I was just wondering yesterday, while staring at the same bathroom reading material from last season, when are this season's ski mags coming?!!?! ha.

I've got friends visiting this coming winter and Loveland starts snow making in a month...so I'm at about a 9 right now.

Just got back from the ski shop down the street. Spent an hour talking about gear with one of the techs there. He looked happy to see me. Late spring/summer lasted a while. Yep, jones is through the roof now!

My ski jones just skyrocketed, I finished making the new heels for my boots, and they fit perfectly, which means I can continue to use them for a few more years.

HEH! I was just thinking the opposite. Maybe that's becasue I didn't get out of bed till the sun was on the back deck.

It sure was chilly last night...I had temps in the 50's! Great for September....Craptastic for frickin August! Hey...every season unto itself. January Thaw? Unwelcome. Indian Summer?...well....I don't mind so much. Frost in late April?...C'mon, my garden is WORKIN here!

My 9-year old son and I have been going into our basement, turning the air conditioning all the way up and playing the Nintendo WeSki (the game formerly known as WiiSkii). I gotta say, it's really getting us jazzed for the first snow. Although the game is not entirely accurate, there are 2 things we like about it:

1. You get a rhythm of doing turns down a slope.
2. We actually ride the chairlift together and talk. Just like the real thing. No kidding, the game allows you to be on a chairlift for 3 to 5 minutes and look at the sites.

My son has also committed to being on the first chair, the first day this year (we missed it my 4 knuckle draggers last year, but we beat them down the mountain as it took too long for them to get their boots into their boards!). Here's our 2007 attempt at the first chair:

SkiJones Rating: 9.65 on a scale of 10. It will go above 12 if the end of October is relatively cool in Vermont!
