im like the only kid in my small town that freeskis, or the only one that does seriously, it sucks. no one to talk to about skiing, get stoked for skiing with, and it makes me jealous of the lifestyle thing, like i just watched cosco's summer edit thing with him and matt and mike, and its like well this sucks look at all the fun theyre having year round and here all i get to do is meet them at a comp or 2 during the season then its back to the prairies.

most of my friends will not even recognize skiing as a sport



to them it is just a hobby



to me it is a way of life

I'm in the prairies too and there's a handful of skiers in my town. But mostly I just ride with my bud that snowboards. it's kind of weird that way.

about 3 grand at my school. about 1.2 grand snowboard. by that i mean have in there life and my go once a year. theres MAYBE 300 that go often, and probably 5 taht are actually good at park.

as for skiiers.. proabbly 400 ski. maybe 45 that get out more than 10 times. 8 kids have balls to ride park, 3 have twin tips, and im the solitary one who has any idea of the actual lifestyle of a skiier that all of us on ns share.

there are 4 kids that i ski with everyweeked that are at my level and share the life, but thats only because they are such close family friends, that they are pretty much family

meet people on the hill man. riding with a shit load of kids is over rated. you gotta wait and do what everyone wants to do...usually get high all day. at least that's my feeling for park. for cruisin' its always fun to race around with a couple fast kids. anymore than 5 and it can be overwhelming keeping track of dumb shits who get lost.

its only awkward if theres like a family or something on the lift/gondola and none of you talk. if theres just you and some other lone skier, strike up a conversation and make friends. you may not be a lonely skier for long.

wow that sucks...just keep your goggles on, guard yourself with your poles and look out the window.  yeah one of the guys i met in the gondola was like 77 and used to do mogul comps and he showed me how to do a good backflip. it was one of the last days and he asked the attendant how many days he put in that year and she was like 132.  and the guy said damn not as many as last year, too bad i had to miss a week.  i want to be like that when im 77 lol.
