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

[Tricia]

We spent most of the summer with our windows closed and central air on because of smoke and heat. Today was the first day in a while that I turned the central off, opened windows and let the sierra breeze blow through the house. Feels good to fall asleep with the windows open.

One huge reason I love living in the mountains is the cool air temps and lack of need for A/C.

We don't normally have the central AC on but we did this year more because of the smoke and pollen issues to keep the air filtered in the house.
The smoke was really bad this year. I can't imagine how the firefighters are handling it.

My condo in Breck gets awfully stuffy. I FINALLY thought of asking the landlord for a ceiling fan. I wish I'd thought of that seven years ago! Both windows are on the same side of the condo, so you have to have the door open for cross breeze.

I'll say, I'm pretty sure it was cooler in Breck when we started renting. I remember 80 degree days being a rarity. Maybe @Doug Briggs would disagree, being there more often - I don't know!

You may want to add a room to room fan.

Screen door an option?

Eh. We'll see how this does. It's cooling down already these days, and I'm only there through next July.

Screen door an option?

I already leave the door open all day - it's a second floor condo with its own deck, and there's a gate, so two large dogs are on the deck most of the day in the summer. At night, though, I'm not willing to leave the door open, and a screen wouldn't change that.

Is this indicative of a change of passes

Yes, it has been noticeably warmer lately than 18 years ago.

I don't expect that to happen until/unless my local's lesson program goes away or becomes too restrictive. BUT I do have alerts going for condos in the area. I'll be renting or buying SOMEWHERE next summer. If I'm buying, I don't want to be locked into Breck. Frisco/Silverthorne/Dillon ... something like that. Maybe if I could ski weekdays, I'd be willing to commit like that.

I was gonna "like," but nothing to "like" about this =/

Less face freeze on the T-bar?

I’m in the middle of harvest season, got one variety of pears, two Asian pears, and a pear/quince hybrid done. Two more pear trees almost ready to harvest. In the middle of one apple tree, with four more apple trees left to ripen over the next month or so. When it starts getting colder, the hardy kiwis will be ready, and right after that it’s time to start checking weather forecasts for possible snow.

Today it was 47 degrees outside when I woke up (at sea level), it’s supposed to mid-70’s all week until some precipitation and cooler temperatures starting on Friday.

Always looking on the bright side, eh?

As long as it doesn't eliminate the free dermabrasion! Some people pay real money for that stuff!

The only signs I've noticed: it's now dark before 8p.m., and the outdoor pool where I swim is cold in the morning. When it's actually winter, the pool cover goes on at night and the water is nice and warm in the morning.

Killington has opened in October 8 times in the last 18 years with November filling up the remaining 10 years. Prior to 2000 an October opening was the norm. Overall the trend is shorter seasons.

Snow on the tops of Peaks 9-10 at Breck this a.m. That's Fourth of July Bowl on the left.
