How's your jones?

W,
Work(manifold/cat then suspension/shocks) on the SUV then we'll see what my situation looks like *and attitude feels like for early season skiing;-). Temps are pretty good here at night and can't be that bad up on the mountains...day temps are pretty nice...sun is warm, but doesn't feel like any major warmup immenent. Still don't have a powski for backcountry and would really like to try on the SuperBlasters(new HVL Lange w/walk-mode cuff --> at nearby shop...#24.5(my size)...)

I looked at the Super Blasters . . . But they didn't have any for me to try on, and then I saw the Tecnica Agent AT . . . Mmmmmm . . . .

A little higher now that I know I will actually get to ski this season. I'd still say about a 4, though. Not ready yet.

I keep going down to the basement and looking at my skis and touching them.

 

[JimG.]

Pretty much bouncing off the walls now.

The rain is killing me...most of my leaves are down but all soaked now.

Want to do the whole cleanup this weekend, but forecast sucks.

Sick of painting at this point...don't know if I can do another room this weekend and not go crazy.

Need to ski.

The annual "Chill" section that the Boston Globe sends every mid-November came today. There was actually a decent article about Sugarloaf vs Saddleback this year. It also reminded me that the Ski Expo is only 4 days away, which really is exciting because the expo is usually when my pre-season anticipation hits its highest point. As useless as the exop may be, there's still nothing like walking into that place and seeing 50 different resorts' trail maps on huge posters. Mid to late November is just a great time of year in my opinion. Start of the holidays, cold weather, skiing, etc.

Jones is getting higher... Been watching more ski movies. Last night was "Out Cold." Was planning on being on skis in less than 2 weeks but it's not looking good.

If Hunter does not open for Thanksgiving...I convinced the wife so myself and my son can go to Killington.:grin: This weather is nuts...:smash:

 

[o3jeff]

Need to get out soon, hopefully someone will be open the Friday after turkey day.

Mine is terrible right now. Turning to anger now too.

Sick and tired of seeing rain and warm temperatures. ENOUGH ALREADY.

Boston Ski & Snowboard Expo probably won't help.

 

[Greg]

Getting out last week felt good. But now I'm in a period of limbo not knowing exactly when the next time out will be. Hoping for something closer Thanksgiving weekend.

Let's see. Looks like you've got the worst part ahead of you...
The good news is that you are ahead of Greg

My Jones is high and it's the Internets fault. I don't think I got as wound up preseason as I do now before i started frequenting ski forums. I thought it was cool that a few places would open early, but I didn't really think much about heading out until after Thanksgiving. Stupid Internets! :smash:

Jones is cranked past 100.

Finished cleaning up leaves yesterday...yardwork done until May 1, 2010.

Painting done until spring also.

and now skiing really begins...except now we're getting the warmth we didn't get all summer.

Pissing me off big time. Not looking promising to make my first 2009/10 turns this coming weekend, locally anyway.

ULLR, why have you forsaken us?
