Almost two years ago it happened I'll always remember that day no matter what. It was cold and dark..... I rode through the park and went off the lip of a rail... It was so great of a feeling! Ever since then when ever I can I have been skiing park... I learned so much in the park and went from being a gapper to an ok park skier. It didn't stop there... I spent all my time thinking about skiing when I wasn't skiing... From drawing skiers in class to going into my backyard and making weird contraptions such as drop ins and rails. I then started going on websites and apps and communicating with other people who have the same addiction. But that didn't help... It made it worse.... I began making edits/ obsessing over when a certain season would come. I began treating the weather man like a god hoping it would snow a lot. I spent all my money on cloths and I occasionally would have to shell out 300$ for new skis. After a while of thinking and after taking a break from it I realized skiing is an addiction ....if I wanted to stop skiing I couldn't.........I love skiing so much it's crazy how you can enjoy something this much....skiing is an addiction but it's also a blessing, a passion, and a way to enjoy life to the fullest.
I agree. Its crazy that skiing is something so many people are SO passionate about. I mean shit this forum is the nicest forum i've ever seen on the interwebs and its for park skiing. Ive met the coolest people thru skiing and this website. I feel u OP, 100% skiing rocks my sox
I threw away my highschool experience, decided not to go to college, and personally payed thousands to fuel my skiing obsession. No regrets.
Im in the exact same boat OP. I have a problem.
Currently in the backyard rail-building phase, and I know this is going to be the winter I get into the edit-making phase. All in all, same story in my case.
tru, honestly don't think I could live happily without skiing, dropped bank on a summer setup and rails, and worked all summer so I could go out to hood for a week

You have been infected with PRS (Park Rider Syndrome). There is no known cure.
Only way you can get better is by getting a serious injury or getting way old.
Good luck!

Once you move on from PRS then you can only hope to have as much fun and carry as much stoke as the man above.

Hey, I'm only 54! It's really helps to have NO KIDS! Kids at home can make one old fast, but others "kids" on skis keep one young! Thanks GUCCI!

The story of my life...
Coming from Southeastern Pa, my ski obsession runs through the family and about two other people that I know. It's weird how much I stick out and am ultimately quite a loner at my school because of how little I care about anything except skiing.

Ebola My current X Ray of my neck..... I'll still be getting back to skiing ASAP.... god I can wait!
Ouch! Once you got PRS it's like no cure! Heal well!

I was still adding photos. The skiing photos are from being infected with PRS and it got way worse as my knee got stronger. NO CURE!
Now go look again. I thought the song would be funny!

A broken hand, a separated tailbone, 2 broken vertebrae, 2 skull fractures, a ripped off ear, some sliced ligaments, and a fuckton of concussions later I'm still here and I'll still be here attempting to do some dope ass shit and fail at it but have a fuck load of fun doing it. Here's to keeping shredding real and kicking ass year after fucking year!

You are one tough cookie! Inspiring! You got PRS stage 9 infection!
Saying this in september just put everyones minds in the IM SO FUCKING STOKED FOR SKIING RIGHT NOW mindset
Those suffering from PRS wear their broken bones & blown knees with pride. You only get more addicted after every injury
It's insane how passionate I am about skiing lately... I'm even doing half days at school so I can get out at 12 o'clock and ski every day. I'm going to ski over 130 days this season and I have been counting down the days.
skiing is all i think about. i tell people this at school and stuff and they just don't understand. I don't really know how to explain it, i think it's hard for a lot of us to put what skiing means to us into words, but i know that you guys understand.
Like all of my ski buddies at school still don't understand skiing. They are like "Dude i didnt know you skied" Im like yah i do and its the shit. You almost never ski cuz your lazy, but it aint my fault you don't get to feel what everyone else is

I I totally feel you guys. Skiing is just amazing.
To be at the mountain, in the snow, out in the cold winter or the warm summer, with two planks on my feet, that's where at I'm at my happiest
Now to just find an attractive girl who feels the same way...
