Maybe we should be bringing our skis when we go camping instead of our bikes. :lol:

I'll admit, it's rising for me. But cautiously... damn gremlins in my head.

picked up my skis and new boots from the shop tonight. Even though my new boots are the same shell size, they reset my bindings for the new boots. But those effers reset my din to 6. I know, its no big deal to reset it but the fact that my age and weight requires such a ridiculously low din is sad.

Its almost time to SKI!!!!!

My DIN is 7 and I prolly got 20 lbs. on you. 6 might be a bit low, but not ludicrously so.

5ish.

Picking up two skis at the shop tomorrow and dropping off another pair to get remounted as well. Probably will shop around for deals on new glove liners and ultra light socks. Gotta start cleaning out the closet soon and rounding up all my gear and clothing. Car going into the shop in a week or two for the annual pre-winter inspection and tune up. Once I am completely ready for the first day, I'll be up to a decent Jones level.

Getting higher! Hit some tent sales in Lincoln/North Woodstock, NH and lo and behold, a pair of Line Celebrities followed me home. (Poor Brian couldn't shake the pair of Line Anthems that followed him :D) Hiked Cannon. Saw Loon South from a distance. Drove home the scenic way by Okemo, Magic, and Bromley. :D :D :D Getting closer to a 9 I'd say... the only thing holding me back is a little bit of fear of re-injury.

Around a 6-7 right now... If I don't go up to Rangeley top close down a buddy's camp in Rangeley this Friday, I may hit a shop or two to increase my hype.

Speaking of Rangeley, I still haven't skied Saddleback...

I was talked into them. The price and the fact that they have a 93mm waist helped convince me. ;) I didn't have anything that wide, yet. ;)

And yes, we are now very well outfitted for the season... :lol:
