This storm is gaining momentum and the trend is cold. Yep, the winds always follow...
Why didn't I pick indoor pickleball?

You should hit Sugar Mountain. It's worth it just to witness the carnage on the one intermediate trail off the top. Never seen anything like it anywhere else. Bodies everywhere!

 

[Kingslug20]

Maybe ill go to the range and blow off 200 rounds...that's a decent frustration killer..

Do you have an old pair of skis you could use as a sacrifice for Ullr?

I’m hoping it gets cold enough to freeze the lake properly for ice skating after the hot rain. Or get a Couple inches on the back end at least x country will still be in play. I never ski Christmas week and this year will be no exception

Let's hang out with who ever comes up with this stuff...

lol. this year we're going to her brother in charlotte. last year we went to her mom near nashville. ooo boy, when i said 'baby, ober gatlinburg is on my indy pass', she basically murdered me with her eyes. there will be no jewish heathen skiing at southern family xmas this year or ever. you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, and when to walk away. i live with a very long reasonable leash from my better half.

Ice skating is looking to be the best option!

x-country after a hard freeze after rain? You’re a better skier than I ever will be.

I don’t usually ski Christmas week. Though there had been exceptions when condition warrants. But this year isn’t one such.

I like how it says 0” Daytime Snow, 3-7” Overnight and then somehow arrives at 7-10” for the daily total

 

[Kingslug20]

Um...yeah...someone...smoking the ganja...

It is legal in VT and CO so maybe you're onto something
