Skison 20/21?

[NMSKI]

I'm getting so used to eating shit sandwiches this year that I totally accept this weather and lack of skiing.

I'm with you on that one, just sort of having trouble thinking a year ago we got one good run down midway, and multiple shitty ones.  I would love to be taking a run down midway at its worst right now though.

I want to ski as much as anybody, but maybe it's time to invest in some new hobbies? Coincidentally, if it's too warm to make snow, that usually means it's pretty much perfect weather for riding bikes. I dread the offseason much less since I got into mountain biking. Also I still need to mount up my new skis, and I have winter stuff spread across 3 different houses still. I guess I should get my act together in the event that it actually starts to get and stay cold.

Ha midway was such a shit shoe after 10 minutes, those sugar bumps were such a hoot!

This is what I've been thinking. I used to quit biking from November through March, but this year I'm going to stick with it, even if just using the trainer. When we get warm days in the mid 40s I'll be biking if I can.

The current temperature range (e.g. purgatory) sucks because it's too warm to ski, and a little too cold for biking.

I guess mountain biking might be warmer since you're not going fast and are insulated from the wind by trees. If I find a good deal on a mountain bike I'll get one.

X-country skiing sounds fun too but we just don't get enough snow these days

Yeah I think you can comfortably get away with riding a mtb in colder temps than a road bike. I did a ~15 mile road ride last friday morning up and back to AC to go surf and wore mittens even though it was only in the high 40s when I left the house. On the mtb I'd still be wearing my regular thin gloves for those same temps.

Yup, no one's fault but my own that I still have stuff at my parents house and the in-laws house.

Blue will make snow tonight, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  This will be enough to survive Friday, Saturday, and Sunday warmth.  They will open this weekend and continue making snow next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  See ya’ll this weekend!

I think a switch from pressure washing to ski waxing might help. 

That reminds me. I need drop my shit off for a full on grind.

No new hobbies here...just drive further north to colder climates!

In all honesty while skiing will always be my addiction... I really want to get more so into biking and camping more. I need a bike.

It’s a great excuse (not that anyone needs one) to day drink on the weekends

Buy a gravel bike and then you can join us for gravel rides next season.

I don't love drinking when I golf. I would prefer to have one afterwards.

When I was a kid George Michael said it. Fred Durst said it again when I was a young adult.

Fuck I'm old.

I think there is one poster on here under age 30...but then again internet message boards are super out dated and full of us old folks.

This is kind of depressing. Are we all going to be in our 60s and still posting on a message board?

I refer to it as swing lube. The key is to have just enough that it’s a good time, but not enough to affect judgement and motor skills
