Can't get to my ski area due to avalanches/road closures so I was enjoying the neighborhood.

At least you can enjoy skiing at home.

No crowds.

^ between me and June Mountain. It is going to take a while to clean up. The last time we had enough snow to ski here in Walker was 2011 and my gratitude is boundless for the snow this year (even though shoveling is killing me) If I could not ski I would be insufferable. My housemate would be grateful too if she knew just how insufferable.  My neighbors just shake their heads and keep their distance except for the Marine who stopped to tell me nicely done. I don't think anyone saw me fall on my butt in the middle of the street last week.

Thanks! That is currently my desktop.

My 30 year old Sorrel boots split open on the side. One hell of a time to be without winter boots but at least I have a lot of wool socks.

Bought a pair of Sorrels in 1986 and keeping them in service. Bummer yours has split out as the new ones are not made in Canada anymore and don't last very long. Fixable?

Julie and I each got a pair of Sorel Chieftains - around 1990 for standing around at SAR incidents and all the times I got corralled into driving snow-cats. They are extreme duty, don't know if they are still sold, but they are still going strong after A LOT of use. We still use them for snow clean up around here. Boy, have they paid for themselves, kind of like that tractor in the little garage.

 

I sure hope your pair can be repaired or replaced.

It is a split in the rubber where the upper meets the sole. So I am awake in the wee hours this morning and I think - bicycle tire patch(s)?And then I look on line and find either Aquaseal or Shoo Goo. Yeah - I'll try and fix them.
