the begining of the season is oh sooooooo close you can feel it in the air. temps falling, precipitation coming, mountains turning white!!! sleds being pulled out of storage, cleaned up and readied for action .peeps busy finishing up this years mods in anticipation of the coming pow. the smell of plastic as new sleds are being fired for the first time. i love the smell of a 2 stroke in the morning, it smells like victory
