How's your jones?

Camping gear went up to the attic this weekend. Almost brought the ski gear down......almost

My skis never made it from their winter spots in the kitchen, so I see them every day. :beer:

Damn. I can't keep anything in the kitchen...

I say bring the ski gear down and keep the camping gear down. Fall is the best camping season, IMO. Mostly because Fall is also the best hiking season and the two go hand in hand for me.

unfortunately, I won't have much time this fall to camp. I typically do agree with your statement. I have a bunch of things I need to get taken care of to free up time for skiing this winter.

My new skis are in my office though, have been since the day they arrived

During the winter they either stay in the car or in the kitchen, next to the door, ready to go. Last year they spent the summer in my roof box in the garage, this year they made it back to the kitchen where they stayed. I'm thinking about giving them their bi-yearly (give or take a year or two) tune-up soon...

Definitely increasing. Seeing some leaves begin to change has me thinking fall, and we all know what's after that!

 

[riverc0il]

Definitely increasing.

That is an understatement given today's new threads!!!

Yep. I had to start the perennial discussions!

I notice the AWD-FWD-Snow Tire debate has resurrected. :-? Again. :roll:

It's continuing to climb. I took the family down to the ski shop and set up season long rentals for my two sons, and my wife bought her first set of boots and skis. This will be the first season we won't have to waste time getting rental gear before we hit the slopes. Now I have to start shopping for a roof rack to carry the stuff. Unfortunately there's still plenty of time to finish gearing up for the season...

It's getting really bad, I just got back from the Ski Barn. I took my son there to get his seasonal leases, returned his 85cm Rossis for 100cm Rossis, he's growing up. I also got a new pair of Nordica pants from last season for 50% off. Hopefully the next 6 or 7 weeks will go fast.

I'm at 'jumping out of my skin' phase... Must ski...

Jones is steadily rising. It's to the point where I'm losing interest in checking the MTB forums I frequent and focusing on skiing related ones instead.

 

[RootDKJ]

I feel like I should be tuning some gear, or something. I really need to install my bootheaters.

 

[Glenn]

I really need to install my bootheaters.

x2! I'll probably do that in the next few weeks. Along with pulling out all the gear and checking things over. I think we'll pick up our season passes at the mountain during Oktoberfest. :beer:

 

[bvibert]

I mentioned somewhere that my skis are still living by the kitchen door from last season. I see them everyday. But the other day I actually separated one pair and checked out the bases. Wow, do they need some TLC!

Jones is through the roof! This is the toughest time of the year, because it is so close yet so far....

Fall is tough too, because mother nature holds all of the cards. I could be skiing in less than a month, or not.

 

[HD333]

Climbing.

Just reserved the seasonal locker this AM. Maybe put on a vest tomorrow for the commute to work.

Fortunalty I am distracted by a golf tournmey I am running towards the end of Oct so not alot of time to let the joneses kick into high gear.

Tried on my kids gear yesterday. Ordered new boots for both of them, a helmet for my son and skis for my daughter. Love the kids gear at Levelninesports.com. I can buy new stuff and then turn it around at a local swap for the same or more than I paid for it.
