Your Current Ski Jones Rating

[Glenn]

I was at the north/south lake trails but saw hunter from the town at breakfast.
there was white on it but far from covered and the katterskill trails only had little patches every once in a while, high up, but when you havent seen it in awhile, it's nice to step on it to hear the crunch, touch it, and throw it at your friend!

Amen! :grin:

Spent some time at the local hill tonight at the ski swap and picked up my pass. I also just watched a bunch of high res vids from last year. I think it's official. Jones meter is pegged at 10. Bring it the eff on already...

I'd have to say its a 10.9 (repeating decimal), since that's the highest I can go without compromising the integrity of gregs scale.
I haven't skied since I went to mammoth during that EPIC snowstorm that fell all over the tahoe area in january of this year
4 feet of fresh powder, the memories.....

It is creeping up to 10 after dropping stuff off at the local hills swap.

Really freaking high and it doesn't help that there might not be skiing in VT/NH for another 2 weeks with the stupid forecast..

10+ after watching Warren Miller last night.

Still very high. Although, it felt really weird building a ski tuning bench last night...with the garage door open and I was sweating. I can't friggin' stand this weather.:angry:

 

[JimG.]

On a scale of 1 to 10, mine is a 2,000,000.

Sharpened edges last night.

 

[bvibert]

Mines creeping up there again. I'm about to attempt my first ever ski tune shortly....

Surprisingly, it slipped back today. And that's in spite of a session of boot wearing this morning (that the kids started, I swear!), going to the ski swap twice this weekend, having my unsold skis in the car, watching ski porn... There's a bit of underlying anxiety that I thought went away but it's still there... Worried about whether or not my knee is strong enough. Mind games are worse than usual. I actually wouldn't mind getting in another MTB ride or two before starting the ski season...

5 now.

Pegged at 10, after watching a couple of Warren Miller flicks on Netflix today.

I need to go out West this year.

After passing through what I had planned on being opening weekend for me, buying a new to me pair of skis and watching a Warren Miller flick,the jones is way up there.

a friend uses this system- says it works great- sounds like your knee is >the weak link<....

the user can develop corrective exercise programs based on individual movement patterns. It is equally effective in fitness and sports conditioning because it targets the “weak link in movement”.

I partially tore my ACL while skiing in February, so that's why I'm concerned about it. I did my PT, but have slacked on my exercises since then (and sadly, exercise in general over the last several weeks). Need to find some time to work on strengthening again because the next time it gets torn, I'll need surgery.

creeping up to about a 5....water is still warm for suring, mtn biking thursday night...on Tognar now reordering tuning supplies....its creeping up, but not jumping out of my skin just yet.....

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Hovering at 8.8, I think I'll save the final 1.2 for that first roadtrip north for next week. May push it out towards midweek based on current forecasting.

maxed at 10.

tried to get my head into other things and it worked for a while. But with the leaves turning and the smell of wood burning.... it got me thinking about skiing.
