The change of the seasons is underway. The Northern Hemisphere is tilting away from the sun; Our climate is taking it’s annual change from warm to cold; Our corner of the world is turning from light to dark. In the midst of all these changes, our minds here at FIS have turned from the warm valleys back to the snowy peaks. Despite our collective eagerness to transition back to winter however, I personally think it’s worth celebrating a few of the vestiges of summer before we take the plunge. In a small offering toward this end, here’s a collection of photographs from the past season that I hope will help you celebrate memories of summer, and psyche up for the transition from light to dark.

September First is an important date for skiers. It marks the transition from “summer months” to “fall months,” which have much better potential for skiing. Year round skiers have been known to use September 1 as the start of a “new ski year.” Today I’m honoring the day by posting the long-delayed Part 2 of my Roger’s Pass Trip last March.
