How's your jones?

[billski]

Kids are jonesing bad. This is what they did to themselves this morning:

Oooooh, that's the worst. When the innocents start Jones'n it means trouble. Hope they suited up in an A/C room!

Jones went up when I started looking at sales and events...

I'm figuring out what skiing books to take with me to the beach this week. It will be a rough week....

I just got back from my shore vacation at LBI so now the jones is starting to ramp up. It doesn't help that I saw a car on my way home with a Fischer logo sticker and an "If it's snowin'...I'm goin'" sticker on the roof rack.

That settles it. I'm gonna paste a Sugarloaf USA sticker on the NJ Shore beach rules sign and send it back to Maine....

Come to think of it, a MRG bumper sticker too!

Sadly, 99.89% of all beachgoers will have no idea what it's for! :razz:

The kids are both wearing their ski boots again. Totally on their own. They got the jones worse than us! One hasn't even skied yet.

That's awesome. I need to do that!

The good news is that I don't need to buy new winter outerwear for them--still fits! They've been talking about Sundown for days now. I LOVE it!

Trailer for the latest from Powderwhores. Wow, that just jumped the Jones to an 8.5.

This not skiing into June and July due to injury thing serious jumps the Jones up much earlier than I am used to!!!

Because this needed to be viewed again!

Summer is beginning to end in the Catskills... It won't be long now...
I'll start getting really psyched after Vegas and Halloween

 

[severine]

Kids put on their ski gear again.

I really want to be skiing... really. But realistically, I'm not ready yet. Have some fitness issues to deal with first.

It's now a 10+, I got back from vacation and both the Ski and Skiing gear guides were in the mailbox and I found myself watching Head for the Hills last night too. Can't wait, where's Xanadu when you need it.

Ski jones is currently highly elevated ! Trip to the Mad River Valley scheduled for this weekend. Traditional time to get gear for the kids for the season as well as finding great savings on last years stuff. maybe pulling the trigger on new boots.

Definitely ramping up. I think late August is a healthy time to start getting psyched about ski season. Much moreso than June... :razz:

 

[wa-loaf]

High! I'm going to try on boots tomorrow morning. :-D

Good deals at REI for little kids gear.

Picked up 2 pairs of Rossi Fun Girls with bindings for the twins for 99 each. Regulalry 200. Saw them up North for 170 on sale. Feel like we got a good deal. Now to find them some boots and me some skis, maybe some boots for the wife.

Jones is growing....

Here's another good sign the cold is coming soon!

 

[Puck it]

Getting higher. Just got my Head Supershape Magnums back from warranty replacement. Third pair. They are 2010. Not bad considering I started with a pair of 2008 demos when I bought them.

Just finished sifting thru equipment.

My boots are shot, holes in the liners...need new ones. Tell me about Dalbello Kryptons.

Skis are good, but want (uh-oh) bump skis. Just don't see any reason to buy Pow skis.

Guess I'm going to have to make due with garments for the most part.

Had my first skiing dream last night. It approaches.

Sweet.

 

[RootDKJ]

I think I was about to have a skiing dream also, but around 4am my cat decided to knock over a cup of loose change on to the floor and scare the crap out of me.

 

[Greg]

Tell me about Dalbello Kryptons.

Intuition Liner = Sweet. Potentially lots of forward flex, stiff laterally. Can be made stiffer all around with the base board, stiff tongue and flex adjustment doo-hickey. Personally, I have mine set as soft as possible. Try them on. Pros are lower volume than the Cross's.

Skis are good, but want (uh-oh) bump skis.

Don't bother with anything else. Mount them right on the line, detune tips and tails and you're rockin'. Probably real similar to your Candids.

10+

Tried on about 6 pairs of boots today and walked away with some sweet Atomics CS130's.
