...if you at least have any goals or ambition.  How can you honestly look at yourself and say that you'll continue the partying and drinking lifestyle?  How can you waste away the weekends when you should be with your significant others or friends, trying to build relationships?

It's tough to admit, but skiing is mostly for a younger, immature crowd.  At some point, we all need to grow up.  Maybe most of you will do that one day.

Last July I made the difficult desicion to move to Dallas, Texas for an amazing job opportunity. I haven't skied once this year. I miss it very much. As you grow up you just have to make some sacrifices. However, I love living in a city environment and have picked up new hobbies since I "gave up" skiing.

To the OPs point, it isn't that you should give up skiing; it's just that as you grow up and gain more responsibilities, you have to give up SOMETHING; there simply isn't enough time to enjoy all the things you did in school / college days. Plus, there's that whole supporting yourself + your family thing,

You don't have to have a life style like that, a lot of successful people have hobbies they do on the free time they get.

Well put. I agree 100% Regardless of whether OP is trolling it is worth telling him why he's wrong.

I realized this two years ago, and I'm only 16. It's shitty, but the truth.

I feel sorry for you if maturity entails the complex realization that skiing and partying are not sustainable lifelong habits. Jesus dude.

Haha that's impressive. I guess I phrased that wrong, its more of a personal opinion. Yes it is possible, but I'd agree with OP in that there is more to life than the ski bum mentality.
