It’s getting colder out, the shops are starting to open… Early passes were on sale, they may not be at the same price as of today or sometime this week. Lets see the interest of everyone and who is roaring to go. Maybe this season we can setup a meet in Ellicottville for some riding, afterwards…stop at EBC for some delightful beer. ---

Can’t wait! I’ll be rocking my Burton Custom Animal deck, and Burton Joystick again this year. Stowe lacerated my thigh last season, so revenge is due. Mmmmmm… Swtichback Ale at the Matterhorn too! ---

I’ve been fiending for the last couple weeks. Pre-ordered a new helmet this year, Ruroc RG1x Viper, should have it sometime early Oct. ![http://csimg.shopwahl.de/srv/DE/00013147119462/T/340x340/C/FFFFFF/url/ruroc-skihelm-rg1-x-viper.jpg](http://csimg.shopwahl.de/srv/DE/00013147119462/T/340x340/C/FFFFFF/url/ruroc-skihelm-rg1-x-viper.jpg) Just need to get a backpack for the slopes, then my shopping for this years gear upgrade is done. (Looking at a Osprey Karve 16, feedback anyone?) Hopefully this year is better than the last 2 out here! ---

Got my daughter’s rental skis picked out and fitted last week, got the GTO all ready for hauling ski equipment. Bring on the SNOW! Doing the season night pass at Holiday this year. We skied mostly weeknights and if I want to go on a random Saturday I’ll just pay for a lift ticket. ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/20130831_101818_zps589caa0d.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/20130831_101818_zps589caa0d.jpg) ---

> [@yamba6](#): > > Yes!! Just hate when the hot ones where shit like the helmet posted up top. Only time you know they look good is when they go in the lodge. lol Considering I’ve only seen 1 of those helmets posted above in person/on the slopes; and there was no way it was a girl; I dunno what you’re talking about. The neoprene/fabric facemasks? And to those just riding the edge; everyone has to start somewhere; not to mention boarding out there in the east BLOWS… learning on sheet-ice essentially. I had to re-learn how to board when I moved out here; I was so used to ice-boarding that boarding in real powder and long trails crushed me until I adjusted. I can say that I’ve never biffed a landing and ending up chest deep in fluffy powder in WNY; but has out here a few times, and it’s EPIC; albeit sucks to dig out of. Aie… just talking about it is making me just crave even more to go get in some deep stuff! I’ve got a few hookups for this season that I didn’t have before, people I met at school, should be enjoying some different terrain and hopefully a lot more powder this year. I know this is a long-shot, but any feedback/recommendations on back-packs for side/back-country would be appreciated. ---

I was just saying fully covered up at the face and full body where you cant even tell its a female other than the colors and shape of their body.
