Labor Day

Labor Day has a feeling. For some it's sadness as summer comes to an end. For others it's anxiousness as school starts back up. But for many, it's excitement. I'm not sure how it happened but Labor Day is the official kick off to the ski and snowboard season. It's the day that we began to keep track of overnight temperatures and we start reading up on what a bunch of farmers have put in their almanac.

Only a bunch of crazies would start counting down to something that was still months away.
We're like kids waiting for Christmas. We go to movie premieres and torture ourselves by watching people ride in locations we'll never to able to go, with the ability and skill we secretly think we have, all the while it being 80 plus degrees outside. We take every opportunity we have to go into every shop in town that sells something related to snow. We start wearing hoodies and jackets way before we actually need to. For us, fall is the longest 3 to 4 months known to man. But like most things that we have to wait for in life, it always ends up being worth it.

Let us know what you do in anticipation of snow flurries?
