Why do you ski?

People have long asked me why I love skiing so much? I never knew how to respond to them except by saying "I don't know, I just do." After years of skiing and doing what I love it, the answer finally came to me. I suck at drawing, painting makes no sense, music is a foreign language, my voice is awful, its better I don't dance, but skiing, yeah I can do that. So it dawned on me that skiing is MY art and the mountains are MY canvas. I'm not a very vocal or expressive person, but skiing is my release. Its my way of expressing my individuality, freedom, and who I am in a form unlike any other. No one tells me how to ski, or what I can or cannot do, so it is just me and only me out there. And just like art, few may applaud, and often many may criticize, but I don't care, thats their choice. I'm going to continue to ski and create my art the way I see it. So, to answer all of them, that is why I love skiing.
