Got down to 42 here in Lyndonville last night. Felt nice this morning. And it's officially September, and that alone sounds so much nicer than August.

Getting the shakes...

I'm starting to visualize zipper lines on a regular basis. Under 2 months now...

Is it snowing yet?

Remember that scene in the movie "Risky Business" when Tom Cruise is sitting in class and the clock starts ticking backwards? It's starting to feel like that.

It's very, very bad now. I've been reading the gear guides and I have my new pair of skis sitting right where I keep looking at them. The other night I was flying somewhere in the 20k ft. range in a cloud and looked back at the wingtips and everytime the strobe flashed I could see that it was snowing.

I'll second GSS 'cause I really wish Xanadu was open. It doesn't help that I see it a few times a week while I'm working.

Jones Factor ramped up A LOT this weekend! Road a chairlift, held my skis for the 1st time since late April, was at Mount Snow, saw some leaves starting to turn colors, and it's after Labor Day!! Mega Ski Jones Boost has occurred!

Surprisingly... I'm still decently in check even though I've bought some new gear.

I am going to Vegas on Thursday for a work conference, so I'm kind of zoned in on that... I expect when I return all hell will break loose on the jones front... Particularly considering that there's a trip to Loon for the Highland Games planned for next weekend... Tent sales, crisp mountain air, turning leaves... gets me every year.

I put new lightbulbs in the outdoor lights so I won't misse the arrival of the new boards.

I went through all my ski clothes in August to make sure everything was ready.
I was reviewing an interview by a FEMA director talking about having a disaster readiness kit prepared at your home. I realized that my fully-prepared ski bag would easily double as a disaster kit, if necessary! It's certainly more ready than my disaster kit!

Anxiously awaiting backcountry.com to send out their usual fall gear sale email with a coupon. Ready to pull the trigger, but I ain't doing it until someone shows me a discount coupon!

Season On

Saturday at the Shop --- It was like someone threw on the Winter Switch. People looking and buying ski equipment all day long. No one wanted to talk about bikes or kayaks. I'm not one to complain, it was just strange. Watea 84s flying out the door.....

PS I have had ski movies playing 24/7 for the past few weeks
