Replying to I officially fucking hate August and its being so far from ski season...

So, I dont know if its just me, but every time August rolls around, I get stupid psyched for winter.. just out of nofuckingwhere. I will start busting out all my ski movies and flat out torture myself to death.

I think it has to do with the fact that in June and July, I can actually survive knowing theres potentially very good amounts of snow still surviving up in Oregon and BC... but come August, it hasnt snowed in at least 3 months, school is coming back, and winter seems as deads as fuck - therefore leading me to be looking forward to the upcoming winter EVEN MORE.

This year, sucks all the more. I have spent a LOT of time in Tahoe this summer, and the mountaintops are nearly snowless - a semi-rare sight for tahoe, even in August - Whats worse is I just recently got a job at a seriously LEGIT ski shop, and we are just starting to get all the new 2008 stuff in. I'm opening the hundreds of boxes of the new equip, and its killing me... seeing all the new stuff WAAAY before it even goes on sale or is seen in the gear guides of magazines is insane. (hellbents, EP Pros, and WALLS!! OH MY!)

I guess I'll just have to keep reminding myself that in a little over 2 months, it will be Halloween, and we MIGHT have enough snow to feed my craving...


Sorry for the life story... I'm just in distress like pretty much everyone else on here...
