I have a pair of slalom skiis that used to be raced by Lasse Kjus (managed to grab them before the factory destroyed them) and another pair of longer downhill skiis. The latter keeps getting faster every season. Or maybe im just getting older :D Going this weekend if the slopes are open  :aok

How long until there'll be snow up on Mt. Lemon?  Used to go up there w/ my buddies at U of A when I was living out there.

Tucson forecast is for 90 today with light winds. I doubt Mt. Lemmon will be seeing anything soon. There is also no precip anywhere around the area. The "cooling trend" for next week is to get the temps down to the low 80's.  :mad: I hate hot temps.  :furious

     Well yesterday they had forecast for flurries and a high of 49F.  I ended up with
6 inches of "flurries" and the town next door got 13!  Late October is very early for snow
here in NJ.

ugh, I don't like snow, cuz in the middle of the country, we have the worst of both worlds. HOT summers and frickin' cold winters. plus I'm riding my bike home in plus or minus 40 degree weather.At least I'll have buff calves and thighs... :frown:

We (me and the wife) were visiting friends up in the Poconos over the weekend. About 30 miles west of Stroudsburg (in the Lehigh Gorge). We took my Jeep JK (aka Wrangler) and did some off road wheelin' with a 5 Jeep caravan of friends and friends of friends. We had originally planned to stay thru Monday and head home on Tuesday. However, I had to change plans due to family commitments and we headed home on Monday. We beat the snow by a couple of hours. The town of Lehighton (where our hotel was) saw 13.5 inches before it stopped (not bad for a forecast of snow showers). Both PA route 209 and interstate 80 were closed for several hours. Snow isn't a problem for the Jeep, but it would have turned a 3 hour ride into an all day affair. You can't drive faster than the traffic and conditions permit. So, I'm glad we left when we did in terms of time saved. However, since the JK is only a few months old, I am a bit sorry I didn't get to try it in the foot of snow.


My regards,

Widewing

We had some snow here once about ten years ago, we thought it snowed a second time but it turned out that was just the day the grits factory exploded.
