Acceptance

Acceptance for me. Even with this crap I'm at 11 days. I don't think that would have been possible back when I was a kid. Even if it doesn't turn around (and I'm on the band wagon that says it will) there is skiing to be had. Maybe not alot of variety but enough to "drill, drill, drill" on.

Acceptance for me... easier now... simply brutal nonetheless.

 

[abc]

Acceptance for me. Zero days so far.

Hey, but I got 3 days of mtn biking in! Does that count?

 

[Nick]

Probably in Depression

 

[tarponhead]

Acceptance for me. I don't have a long ski history but as a lifelong fishermen I learned to roll with the punches. It's just when everyone (including friggin anoying radio DJ) raves about the great mild winter, I get a bit pi$$ed... I wish mounds of snow on them!

I've been at Acceptance for a long-time now, about three weeks ago when I realized my 1st day probably wouldn't come until after the first week of January (likely MLK weekend now).

 

[Bumpsis]

Depression, slowly rolling into acceptance.
At this point I'm grateful for a the short spell of lower temperatures. I'm hoping for one of the local ponds to form an ice cover thick enough for skating. Black ice skating is almost as much of a treat for me as skiing fresh powder.
And seemingly, just as rare.

It's kind of hard to think about weather and skiing using a model that was designed to deal with terminal illness and severe tragedy. I guess 'acceptance' is the only real answer since it's just plain 'ol reality.

It's New England, it's weather, it's early season, we'll live.

I'm not so sure January 5th is really "early season", I'm putting you in the "Denial" camp.

Agreed. S NH ponds are about 3-4" now--marginally safe. But just enough for the inaugural skate on my friend's rink last night that we've worked on since this summer--boards, backnetting, and lights. Fast ice too!

Definitional I guess. I see the real season as Jan-March. With Nov, Dec, and April and being unreliable bonuses. Last year at this time we had a total reset. It was hot and pouring for New Years weekend and the Mtns were set back to square one. We came out of it great.

I was at acceptance but have regressed back into depression.

 

[awf170]

I've given up on winter and have started hoping for 80 degree beach days again.... where does that put me on the scale?!?!?

Seriously though, winter sucks without snow. Time to go freeze my ass off on my bike.

 

[kickstand]

I'm in Bargaining - I haven't been out yet this season, so I'm trying to make a deal with Ullr/Mother Nature for some serious snow over the next 2-3 months.

 

[mriceyman]

Depression..especially since i plow on the side... im just really bored

Up the alcohol consumption. That should help :wink:

 

[goldsbar]

Acceptance. We've had some really good years. A bad one was bound to happen. MTBing is still good.

 

[ScottySkis]

Whiskey does help in lack of snow months

Denial...I just can't believe the voodoo lady would let us all down.
