How you know you love skiing.

because even though i live in minnesnowda and we have crappy er parks, i still go up there at least 2 times a week. somtimes 3.
 
whenever someone mentions skiing i go on about it for at least 5 minutes straight talking about shit i landed and new things i'm trying to do and then realize they have no idea what i'm talking about and have only skiied once or twice. happens every time.
 
when u have a back yard setup year round whether its july or december

when u think about the friday night rail jam and how its goin down

when u land a new trick or hit a new rail and u wanna do it over and over again til its smooth and perfect

when its 50 degrees and raining and ur at ur hill sessioning a down rail
 
when you set up your schedual so that part of the week sucks, but every other day you get to go skiiing. and those days skiing more than make up for the days where you spend all day in classes.

...yeah it's one of those 'class' days today :(
 
-dancing and jumping around because you're so excited you have a ride lined up to the hill.

-depression, frustration and anger when you can't find a ride.

-leaning over the newschoolers homepage like a vulture whenver you're not skiing.

-evaluating the jibbing possibilities whenever you see any kind of slope or rail

-hanging around in ski shops, just so you can look at all the gleaming new equipment

-checking on line stores daily to see if they have any killer sales that you can't pass up

-making long distance calls home so you can ask your siblings what teh conditions are like at the 250 foot hill at home and how the park is, and if they landed any new tricks.

-when you keep your gear all in order in your dorm room so you can haul it on and be out the door in under 5 minutes to go skiing

-when you go outside with your skis at 1 in the morning to jib around campus just so you can go to sleep

-ditching your friends on the hill when they have to answer a cell phone/ do up snowboard bindings so you can get more runs in
 
having dreams about skiing sick locations all the time. even when just napping

skiing is very addictive
 
Rain, snow, sunshine, sleet, hail, ice, powder, groomed, from -15 or below to 100+ degree temperatures I'm skiing. From summer setups to epic pow conditions it doesn't matter. For me it isn't a competition, I just love to ski. I have no need to describe the joy and excitement skiing and what it involves gives me because I just can't put it into words. Thank you skiing.
 
you go and hit urbans because its so cold the hill wont run there lifts

yay calgary-28 not including wind and it was windy
 
When pee your pants just a little bit in when you think about stomping a new trick in front of topless girls while daydreaming in class.
 
when you work for skiing

when you do sport and is just for prepare to skiing

when they have rain you're sad

when all free time you got you spend it on newschooler
 
when your girl asks if your hanging out this weekend, and you tell her you're sorry but you are going skiing

when you constantly think of sick ass grabs

when you are going over every trick you did last time thinking of how to make it better, or what else you can do on that feature

when you find yourself constantly 270'ing onto curbs and shit

when you are driving around and spot a skiing feature everywhere you look

when you are actually skiing, and have a better time than sex

when you finally get to the mountain and all of your problems simply disappear (warren miller quote is so sick on this one)

when you find yourself analyzing every trick a pro does in a ski video, because you have watched is so many times that's all you can do

when you go onto a computer the first thing you go to is something skiing related

when you are always looking at ski gear, even though you won't buy it

when you look at said ski gear, and decide food is optional and drop the money to get it

when a song comes on you listen to skiing, and all you can think about is skiing

when getting face shots in pow pow is more important than giving face shots to girls

when you just don't give a fuck about anything but skiing

when you play a sport mainly to stay in shape for skiing

when you find yourself rambling on about skiing to non-skiers for what seems like forever, when they have no clue what you're talking about, but you don't care

when you sit in your room and just stare at your skis

when your most fond memories are of you dropping some huge cliff, hitting some big jump, or the epic powder you skied one day

in short, when skiing encompasses your life.
 
when you practice your grabs on your bed at home

when you are the only one that wears a saggy beanie, baggy clothes, and occasionally a bball jersey to school.

when you are the only one out of your friends who knows what steeze is

when you try to ride a longboard switch (one of my favorites)
 
when you cant focus in school casue you look out side its sunny and 25 and all you think about is how nice the snow would be no flat light and you would just rip.

when you drive by a rail and you think of what you could do on it or if its possible.

when everyone wants to go bowling but you ditch to go ski.

when schools waaaaaaaay to long and takes to much time away from skiing.

when you ski friday saturday sunday all day cause you missed so much time during the week.

WHEN YOU QUIT YOUR JOB FOR THE WINTER TO SKI!
 
when im sitting in math class drawing ski season 07/08 in bubble letters then drawing a guy doing some type of trick on about 1/4 of the pages in my graphing notebook

when people tell me i ski to much/ talk about it to much

day dreaming about it in class during the week thinking of how your gonna land the new trick

listening to your skiing playlist with your headphones throught your sleaves with the head phone on your hand and you laying your head on your ear

^maybe thats just me lol
 
when you quit winter sports because they take up to much time from skiing

when your grades drop about a whole grade casue you dont study or do homework because you dont have time for anything but ski
 
when you judge the amount of gas in your tank by how many times you can get to the mountain.

when you fall asleep in school and think your at the mountain

when you wont hang out with a guy because snow is just that much more sexy

when you cant wipe the grin from yoru face when your shredding powder and you cant hear anything except yourself and an occasional whoot of happiness

when people ask you what your hobbies are, and skiing is always the first out of your mouth.

when 270ing onto a curb just kinda happens without thinking about it

and when you realize the list could go on forever. i love skiing.

 
when u 450 out of the set of stairs into ur computer room every time u go down them, and then procced to go onto newschoolers.
 
when friday comes around and you fail every single test and skip the last two peroids of class to get out to the mountain early and shred all night and have the best night of your life.
 
when you get stoked and start thinking about next weekends skiing as soon as you are off of the hill sunday.
 
when u stand there waiting for the bus after skool

and ur spining like ur in the air off a jump and people look at u like ur a dumbass
 
haha, so do I.

I spend wayyy too much cash on equipment, though I really don't need it.

But it's allright to look fresh, right?
 
hahahaha, my mcl is fucked up and im learning backflips this week hmmm

when your pp account is more important than actual cash?
 
When I start to shake and get stupid excited about trying something or thinking about skiing,

When local friends call jumping on and off of curbs benches etc a "Scott"

When you find out that your not the only one who goes insane for a passion.

Damn I love skiing!
 
When you have a fractured foot and you have your local ski shop basically ruin your boot with a heat gun just so the boot won't touch the fractured part of your foot just to basically ride around and not realy hit anything.
 
when you pop off the landing off a jump, drag your hand and literally float down the landing into a hand drag 180.

You ski powder with you mouth open laughing, yet you almost die from suffocation of snow in your mouth.

you sleep with your skis (i do)

you get chills when you hear the sound of the chair going up the mtn. The waaa waaa waaa
