    Pretty remarkable differences in look and feel from PSM down to eastern LI.

    snow blowers and ice melt vs green grass and leaf blowers.

    Traveling 150 miles looks and feels more like 600. 

    It’s November to the south, early January to the north. 

    For my location, it means winter’s grip, currently, isn’t that strong at all—warm sectors will not be strongly defended against…

    The referenced map is more than just what the last storm brought. There’s a completely different seasonal vibe north/south of that line.

    Looks like typical climo to all of us.

    My itch to ski again is growing. Been over a decade since I’ve done downhill, not really prepared to right now but want to keep that itch going and growing. Biggest hurdles are ticket prices and gear, both of which are not in budget.

    I took a decade off 35 to 45. Started out slow.  1st time  back using rental skis I was shitting my pants heading up the Barker lift. Like riding a bike all the muscle memory still there .it was on like donkey Kong after that. Check FB Marketplace for deals. If yout budget is limited look for midweek deals. Go go go while you ca. Don't be a procrastinator .You won't believe how fast you go from 50 to 70. Get it while you can Bobby Bobalina.

    You know what we should have done like 10-15 years ago. Got a group and rented a cabin or something in the middle of nowhere during a major snowstorm. Just imagine how fun that would have been :lol: 

    LES chase stay in Montague NY cabin stuck for a week. Wiz gets cabin fever and decides to fully transform into Miley Cyrus for good.  Kevin goes out for a run, found a week later frozen in a 10 foot pile swept up by a front loader but had a smile frozen forever.  Scooter discovers the frozen bodies Mitch had not yet buried piled up in the cellar and goes berserk usable to deal with it. Will, Ray, Garth, Hunchie, Wolfie and I devise a plan to get out when another 4 feet falls and we are all stranded with no food or communication. Will we survive?  and who eats who? Lol that's the rest of the story...

    What kind of adaptive skiing do you do?  I started teaching adaptive skiing at Jiminy Peak last year.  It's amazing the variety of options out there to get almost anyone who wants to ski out there!

    You rock! I work with traumatic brain injury clients and am looking into getting one of my clients into adaptive skiing this year.

    Yes that was me. Skied standing up until March of 2022. Just too weak currently to ski standing up. Been doing adaptive skiing at Ski Sundown for 2 years.

     

    Did alot of skiing with my son. He's taken up skiing again and will be with me on December 27th. 

    Dude you are awesome.  Such grit and determination.  God bless you. Yea I was at B-east with you all.i miss skiing so so much unfortunately one fall could paralyze me so even adaptive is out. Good for you man.

    Lol nice. Reminds me of my first foray into the NEK crowd as a late teen. Feeling nervous and an outsider lasted for maybe 10 mins, when Gimme Shelter kicked in, and I smelled the aroma of sweet bud I knew that place was for me.
