ok i mountain bike somewhat with the summer camp i work at, at mount snow, but its strictly a work thing, i dont do it on my own time. my question is its pretty fun but theres so many things more fun and less painful and dirty, so why would you buy a $2000 mountain bike when you could spend half as much on a sweet ski set-up. Also theres so many repairs and shit that need to be made, its just no where near as good as skiing, and i personally think the amount of fun in it isnt worth the hassle of having a chain brake in the middle of nowhere or some other annoying shit.

It's different for everyone. I can't ski anymore, but you know the high you get? I get that high from biking. That's why I do it.

yeah neither do i. i bike down 'the most challenging terrain' in the east at mount snow, but still its ok, but it seems like more trouble than its worth, but i guess if your really into it then sweet. And i wasnt saying youd kick ass just because you have good skis i was merely pointing out that its damn expensive to mountain bike.

Mountain biking is just something to fill up the summer for me. Skiing is way better but I'm not just going to sit on my ass all summer ya know, gotta do something.
