Early October seems like a good time to start the new thread. Ski season is coming quickly, and I for one, and remaining optimistic that it will be great!

The biggest news is probably that Timberline will be open with all new lifts.... I hope to get out there a few times personally. Perhaps there will be a Mid-A Gathering there?

And of course, I'm wondering how most places will deal with crowds, indoor spaces, and lift tickets.

Let's just hope that it's cold... the snow guns work... we get some real snow... and everyone has a great and safe season!

Not familiar with this shops 7 locations are any near the NJ State Line? I may want to put some equipment in the tent sale, and I'm guessing that they offer store credit not cash.

Shirley, you can't be serious about changing your name to Siri.

Not only is a reserved time block required for shopping, it is also required for dropping off equipment. I will be working the swap all day Saturday and Sunday.

It will be a totally different swap experience this year, and hopefully everyone stays safe and healthy!

The Alpine Ski Shop by Boone and Blowing Rock is also having a swap about that time.

Be careful what you ask for. One of the sweetest ski resorts around Blowing Rock ended up shutting down the lifts over a dispute with the town board over golf course vs ski resort property use disputes. I'm still pretty pissed about that more than 10 years after the lifts stopped spinning.

There's the Laurel Valley Golf Club, Ligonier Country Club, and the Rolling Rock Club has a private golf course. All are near Laurel Mountain. There is no Laurel Hill Golf Club that I know of but I'm not a golfer.

Not a golfer ether but I have a friend from HS that has said something about a Laurel Hill Club. Above @dbostedo has said there is but not near the ski area. Thanks to both of you guys.

The first forecast overnight temps in the 30's for Northern Virginia have finally shown up.... two weeks away so accuracy is suspect, but still.... winter is coming!
