Hey guys, Minnesotan here. I'm spending my nights crying as the skiing season is coming to an end. Do you guys have any suggestions about how I can spend my time in the summer?

Biking. Taking your mind off skiing completely for 4-5 months is pretty nice.

No no no. This season can't end yet. I don't want summer.
I usually spend my summers just thinking about skiing. Sometimes I skate, or jump on my friends tramps.

I work for most of the summer/fall so I can take winters off and ski. I thought that's what summer was for?

Also, when I'm not working I like to recreated music festivals, drink at the beach, hike mountains, hang out having daytime beers on a patio somewhere, preferably by a lake or ocean. But mostly work.

make money so you dont have to work during the winter. plus skiing is your motivation so you can motivate yourself more

other than that, bike, slackline, trampolines, drinking, diving boards, more drinking, get in shape for ski season, even more drinking, hike, longboard, the possibilities are endless

oh and lots of drinking. gotta get that beer endurance up for ski season

Exactly. I miss skiing so much in the spring, but then I hop on my bike, and the pain subsides until the first snowfall. Biking and skiing are almost even for me (downhill and bmx), but skiing is still my #1 girl.

in the summer I switch about 50% of my NS time to pinkbike and become obsessed with mountain biking and watch sick DH edits and dream about owning a 8000 dollar DH bike. then I go ride cross country on my shitty bike.

how to ski in summer:
1. get a shovel
2. dig a hole about 10 feet deep by 10 feet wide and 20 feet long.
3.fill with snow. may need help with a snow blower.
cover entire thing with tarps.
pile dead leaves on top of this about three feet high.
if u use a ramp this should last you a few months like until end of june or maybe into july.
or astroturf.
