemingly endless terrain that feels still so very unexplored day after glorious Montana day. There’s a lot of joy to be discovered here, my friends, and I hope you come up and find some of it for yourself very soon. See you out there! #vsco #vscocam #ski #skiing #sender #giver #bigsky #bigskyresort #visitbigsky #montana #visitmontana #montanamoment @visitmontana #sunset   A photo posted by Big Sky Resort (@bigskyresort) on Mar 10, 2016 at 6:33am PST
