Stop it right now!!!! I'm so jealous. We're getting colder all the time around here, but the chance of any measureable snow is pretty slim before late November. If I were younger, and had no family responsibilities, I'd be living out west for sure.

We're planning a trip to Utah this Jan., so I'm hoping to get a bunch of days in around here before that.

I'm going to start my new gear shopping soon. I'll finally have a board of my own instead of my daughter's hand-me-down. Yippeee..
