Yes.
I miss being completely in awe of the sport, when seeing another pair of twins on the hill was a highlight of the day. When seeing a skier in the snowboard park doing anything was just unbelievable. When the Nintendo park at whis was still the Nintendo 64 park and reminded me of Legend of Zelda, Super smash bros, Yoshi's story, etc.
I miss when I was mesmerized by any new ski movie and ski magazine, and didn't know anything about what the tricks were called, just that they looked cool. When seeing people land backwards seemed almost retarded, yet mind-blowingly awesome.
