So we're now into mid-late-September and it's actually starting to look a bit like winter. Not around here, of course. Copper Mountain posted some pictures yesterday of the snow they had gotten. It definitely looked like more than a dusting. They also had some comment about the second day of fall being the first day of winter. There were several mountain ranges in the west that got snow over the last few days.
A week or so ago, I saw on facebook that one of the mountains in New Hampshire was firing up their snow guns. Nothing to get excited about yet, they were having a night with cold enough temperatures to fire up the guns for a test run. I haven't seen anything about natural snow falling up north yet.
It will be quite a while before we start seeing any of the white stuff on the East Coast, at least our part of the coast. Hopefully it'll be a cold winter with lots of snow!

It's Only September
We're still months away from any snowboarding, but it's getting closer. USASA is starting to post information about this winter. Hopefully the Appalachian Series will have schedules up soon. I'd really like to know how many boarder cross competitions there will be and where they're going to be held. It would be especially useful if there's only going to be one or two and we have to go out of series for her to get in a couple more.
Whitney also has a list of things she needs to look into before the season starts. She's going to find out the requirements for becoming a snowboard instructor. It would improve her skills plus give her a good job skill. Not that we live close enough to a mountain right now for that to be a possibility but when she goes off to college, it would be good. I would guess she probably has to be 18 though. The other thing she's going to look into is the USSSA (not sure if that's too many "S"s or not) since they are the feeder organization to the Olympics, as I understand it.
For sure on our schedule is the parent meeting at Massanutten in November, practices there all winter, and hopefully another trip to Nationals at Copper Mountain in April.
