Y’all not gonna lie it’s hard trying to find high quality people in the ski/bike game…. Where can I find them?? I know there’s a lot of em here n there in the ski world but they’re hard to pick outta the crowd.
It's cool to be around people you value that are all the same as you but it's hard to come by and like dingo said, ski towns definitely aren't it and honestly having childhood friends you still regularly see is cheating a bit cuz I'm a bit biased.
Why not try meeting people outside of this scene? Honestly most people I've casually talked about skiing with who were the most stoked were people who didn't ski at all or have gone a few times. Why not show others some cool stuff
It is very hard, its kinda the reason that I mostly ski/bike alone, like yea its fun to shred with homies but especially living in the midwest the volume of skiers/bikers is low and makes it hard to assemble a good crew of real peeps that are more than just fair-weather ski friends. Honestly I just kinds stick to my own vibe and if I come across somebody that that vibe clicks with its great, but If I catch the vibe that somebody is kinda fake I really just stop giving my energy there, id much rather be on my own that with annoying mfs or people that dont really give a shit.
Ive probably made my best friends by just sticking to my own guns and that'll attract people that can be legit homies
I generally just look for nice and trustworthiness as my first pre requisites for a friend. You kind of can tell if someone is genuine pretty quick. I think some people get blinded by thinking “oh they’re so cool and fun because they do x, y and z and were friendly” without trying to judge if their friendliest is genuine
