So many other activities to occupy your time and thoughts..........
All: The skiing jones thing I feel is often due to the fact that many skiers do not have other activities that they love just as much. By filling the time between the last run and the first run of the next season with other great activities, I find I never jones to ski. But in reality, these other activities are done to be "ready" to ski.
For most skiers, I would strongly consider a mountain bike. Good, solid, single track riding is so similar to woods skiing, that not only does it provide a thrill and require skills mastery, but the physical exercise will really help the skiing.
Next, fall hiking is so close to skiing as well...........Go hike the ski area. Again, the exercise is great and the views are super and this allows the day dreaming that some alluded to, even better. You are in the mountains, the colors are changing, the weather is cooler and you know that soon you will get to slide down the mountain vs walk.
I would also get a sea or whitewater kayak. Both will allow another seasonal activity that will take away the jones, let you buy gear like so many skiers just have to do, and even load more stuff on top of your car.
Finally, as you move to August trip planning should begin and as you pull out the tights for the fall mountain biking, begin to go hike in search of new stashes or BC routes all of a sudden you'll find you are having a great time getting those last rides, kayaks and hikes in...................and then you wake up one morning (especially when you live at 1600 feet) and the whole yard is white..........................and the new season has begun.
So get out and hike, bike, and paddle folks. The fall is one of the best times. If that doesn't cure it.................well pour yourself an IPA, head down the basement and flex your boards............it'll be snowin' soon!
Some glaringly obvious issues - way too wide of a stance; little in the way of good A&E; and erratic and way too firm pole planting/swinging... :blink:
