Haha ... Oh man I love NS. Especially when I read threads like this one. Its amaizing to see so many people (or at least their thoughts) on one place which are really stoked about fall. Most people I am talking to react like "whaat you are excited about shitty weather, cold air and fucking short days?"
But not in here - here this sentence would sound like "Jeaa, rainy weather - that means first snow on the peaks (smelling it down in the valley), cool air in the nose and more time to test out the new gear at home or playing SSX/watching the newest ski-movies with your friends"
