Economy just ended my season before it began

who8myrice · 2010-06-05 11:45:19

Well my parents just told me we will be selling both ski houses.. and wont make it to the mountains next year because were pretty much totally broke. Damn economy totally effed my dads building business.. Anyone else's skiing been affected by the economy? Make me feel better :(

I sympathise... Kind of. My parent's business has turned to shit and that's putting huge stress on them. I don't care about the money really (I'm 18... at university) because it wont affect me.

I'm still so thankful for my life though. I probably have a better life than 99% of the world.

i live in australia! i drive for a day to get remotely near a skiable mountain (or fly 2hours + drive 2 hours). You're lucky you're only 4 hours drive away.

I just moved to Yellowknife and there isn't a single ski resort in the territory (equivalent of state), we have a gravel pit with a few rails and boxes, and one in-run for a larger jump. you hike every run. love skiing? you learn to make do and appreciate what you have.

I think I would rather have a shitty hill 10 minutes away than having to drive a few hours to get to the mountains.

Lemme set one thing straight.. i'm NOT a rich fuck. If anything, im worse off than 99% of NS. House is under foreclosure. College fund is gone. Dad's jobless.. shit went downhill fast

Skiing is the least of my problems.

I'm not going to be a douche, that honestly sucks. Its not the material things in life that determine whether or not we're blessed though, and I don't see any reason why you had it any better than anyone else before this happened(or why all these people are complaining). Either way, keep your head up, stay skiing, and learn as much as possible from this new perspective! Credit crisis fucked shit up, you'll make it out ok though.

you'll live. My family lost our only house, never had a college fund, never owned a car - yet I still managed to have the most amazing 4.5 years at USC, skiing Mammoth over 100 days a year. You know what you do? get a job and work your butt off!

This year me and my friends drove for 3 hours to get to a not shitty park, luckily it was the canyons in park city, best day of year, very worth the 3 hour drive was so worth it. who cares about driving, just get up at 6, drive for a few hours, get there by 9 and your set, just because you cant get up at the crack of dawn to walk outside and ski doesn't mean you can have a full day of skiing.

BOTH SKI HOUSE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah dude, i feel you, the bank repo'd my gulfsteam 5 so now all I have is a shitty gulfstream 4. And on top of that i chipped a tooth on my 24ct gold grill, thats gonna cost skrilla. Then i got a flat on my caddy, and i can't fix that kinda shit so i have to go and buy a new whole new range rover. And shittttt son, i ONLY sold 40 pound of chron last years so i dont think i'll be able to afford that house in aspen and house in vail, imma have to rent on of those puppys out for the winter.

GOD MY LIFE SUCKS SO FUCKING BAD!

tell you dad to get a fucking job, just checked, and those DO exist right now.

no college fund? pay for it yourself like most people do.

house under foreclosure? get rid of it and rent a place.

worse off then 99% of ns? i think not. 99% of ns is under the age of 18, jobless, and get money from their parents to buy everything.

please, do something about and stop trying to get sympathy from people who couldn't care less if you had to sell your god damn ski houses. maybe someone at the yacht club will understand you better.
