paragonUE Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 So here I am, sitting in arguably the coolest room in my house, the bar, When I glance to my right. There sits my new renntiger, factory prime, and clash. I was immediatly struck by a wave of meloncholy. it rates among some of the worst, pit of my stomach feelings I may have ever had. Sometimes longboarding isnt enough. anybody have suggestions for beating the blues/lack of snow cabin fever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 When you reach that point there are two things you can do. You can drink or you can take a plane to the other hemisphere. Unfortunately One fixes the problem and one only covers it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I can relate, somewhat. I can still see snow on the mountain tops and cannot get to it. My honeydo list is killin' me! Just got my 164 Rad-Air LSD from RJ, mounted up the TD2's, and all I can do is stare at it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 My wife knows me well enough that she is able to intuit when I'm thinking of snow. Happens alot this time of year and she rolls her eyes and walks away as if it's pointless to talk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEJ Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Dude, you recycle it, or more correct, reuse it. (That's a more "green" concept) We carve the snow at Tahoe, and then when it melts we rip it up in the delta. (Same water, just downstream). Water ski, wakeboard, barefoot, inland surf, what ever you want to do. There's got to be some melted snow going by your place, or loading up in a reservoir somewhere. USE THE SNOW AGAIN! Welcome to WATERSPORTS, your summer fix. Actually, watersports got me into the winter sports. I played behind the boat long before I found out about playing in the snow. Find a buddy with a boat and start enjoying the other half of the water cycle. Even with gas prices today, it's still cheaper than lift tickets with a boat load of buddies.

Gleb Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Get a slalom skateboard. Just had an amazing day of it yesterday in Antrim, NH with Glenn C and wavechaser. It beats the sh*t out of longboarding, as far as being similar to alpine. Its cheap...er, an insane workout, and will make you a better alpine rider. Just do it!

utahcarver Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 ...the bitter heady hotness of summer makes the sweetness of winter taste so fine!!! And who can forget the almost erotic teasing of a crisp fall day? I've found that cooking/grilling/dutch ovening food in the evenings for myself and others, making cool adult beverages with a blender, and skating at my local park, biking, and longboarding takes a bit of the sting out of summer. Alas, I usually end up at the local (and only) watering hole by 10pm and taking a bike ride home makes a temptuous remedy for the summertime blues. Without the hot weather, my tomatoes, peppers, kale, and squashes wouldn't do so well. So, abide the heat and find some solace in knowing that there is no Eternal Summer.

pebu Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I had a dream where there was snow on the ground. I think it was the last day of august and there was an accumulation of about 2 inches... I was so excited I couldn't stand it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
