Getting closer to ski season now!

Anyone doing anything interesting this weekend? Anything ski related? Outdoor related?

Just relaxing here. I may check out some ski/outdoor shops for any deals.

This Wednesday we’re going to Copenhagen, Denmark, with a side journey to Gothenburg, Sweden. I guess Copenhagen has an indoor ski area, which I was considering visiting and doing a TR on 🤣. But I’m sure not taking any kind of ski clothes; I might try to poke my head in and snap pics.

Boring response, but as a retired guy I tend to lie low on most weekends including holidays. When every day is Saturday, why mix with the mobs on actual Saturdays?:)
Having said that, I am going to West Virginia ski country in a few days to play golf for three days in cool temps with some ski buddies!

Just getting commitments done so I will have free time during ski season. Putting in firewood, doing some needed body work on my winter truck, fixed the heater core on a friend's 58 ford fairlane.

Rent bikes and go everywhere on them! Buy weed in Christiania.


We went to a 3 day music festival in Charlestown RI. Rented a 3 bedroom house with some friends. Rode bikes and swam in the ocean. Fun and exhausting weekend. Weather was super nice.

Christina is closed. The City was sick of all the hippies and bulldozed it.

Don't believe this is true as it was just in the news a few days ago. Something about gangs fighting over who gets to sell pot there.

Looks like Gatlinburg, TN. back when you "skied" plastic pellets. Didn't do it as I was like 10. Looks like fun until you fall. Green ribbon of death...🌲
