Wild Mountain is open!
Trollhaugen is open!

So I was talking to Richard on IRC tonight and he pointed out the fact that Wild Mountain is open. So I went over to Wild Mountain’s site and sure enough they’ve already got one run open. Seeing Wild open this early is just plain awesome. It’s been years since I’ve seen Wild or Trollhaugen open this early. I remember back in High School, when I raced, it would take forever before we were on the hill skiing gates. Those were the days. Makes me want to skip dinner and drive out and go skiing right now!

On my way home today I noticed it was snowing. Well more flurries than anything else but hey its SNOW! I just recently bought a new snowmobile (used but new to me). I’ve been wanting to buy a snowmobile for years now, and I just happened to have enough extra income to afford the snowmobile.

I picked up a slightly used 2002 Polaris XC SP 600 with 1900 miles on it. For what I paid for it, the guy I bought the sled from was asking around $900 - $1200 less than comparable sleds that had more miles. I just couldn’t pass that deal up. So ever since I bought the snowmobile I’ve been itching for it to snow so I can go riding. The sight of snow today on the way home from work, put a nice little smile on my face, now if only it would accumulate enough so that I can go out for a ride.

Also I can’t wait for ski season to start again. It’s been almost a year since the last time I’ve been out skiing. I only went out riding twice last year. First time was Spirit Mountain’s opener weekend and went riding with Richard and company. Second time was when I went out west to Utah again with Richard and company. So between snowmobiling and skiing I am ready for winter to get here.

So for now as the title says “Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow”
