Dying. Plotting out a Feb trip to Steamboat with another family and it, along with the snow photos in the "Snow!" post, is making me crazy.
It's weird how October is such a month of celebration every year. All summer long I bet I maybe drink a case of beer...period, but right around the first snow I just feel it's time to drink beer and be merry. It feels like a rebirth, like starting the clock at zero. The hard work is winding down now and the level of optimism is high. It's like knowing ahead of time your life is drastically going to change and so many good times are ahead. I love October!!!

Can't wait for the season to start. Just picked up my skis with the better than Factory Fresh finish from Mike de Santis aka SkiMD. He's the best at his craft of tuning skis.

I really like those lemon lensed Bolle's... I'm going to try and find a pair out here. I had them the past couple of years and they were my standard night / storm goggles. Unfortunately, I cracked them near the end of last season...

Definitely getting up there. Ski season is really starting to feel not so far away. Lots of good MTB left though.

It's refreshing to have a supportive group, unlike most of us who only hear the belly-aching about the weather.
Oh, I get that too! "Ugh, snow....well, at least you must be happy..."
I hang skiing pics outside my office all winter. Early season pics usually include the fan guns at Mt. Snow blasting away.

I had to laugh. Last weekend my wife and I were discussing traveling to see my sisters. "Well, we could do it in the winter, but you're not around, you're always gone skiing."
I added to the fire with a comment, "Well, driving in the winter in western NY is the pits anyways."

Jones is starting to ratchet up today. Bringing my new skis to the shop to have the Dukes mounted up. Probably pick up a little ski porn as well.

I have been burning new DVD's to watch for the last couple of days. I watched Claim on Blu-ray the other night. Awesome ski porn. Highly recommend.
Just got back from watching Wild Stallions at Suburban Sports where they also had a Ski Sundown rail jam going on. Definitely upped the jones!
