Ridiculous

So I'm sitting here stuck at college (yes we have parties, but not until late at night) and you would be surprised by the blahness of a weekend afternoon. I could spend my time studying or playing video games or even exercising, but I really crave some good park laps and pow turns in the trees. The snow here in Massachusetts has pretty much melted except for a few spots and the remaining open mountains in New England. Unfortunately as a freshman I do not have access to a car, and have no way to get to a mountain, so I just sit here day dreaming and roaming NS. My question to others who may be suffering from a similar feeling, is what do you do to get rid of the craving to ski? It's not like summer where I just accept the fact that winter has come to an end, I know people are still out there skiing so it only makes me want to get out there more.

you are not alone, I too struggle with a skiing addiction. I go to school in LA and dont have a car so trips to bear and mammoth are few and far between. The only time I got to ski was my month off in December.

what helps me take my mind of skiing
-getting involved in sports whether it is club or intramural they motivate you to progress in something.

Find ways to network and get to the hill would be what I would do/did when I was in first year.

Post on the internet or around campus about ride shares, doesnt even need to be with students. Im sure you could find some old dudes kicking it up to the ski hill on the reg still.

During the spring I play rugby so that helps because usually I'm a little on edge after skiing is done so getting to tackle some bitches is pretty nice lolol then in summer I bmx and longboard. They're so much fun so I look forward to them and they give me something to try to progress at which is similar to skiing in a way. Then in the fall I'm usually adjusting to school so there's not much time for me to do anything. Pretty much I stay busy and make sure I have something to look forward to in each season. Then when winter comes and goes I can look forward to summer and it just repeats(:

^that's what I've been doing here in montreal, and it's been working alright for me. I don't go as much as I'd like but it's a ton better than nothing!
