I feel like i find myself losng passion for skiing. Im thinkin that maybe this year i will hit 20 days on the snow, compared to like 80 last year. Watching ski movies and shit, i feel like i cant progress, i know skiing is about fun. its just that progression makes it fun. i dont know, anybody else get this.

hahaha, actually, that attitude (to me) says that you will progress a lot. because it kills you that you arent progressing. any truth to that?

^exactly, but i do know what you mean.. i was at that point with bmx about a yr ago, but i kept on riding and got over that hump and now i learn something new almost everytime i go out and ride and if i don't learn somethning new i will improve on an old trick... i think everyone hits a hump though you just have to stick with it and work your way past it

If you're feeling burnt out on skiing, look at what type of skiing you're doing...mostly park maybe? Then mix it up, ride big mountain, or maybe try telemarking for awhile...just do something new. I got really burnt out on sport climbing this summer, so I started doing more alpine climbing, and it helped out alot...just try different things, it makes all the difference.

people who are saying to get some pow, go out west and it'll all change is sooooo true. I rode for 9 years on the east coast, and was stoked on skiing, like it was my life. Then last december i was in whistler for the huggeee dump they got... the first that came to my mine after my first run full of face shots and nipple high pow was..... 'oh... so THIS is what all the fuss is about'

don't be focused on being pro! not to be pessimistic but you probably won't be pro and it seems like that's your goal (or to be the best at your hill). find the real reason you ski and you'll like skiing again.

well your shitty attitude isnt helping much either If skiing isnt fun anymore pick something else up like I dunno snowmobiling or something. Or you could shovel peoples driveways everytime theres a HUGE dump of POW! That sounds fun doesn't it?

Yeah, when I start getting pissed at myself if I'm having a bad day in the park, I just go out and ski for the rest of the day. Just make some turns and have a blast. The park kinda forces progression onto you which can be frustrating, but just going out and skiing half the time can make you realize why you started in the first place.
