I've been living as a skibum the past four seasons and now I'm taking a year off to do someting else...
But now when the snow is falling outside my window I just feel kinda angry and sad caus I probably wont be skiing for more than a week or two this season..
Have any suggestions or just generallly something fun to say to make me feel a bit better?

what he said. My friend once said to me, "Skiing is like and STI, most times you can't cure it, once you get it, you just have to live with it."

because you have a job doesnt mean you work 24 hours a day/7 days a week. If you love skiing there is always a way.
Im the best example, I have no car, im also a student at full time with a huge workload. I still managed to ski.

Well, to you It's probably reasonable, and I'd deff do the same thing if I was you. But I pretty much live in the flattest part of my country and as a big mountain skier I don't really get that much satisfaction out of doing rails on a small hill. The nearest bigger mountains are like 1000 km away sad but true...
Maybe I just should work on my park skills a bit more, hmmm...

Get a job that allows you to do what you like...
But if not possible, make due with what you have (rails/such).

Same, accept this is my first semester so I haven't really tested this theory out much, but it seems to be working for pre season

and if it makes you feel any better I have strep and I have been sick for about 2 of the first 3 months of college

you should probably quit your job and work as a janitor for the rest of your life

sorry, i hate correcting people but it's except not accept.

and to address the thread....if you've been a ski bum for the past 4 seasons what is your plan for life?  I mean you must not be in college and you must not be in a serious job either.  I would address that issue before you worry about skiing.  Skiing costs a lot of money, and if you don't have a consistent source of money.... well then you really can't ski.

<<< Post Whore. Sorry. (LOL)

If you're into auto's then you're brain kind of trails off into another dimension so when you look at something you think, in this case, of Subie's. HAHA!

Anywho...

If you keep thinking of skiing then go ski. Best remedy.

Rails on a small hill are better than nothing. Deal with it while you have to.  I dont mean to be a bitch, but honestly. Skiing is skiing. Chances are it won't be like that forever.  Suck it up.
