Ski Stoke.... signs of things to come this AM

[Marker]

I did a plant trial in Italy a few years ago in the city of Ferrara for 2 weeks. They are famous for their cappellaci di zucca, a kind of ravioli shaped like a bishop's miter, but when I asked what kind of squash they use, they translated it as "pumpkin". I saw it in the town square market and it looked nothing like ours, except the flesh. The best ravioli I've ever had with a pork ragu on top. I think I ate it at least 6 times while I was there and learned to make it when i came home. A lot of work but worth it!

I love pumpkin pie, bread, cheesecake, any baked goods, but can't abide pumpkin flavored beverages!

Exactly.

Do you have Trader Joe's in Colorado? They have a pumpkin beer every fall.

We do but only one is allowed to sell liquor due to our stupid liquor laws.

Killington has said they are only 45 days away from the return of snowmaking. That puts us around October 18th. I'm picking up my SL cheater skis in 2 weeks and they'll be primed and ready to go when Killington sets off the green light.

The grapes are getting ripe. Hope to work on a good whine soon, I mean wine.

We have about 100' of vine that is doing this. They taste really good, nothing like grocery store grapes.

It was a very pleasant 66 degrees out this morning. It was overcast but I didn't care as I was more excited about the temperature.

Sunny and a very pleasant 45 degrees here. Almost feels like fall is just around the corner

 

[MountainMonster]

received my first gear guide of the season today

 

[Jim McDonald]

Sunny & 45 is a typical mid-winter day in Tokyo .
If you can survive 2.5 months of miserable summer, we have great weather the rest of the year.

Went to the Christy Sports Powder Daze yesterday. Didnt buy a thing .

Another rainfall warning today. On the plus side they're calling this a fall like storm..

 

[Ron]

rain here this AM! more to come over the next couple of days, temps shouldn't get out of the 70's.

 

[Ron]

Happy September! light snow has fallen a few times now and pikes peak last night night. 38 here this AM, temps have been in the mid 70'. Its realistic that Abasin or Loveland chairs will be spinning in less than 60 days

 

[RachelV]

Yup, September means skiing next month!

 

[Ron]

Headed out now 44* for first road ride in full length tights

 

[raisingarizona]

Daydream season is officially here.

I'm a little annoyed they don't post more photos of the construction progress to build our stoke!
