Whistler Ski Season in 3, 2, 1...

Have you ever gone early pre-season skiing in October and found tracks in your line? We did! It would seem earning your turns is the new black. Why wait for the lifts to spin if you don't have to, right?

OK we'll admit it, we knew our line had been hit the day before us, and the day before that, and the day before that too! We just thought the precip would cover up the tracks. The only catch? Fresh snow covers up tracks, light rain doesn't ;)

But rain crust and sore feet aside, we at Doglotion.com hereby announce that winter 2012/13 has commenced!

Dust off your planks. Go for a ski if you didn't already beat us to it. Hit the gym one last time (or first time in my case), and bring out the cough medicine cause it's gonna be sick.

Judging by the internet buzz there's plenty of other places with pre season antics going on. Post your trip report before Nov 22 to win mad Doglotion schwag!

Happy winter y'all.

Skin tracks and truck tracks.

Pre season gap jump. Tanner Hall would be so proud.

The slackcountry ain'tn so slack this time of year.

At least it looks like pow! One thing you can't argue, it is snow! And skiing! Beats a kick in the nutts.

Droppin' in. Or scraping in.

Lookin' back at familiar stomping grounds...
