But mass transfer accelerated by highly turbulent air can make it feel much better.

Not really, but at least you spend less time baking

We'll be thinkin' about you when you've had a month of 100 plus temps and it's only in the 70s and 80s up North.

Yeah, that'll be a fantastic 5 minutes for y'all

international motorcycle show in cleveland today. That should help the winter doldrums a bit.

If you live in snowy areas, you have to learn to embrace it. Falling off mountains with sticks strapped to my feet works for me. Go watch some Warren Miller videos and get fired up about winter while its here!

yeah, that's about the only thing that keeps me sane. Been a skier since I was a kid, but decided to take up snowboarding at the grand old age of 43 so I can hang with my 9yr old kid.

However, I'll be really, really happy to put away the snowy hill riding projectiles and pull the monsters out of the garage anytime now.

I hadn't skiied since highschool and picked it up again at 45, same time I started motorcycling. Made my first Out West skiing trip a couple of weeks ago to Whitefish, MT - best time of my life. Just got in from 4 miles of cross country - beautiful sparkly morning.

i went friday. it wasn't bad

redxblack · January 30, 2011, 06:23:35 PM

I went Saturday and it was overcrowded and underwhelming, imo. My favorite vendors from prior years weren't there. I was looking for a couple pieces of gear and left empty handed. I did sit on a repsol honda and it felt really good, so that was a plus.

Over 400 miles so far on the new sled (weekend riding only). I'd have gone postal by now if I hadn't gotten back into snowmobiling this year.....

Quote from: redxblack on January 26, 2011, 09:51:35 AMabout 45 days until the spring thaw. ugh.

I wish I could be confident we'd thaw by March 12.

Otto wanted to know when he could get out and play.

Did you actually ride on that road?

There are some fairly effective treatments available these day, you know...

I love riding in fresh snow.

...but we only get it for a few hours a year

a little under 300 for me so far (only 1 weekend under my belt as of now). I am probably hitting Tug Hill, NY or PA Grand Canyon this weekend.

I've read some good stuff about Tug Hill. Sounds like a hoot!
