You know it's closer to ski season when??/

The September ski magazines arrive in the mail...

Back to School sales are in full force

It's dark at 8:00PM

Air conditioning is turned off...

You become irritable due to several months off the slope and pent up anticipation..

Internet ski forums buzz with activity..

O.K. I could go on forever but you guys add to this list........

When football season begins...
When you're stuck behind a school bus...
When you hang up you're bathing suit

How do I know it's getting closer to ski season?

Every ski message board and email list erupts into a flame war.

When the sailboats get winterized...until then I try not to think about snowboarding...its not worth the anticipation.

When (like today) I say to my work colleagues (whom are golf fanatics), '80 days until Sugarloaf opens!' I get a look of grave concern/ anger. When the number od days gets down to 60..... then the looks are pure anger.

The leaves on some of the trees in Central/Eastern CT are already changing colors

 

[Johnskiismore]

My neighbors across the street had an oak tree that would change color in the beginning of August every year. Of course when this would happen I would remind them of what is around the corner.

The tree was cut down two weeks ago, and I was told, no more leaves turning anymore!

when......

All kinds of brush and the hardwood leaves start turning.....8)
1+ on ECPH's No More Lawn To Mow....

Preseason sales and you score a great deal on a pair of Head Magnums.
