Halfway there.
Not that I don't enjoy Summer, but the end of July signals to me the halfway point in the long wait till next ski season. I can't wait to make turns on or around Halloween. Last year was awesome taking in the foliage while riding up the Locke triple in mid October.
What is your halfway point?

I hear ya!
once August hits I really start itching to ski... and while I'm waiting for the snow I like to gear up! :-)
now with the wonders of on-line shopping, I've been buying stuff anytime of the year I find a great buy.
It used to be I'd be lurking around the local ski stores waiting for the first sales of the new season.
I remember waiting in line at the Ski Haus in Wilmington Ma (RIP) to charge in and grab a pair of Volkl's at some great "tent" cleareance price.
Lets hope the dry summer will somehow lead to a snowy winter!

went out for early ride this am, and there was a bit of a chill in the air....felt great. Not ready for summer to go yet...skiing can wait for now. Once football season starts, then I start thinking about skiing. For now it is sun, beach, pool, etc....

Almost got a 7 month ski season last winter, short by a couple days. Hopefully next winter...huge thing when you can ski MORE than half they year :)

Isn't every year a 7 month Ski Season? At least for me it is. ;-) Going out later today for a spin. That ride must have been a little shock to the system MB after all the heat. I love the dry air and can't wait for summer to end. The heat drains me of energy. Today marks my 6 day in a row in the saddle, mtn and road. Tomorrow is 80+ miles up to Ogunquit and then next week two hard rides and training is over. I will be ready for the PMC. After that......Dreaming about the start to the real season.
