Why go skiing?

Why go skiing?

I enjoy standing in long lines and all the wonderful traffic on powder days.

[The SnowShow]

To post sick footy for the boys and get all the likes

It’s a natural, zesty enterprise.

Why stay in College?
Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time.

Too old for sleigh riding. Too young to stop moving.

Current conditions leave me uninspired.

Growing up, and luckily through most of my 20s and 30s I was getting ~100 days in a year locally and travelling. Turns is turns I always said. Didn't matter where.

Then, life happened and I missed a year. Then I only got 3 days in the year after that. My next day on skis was the year after that in WNY in a once in a decade blizzard.

I got off the lift and made exactly one turn before I was reminded of why we go skiing.

Too young to snowboard, too old to die.

I have been so beat up the last few years I don't know if I ski any more. Doesn't look like this year between covid and my hip so I guess I'll be one year older when I do.

Because Icarus hit the ground and became a bloody heap..or because my anatomy doesn't allow me to fly. Skiing is as close as I can get.

Set my compass north
I got winter in my blood

lost a ski bum friend in a slide outside golden a few years ago
his catch phrase was always lookin back at your tracks
with a
"this is what we do"
for me it separates us from bums
who do other things

and i think i may be an addict

[BmillsSkier]

Were you Upstate?

Unquestionably.

[Timberridge]

For the soup.



I think the actual skiing part is overrated. It's expensive, cold and requires quite a bit of effort.

[skifishbum]

"this is what we do"

not doing it
would make us
not us

SFB, that looks like a lot of work to climb up that. An hour of climbing for 3.5 mins of skiing?

Embrace the skin. It's skiing at its purist.

because nothing else feels so right and skiing never feels wrong.

time means nothing
