First signs that ski season is near

[skiNEwhere]

Ever been? How far of a ride is it from the Aspen or Summit County areas?

I have not. I want to spend a week down there and knock out that, telluride, and a day or two at wolf. I believe stephski went there a couple years ago.

It's about 6 hours from me. Guesstimating about 5 and 4 hours from summit and aspen, respectively

We aren't the only ones getting grumpy this time of year.

I present Killington Mountain School's finest alum:

This kid will be a member at a country club someday. He will just blend right in, trust me.

Sounds like he was told to leave UMASS.

Bringing class to the Uconn Ski team! NOT!

How looks like a spoiled brat! Probably leaves his skis on the ground too and gets pissed if someone skis over them!

I'm not at all surprised that he chose to ski at Killington. I hear that Killington has some really good macaroni and cheese.

What a jackoff ! Ive done stupid stuff in my life but never in front of a bunch of people while giving the finger to the kid recording it all. That manager should eb given an award for being so patient.

I just looked up his points on USSA. He is a shitty ski racer as well!

Got sprinklers blown out! Now we are ready for snow.

Went swimming in the ocean on Cape Cod today. Cold. Much colder than late Oct last year. Hopefully a good sign for early skiing. But I'm sure there's no correlation.

*Almost* had to pull out the scraper for the car this morning. Needed some washer fluid to get the frost clear.

Guess it's time to adjust bindings for the new boots and give all the skis a tune. Now time is running out!

The radar starts getting those nice blue hues on it!
