So I bought my new pair of Black Crows Atris in the summer for a discount but after buying them Im now getting way to hyped for skiing. Watching videos all day, looking at new gear. I cant do anything else and im so annoyed im this hyped in July. I wanted to know if others have the same problem and how they focused on the activities at hand.

I have this 24/7 365 days a year. Even in winter when I'm not skiing. So yes, I have the same problem.

Been there dude. camping, biking, fishing, drinking, climbing, swimming...just take advantage of summer while its here!

Alternatively, if you live in a place that sucks then just work your ass off so you can buy more gear or finance a dream ski trip this winter.

Hah yes mate. My new sweet protection jacket just arrived and i had some Moment Deathwish mounted the other day. Getting your kit sorted nice and early for summer prices leaves your winter dollars free for adventures.

Hyped too but it will be here again before you know it !!!

Get a bike! Nothing like a good flow trail in the summer. I do still miss winter skiing either way most of the time though!

Happens to me all the time! Whenever gear comes I get crazy hype to ski. I'm hyped to ski almost all the time to be honest. In the summer though I mountain bike and it's definitely the 2nd best thing from skiing in my opinion. Rent a bike, try it out!

Yuuup. Felt the ski fever coming on as soon as the ski season ended. I'm just needing some inline skates or a pocket mountain.

Almost everyone here feels that way the day after closing. Just be depressed and wait.

Congrats Man, wish I could take my own advice. If you are still thinkin about the pow, Take up a little slack lining or extreme hammock. They use to work for me

Finding a relationship helps a lot, even tho u know they are gone when ski season hits, but it gives you something to occupy your mind with

Biking, trail running, climbing, fishing, pretty much doing anything outside helps for me, even if it's just an hour before work.

Other than that, watch a bunch of videos, read a bunch of gear reviews, go through old threads on NS, fondle your new skis. I don't really see any point in not being hyped to ski, as long as you're not just becoming miserable because you won't be able to do it for a few months. If you're getting really anxious, try and set training goals so you have something to focus on and you'll be in really good shape come ski season.

This is great. Try to do things that will directly benefit your ski season; whether that is exercise or doing some research to increase your knowledge. I like to place every activity I do into the context of skiing in order to quench that thirst.
