Now that I'm seeing pics of Killington making snow, I'm totally freaking out.
October turns anyone?

Just dug out my boot bag. Aside from being nice to look at the gear and boots in there I had the added bonus of finding my point and shoot camera that I've been missing since... well since the end of ski season I guess.. :beer:
Boots = on

The closest I've even come to looking at my gear was to dig out my spring gloves for an MTB ride. I'm trying not to look at it. I do need to get some tune-ups, but might wait until december or so. No sense trashing a tune on early season wrods.

I can't let my jones get that high yet or I'll go crazy. I won't ski till Thanksgiving at the earliest anyway. Fall is a transitional time for me and one that requires alot of work. I love seeing the snow fall on the mountains but outside of a freak 3-4 ft storm as close as the Catskills I won't even dig out the equipment. I've got a good season planned and once its on its on till tax day.

I've been resisting the urge to take all my gear out so I don't get too crazy. Last night I caved on the boots.
I've been thinking about giving my skis a coat of wax, maybe even file smooth some of the serrations in the edges too.

Jones is off the charts! Knowing there is the possibility I could be skiing in is little as 2 days makes it hard hard to even think about much else.

skiing on Saturday. Only dilemma is rescuing my left ski boot from the local shop I dropped my new boards of at on Saturday to get mounted. Have to cut a work day in Boston short tomorrow or friday to pick it up.

No offense, but you suck!

I'm pretty much through the roof today... There's a chance I'll make Sunday @ The River, but not sure yet... Wore my boots for a while a little earlier... I had a server explode at work, otherwise I'd bust out tomorrow or Friday and head up.

Oh Man, I hit the wrong playlist on the on the iPod this morning and on came Holiday and Christmas tunes. That absolutely threw my Jones off the scale!
Listened to it the whole commute to work. Fast forward over Halloween, go directly to Thanksgiving. Now, with the resorts firing up the lifts, will I be skiing in OCTOBER???? 
NOBODY in my house understands. They think I've gone mad.

just called the shop letting them know I needed to commandeer my ski boot back for Saturday. The mounting of my new skis wasn't supposed to be done until 10/30. Without asking, they got my voice mail this morning and put me to the front of the qeue. My wife will be picking up my boot AND new skis tonight. I'm not sure if I'll use them on Saturday, don't really want to trash them on WROD, but it was still great to hear.
quiver pics to come this evening now that it is complete for 09/10
