I officially fucking hate August and its being so far from ski season...

So, I dont know if its just me, but every time August rolls around, I get stupid psyched for winter.. just out of nofuckingwhere. I will start busting out all my ski movies and flat out torture myself to death.

I think it has to do with the fact that in June and July, I can actually survive knowing theres potentially very good amounts of snow still surviving up in Oregon and BC... but come August, it hasnt snowed in at least 3 months, school is coming back, and winter seems as deads as fuck - therefore leading me to be looking forward to the upcoming winter EVEN MORE.

This year, sucks all the more. I have spent a LOT of time in Tahoe this summer, and the mountaintops are nearly snowless - a semi-rare sight for tahoe, even in August - Whats worse is I just recently got a job at a seriously LEGIT ski shop, and we are just starting to get all the new 2008 stuff in. I'm opening the hundreds of boxes of the new equip, and its killing me... seeing all the new stuff WAAAY before it even goes on sale or is seen in the gear guides of magazines is insane. (hellbents, EP Pros, and WALLS!! OH MY!)

I guess I'll just have to keep reminding myself that in a little over 2 months, it will be Halloween, and we MIGHT have enough snow to feed my craving...


Sorry for the life story... I'm just in distress like pretty much everyone else on here...

atleast you live near skiing. you could hike and play in the snow or drive north. For me theres no option other than a plane ticket and stuff.

Yeah, I have watched all of my ski movies a million times just this month.  It is killing me....but disc golf is a good way to get up in the mountains and enjoy your self.  It takes the edge off a little bit.

At least all you fucks haven't blown your knees twice in a row. Yay acl surgery for the second time next month. I haven't skiied since last may and wont until next fall probably. But I'm sure there are people in much worse situations, at least I'm still alive and not paralyzed or in a coma.

this fall means the fall that is like 2 months away. Next fall is the one that's 14 months away. Just like last may means the one that was 16 months ago. I'm pretty sure the majority of NS is not on a 30 month break from skiing.

i felt exactly the same way when the glacier shut. I was also only 2 hours away from it, but was too busy to go.
Yay for a site where obsessed people can talk with obsessed people!

You forgot the next two words r.tard - "THIS SUMMER."

Skiing is pretty shitty in tahoe during the summer, my friend...

and I was only saying that because I was making reference to how little snow is up there and how shitty last season was for Tahoe. Theres like zero snow up there, even on the tops of the highest peaks there is no snow where even during an average september there would be snow...

Why dont you READ the WHOLE statement before you start BSing bro.
