Weather here in southern california has been mediocre at best! Bad surf, and the water is facking cold (Like 50's cold). Is this a sign for things to come

I'm with you. I've still got a couple of summer activity projects to knock off. I'll take my turn on a dime on Nov 1. Stay summerish til then.

Leaves are turning gold around here. Fire season didn't happen, and the forecast is for highs in the low 60's next week. Baker should see snow above 8000' on Thursday. Probably just a trace, and not worth hiking for....yet.
Last year I made my first powder turns in the first week of September. I'm going to try to match that this year.Living vicariously through myself.

I'm there. Well mostly. Did some ski repair [all of the do-list is done] and ordered up two new pair. One for inbounds and one for toruing. I've sworn off the gear-whore thing for a while, but it seems I've fallen off the truck.

Hey, JBOD - that was one psychic post. You might have established a surf/water temp precursor for killer winters.
How you doin', mang?

It is that time of year again. Felt it turn over a week ago and yes, warm days are not gone but they are fading. In the high country the vine maple is turning. It is coming.
The snow doesn't give a soft white damn whom it touches.

dustings in the canadian rockies the last few days (at ski hill elevations. up where the glaciers are it hasn't stopped snowing all summer, it seems)
i've also been thinking: summer can't be over without one of 666's new zealand threads, can it?
