How's your jones?

[MR. evil]

Jones is pretty much next to nothing. Still constantly thinking about my next mountain ride, and in the planning stages of a winter bike build.

The ski jones is around a 5. The jones to move to my apartment in ski country is a 10!

This video just made me insanely jealous, and I'm trying to keep my browser away from kayak and orbitz...



Jones is about 35 now.

At this juncture, I prefer taking that ice and making some mixed drinks. Maybe then I'll forget about the weather.

Bastards, Stupid Canadians hogging all the snow!

 

[andrec10]

Eh!

Well I was gonna post to say that my jones was low considering hunting and the ability to still get both motorized and pedal bike rides in, and scoffed at anyone saying some stupid whistler vid had them jonesing.... but I watched the vid. Damnit, my hands are shaking again.

Just think how now that their dumped on, when the pattern flips it'll be a drought for them. Good luck snowmaking for the Olympcs!

Need I say more?

My jones?

Ready to KILL for snow.

Spent part of Saturday going thru equipment and packing up for first turns.

Washed and re-waterproofed ski pants and shells.

Then spent about 2 hours tromping around in my new boots...got the Dalbello Krypton Cross. Very nice boot, superb liner and fit.

All for naught without snow.

I don't remember the last season I did not ski over Thanksgiving weekend.

Very nice! I think you'll like them.

The jones is there, however, I'm getting a little discouraged. Had a meeting for the ski team up at the mountain Sunday. The hoses and guns are all ready to go but to me it seemed winter is still a little ways off. It may just be that last year at the same meeting (same time) the guns were plastering the mountain and opening was Thanksgiving weekend with almost 50% of the mountain open. I know the cold will come, just starting to get a little antsy.:-(

Really like them alot.

Tried on the Pro with the stiffer tongue in place and didn't like the flex at all. Way too stiff for my tastes. So I didn't see any reason to spend an extra $100 for a stiffer tongue I will never use.

The Cross is perfect for me. And the inner boot is sweet. Love the wrap around design which makes putting these boots on very easy. And the fit is tremendous...I already like them better than my old AT boots.

Now we need some snow. I just got the e-mail from Hunter advising no Thanksgiving weekend opening, set for 12/5 now.

Bummed.

Jones is beginning to move off the zero mark with hope of newfallen by week's end without power assist....

"Hello from Hunter Mountain!

Mother Nature has not been at her best lately, but after lots of time and speculation we've got a tentative opening date: December 5 - 6, 2009! The guns & crew are reading for snowmaking, which could begin as early as this weekend. "

This actually help bring my Jones under control. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
