Shoulder season is that in-between period when it's too wet for hiking and MTBing and yet not quite snowy enough for skiing. Usually it's November and sometimes early May and it means that H and I sit inside, gazing mournfully at our MTBs, noses figuratively pressed against the windows, wishing that the weather would just pick one so we can go outside and play.
This year, shoulder season seems to have come early: the third week of September brought record snowfall to northern Utah - as in Alta reported 14" and people went skiing. The Daily Pow reported:
We have not been that ambitious, instead going for short road rides and runs in between the raindrops, putting flannel sheets on the beds, baking brownies and fruit crisps, making soups and dehydrating stuff on our little food dryer. It's boring home stuff but at least we're making the best of it. Hopefully the weather will straighten itself out soon and we'll be able to get back on the trails for a while before the snow really flies. I feel like I'm not quite done hiking yet for the season.
