ever since the ski season ended for me ive been nothing but stoked for next season, beyond the stoke ive ever felt for anything ive been stoked for in my life. literally, skiing is all i think about all day since april when the snow melted. every day i go on NS and watch loads of videos. i put my boots and skis on and stand in my room like every 2 days. i feel like im in love as skiing is the first and last thing i think about every day. i think about skiing more than my gf. when shes over i sometimes get distracted looking at ski related shit on my phone. so overall, idk, im in love with skiing and i cant wait for the next season. its all i want. do i have a problem

I used to feel how you felt, come august I would just fiend skiing. Now that I've gotten older, I find joy in other activities so I'm kinda stoked its still summer. Definitely looking forward to sept/oct when its super nice outside and not too hot.

Fall will be here before you know it and you are already running out of time to train. The better shape you are in the more fun you will have when the time comes. Stay stoked!

Basically I feel ya, but I have analyzed it in a different way.

All summer I drown myself in work, with occasional times off to hangout with a couple old friends.

In the winter, I go to college, I hangout with so many different people, and I work a lot less at jobs that are more fun, and I ski all the time.

My point being that when you are young and in school, winter is oddly appealing. You are always surrounded by friends and as a skier, its awesome. For a lot of us, life is easier in the winter, and we assosciate skiing with the good life

Yup. Next season is season #2 for me so I'm definitely feeling it too. Fortunately I've been able to immerse myself in other summer activities though.

I mean the east has Snowflex. It's not real snow or anything but it's still rad as hell if you're a park skier

Unless you live within about 2 or 3 hrs going to hood is still a trip, whether you drive 4 hrs or 24 hrs. Also it's pretty expensive for what you get, sure it's super fun but about 4 hrs of shredding max and if you come after July 1st you're probably hiking to the bottom of the lift to take laps or hiking the park.

Don't get me wrong, I've gone to hood may a time and paid for passes and barely been able to lap the mile and it's still so fun.
