because my marks were low(ish) and apparently for some strange reason, school is more important than skiing

Not sure if troll. Thats is something every good parent is going to do. Get on ski club and your schools race team if they have one.
Two easy solutions:
1) Get better marks. This is not as hard as you might think... working at McDonalds is likely harder.
2) Use the Olympics. Tell your parents that you have dreams of being your country's representative in the games. That will at least give more weight to the skiing argument, and they should understand olympics and the gravity of it.

They no i'll never get to the olympics and i just can never focus in my classes because I always thinks about skiing
Draw shit in class, worked for me.
Why wouldn't you be able to go to the Olympics? Everyone needs a dream. I'm just giving you an option here for continuing with the skiing sans-homework.
Likely your best option is actually to just work like 10% harder in school, and then you can dream about skiing the rest of the time.

i fucking feel that since i went through a fuck load of training to be a lifeguard and make fucking good wages for a 16 year old, i feel like they should let do what i love everyonce in a while(everyweekend)
Yeah but the problem is the whole who is supporting you thing. If you're making good wages as a lifeguard, you've got your own apartment, you buy your own food, you buy your equipment, you buy your passes and pay for your car...
Then fuck yes do whatever the fuck you want. THen you're a man, and nobody tells a man what they can or can't do.
However, if you're still living at home and using your parents resources (which at 16 years old you damn well should be) they are within their rights to ask a few things of you.
Going skiing at 16 and failing out of school would suck. I'm not even lecturing you - I'm telling you it would actually be a crappy life and wouldn't be fun. It'd be sweet to ski for a while, but you'd have nothing waiting for you at the other side. You'd even have trouble affording to ski... and if you weren't trying to go anywhere in skiing (no sponsors, no filming, no contests) you're going to stop being able to actually ski.
You could argue that living in a van down by the river and ski bumming for your entire life could be fun... however I'd gander a guess that when you finally lost the ability to ski you'd just be a lonely old guy still living in a van.
Most parents just want some form of aspiration in their kids. Hell... I barely made it through highschool, and failed out of University to go and try to be a pro skier.
My parents were extremely unhappy, but supported me because I had a dream to be a pro. I wanted to make film segments and win the X-games. If I was capable of supporting myself, and I really had a dream - they were happy for me.
Of course, in the end it panned out great because I realized I sucked and got into the industry. Here I am today, and they couldn't be happier.
Life fucking sucks without direction. It isn't even fun... hell right after I failed out of University, I realized how hard it was (and how much it sucked) to work full time and try to meet girls. Life would have been way easier in school scraping by to get my diploma and riding education train.
TL;DR - Don't stop school because you're lazy. The real world - even skiing - is much harder to survive in than you think.

It's pretty fucking simple: try harder in school. I think that if you at least are able to show them that you're legitimately trying to get good grades, they'll be willing to let you go more.
I got a 3.7 in high school and went skiing both days damn near every weekend during the season all four years.

Wasn't to sure of what his reaction was going to be. You should expect though your parents withholding what ever they damn please until you turn 18.
Also don't go to community college, go to a actual college right away. Community college sucks and the teachers suck and the whole experience can go eat a bag of dicks. Nobody fucking socializes in community college and community college sucked so bad for me it ruined college for me. Dropped out after a half of a semester in but now I work at a ski resort and shit is dope. Can you say 100+ days of skiing?

Hey now, I go to two-year diploma school right now, and next year I can transfer right into third year of a couple of different university programs, and I will have a diploma already, and will have saved a ton of money. Community college can be a great place to start further education, or a great way to get into trades like welding or electrical. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean everyone else will.

Boom.
Dude, you can get all kinds of shitty cars for super cheap. I used to do this all the time. If you get a Toyota, Honda or subaru... and you don't give a flying fuck about rust, dents or looks... you can get a totally acceptable vehicle for cheap as fuck.
You'll have to do maintenance, but if you learn a few things you can do basic stuff yourself to save money. If you treat it nice, drive it slow, do your oil changes and be careful to get it checked out by a mechanic before you buy it - you can get a wonderful beater car to take you where you need to go.
Fuck, step up to $2k and you can be driving a sweet ride. Screw nice cars, unless you have fat cash you want to light on fire they're a waste of time. 200,000 km is just getting warmed up for one of those cars, hell I bought my subaru legacy at 175,000km and drove it to 380,000.
Look for ones with lots of cosmetic problems, but no serious mechanical. Dents, broken windows, broken side mirror, fucked up interior... hell rust holes in the side (as long as its not frame rust) are all super easy and cheap to repair if you use junkyard parts and don't give a flying fuck about looks.
Having a car is the ultimate freedom.

this is very true. I was an idiot when I was young and didnt bother getting a drivers licence for the longest time. Trying to hitch to the ski hill every day, relying on friends for rides to other hard to get to hills. Long distance travel to this competition or that was almost impossible...
Currently, I have a friend who is in his late 20s and wants to do nothing but tour and backcountry camping. Problem is, the guy doesnt drive, and downright refuses to do so, let alone actually buy a car. He is 100% dependant on his friends to get him to the trail head. He is always talking about the freedom of the backcountry, blah blah blah, but he doesnt even have the personal freedom to get out of town on his own.

Im getting my liscence right away and might buy my dads 2002 camry for a couple grand
Duuuuuuude. YES - car is ultimate freedom. Remember the van? I think I even gave you shit for not being able to drive or something like that.
Holy like 5,000 years ago eh?
Driving - though environmentally unfriendly - is the key. Its humanity's method of transport, and when you can get yourself somewhere you can do anything.
