Well, I wasn't thinking now. More like within the next 1 - 3 years, which is what makes me nervous. If it hasn't bottomed out yet, I'll be even *worse* off in the near future.

As for weather, cycling isn't my only passion, and I wasn't thinking of midwest or back east anyway. I want to move (back) to Colorado. They've already got lifts running there (A-Basin opened last weekend.). I'll gladly give up a few weeks on the bike in exchange for powder days. Those are few and far between in SoCal, and you have to be a lot wealthier than I am to afford regular trips to Mammoth or Tahoe.
