The faintest color changes at 9700 feet yesterday...
https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/ser...573168/enhance
On my ride last night, saw some vegetation slightly turning, and a few times got that whiff of decaying vegetation that screams "Fall". It is coming.
Heard my first elk bugle of the season today...that’s fairly early.
i spend a lot of time outside.
Fuck this. Still summer. Attachment 292302
Early morning, Crested Butte. Green as hell. If it’s not the Turn yet here, it’s not the turn anywhere. So knock it off. Even the top of Cottonwood Pass is mid summer.

I wore arm warmers for the first part of my ride yesterday. That's something, right? But really, the Turn can't even be considered until after Labor Day weekend.
Agreed, I feel it more around Halloween.
Is the CB side still prohibiting trailers of any kind?Quote:

really irritated with the "no trailers" thing. Was all excited that I might be able to go Cottonwood to get to my campsite by the Taylor River this year, but no.... Bastards.

Also, you people who are talking about feeling the turn after Halloween are just as wrong as the guy who bumped it back in early August. :nonono2:

I guess what I am saying is that I generally don’t feel like skiing until after Halloween, I still wanna be riding my bike. But the ‘turn’ comes earlier than that.Quote:

The "Turn" has started for me personally. I'm down to 15 weeks of work before my winter gig starts as a professional skier sponsored by.... well, me. LOL. Jokes aside, the turn has been internal. Started the leg blasters routine + paddle boarding + tennis + slacklining + hot tubbing + sauna training regimen. Currently up to 6 mini leg blasters. Legs are getting stronger and growing. Still far from ski shape, but those leg blasters are legit.
Also started the yearly skibum diet of: I cannot buy beer, but I can drink it if offered by friends (saves money and shaves lbs.). This year's mental "turn" has been the strongest yet. And I hope it is a grand payout as I'm heading back to Whistler for the winter. The turn is real over here.
On the trail last night and I can feel it just starting here.
Start back up at the ski shop on Sunday....”The Turn” has started...at least for me.
Local said all his hickory trees had dropped their nuts. Kind of early for that.
Hiked up on the mtn with my buddy, he wanted to inspect the logging work. Some color here and there, mostly sugar Maples.
Hot as shit in the CO mtns still .....over it
Wife is knitting beanies in the hopes of snow. Was cool last night when biking.
Driving over VP Wed night, temp showed 37F. Soon.Quote:
