My guess is December 8th for Brainerd.
PS- I get out as soon as there is a couple of inches on the golf courses.

Hoping for the beginning of December in the far north. But.... was at a ski swap over the weekend and in the small area devoted to xc gear I found a pair of never used Atomic World Cup classic boards flexed for my weight at less than one third of retail price. Circled back to them three times before bowing to fate, blowing the budget and taking them home.

in the area i live, groomed trails....hopefully by christmas/new years

Banks- nice skis!

Hopefully by mid december in the places I go

last sunday at theo wirth park in mpls.

I had my hopes up this past Saturday, but we only ended up with a dusting. Sartell (60 miles south of me) got 11".

Missed my prediction. We have NO snow on the ground and there were bugs flying in my backyard today. I am going fishing tonight for the first time this season and the ice skating has been fantastic for the last week or so, so not all bad. I do want to get back on the skis soon though.

4 times skiing at theo wirth park. it sucks and the bottom of my rocks skis are nearing the ends of their lives. but it is skiing.
