Fall is officially here and with my wife constantly dragging home new fall decorations from Hobby Lobby and TJ Max, I have secretly been adding to my ski gear closet and started my count down. 9 weeks (hopefully) until I am back on snow. Where is your countdown at?

My previous resort in Finland had canned snow like Ruka early season last year. Wasn’t as bad skiing as I expected

Whenever Killi decides to open most likely. Maybe Big Snow if I want to tolerate a 5 hour drive each way.

Living in california is less than ideal for gettin an early start to the season. last year it didn't even start raining till november, and the snow took like a month after that to really arrive.

Big snow is lit. But definitely not worth 5 hours both ways. I can’t even imagine taking that long haul for one miniature park run… but then again skiers do be dedicated asf

I mean, there won't be enough snow up on berthoud to set anything up so I'd rather hike the rail they usually set up on the side than do nothing

Honestly still having a great time biking, not sitting in traffic, not waiting in lines, etc. Biking is really fun.

Hoping to ski before halloween. Gotta pray that one of these days, the forecast will stop showing highs in the 60-70s and the mountains get some snow again.

The pain of a rainy Oregon fall waiting for snow doesn't make it go faster. And we don't make snow. So it opens when it opens. I have seen it go from nothing to pow day in under 48 hours.

Makes sense, might have to make a trip the 27th if no one else is opened, will they gas price for a 5 hour drive me worth it? Absolutely
