I ski alone almost all the time, I rather have someone with me, but then I'm playing tour guide at the mountain and it's no fun, it's just hard to make it past a full day. Music is a big key. Plus the lifts can make or break your day, I love going up with some cool other solo people, but when your riding up with annoying group it sucks.
 I ski, yeah, with nobody else.
 Yeah, you know when I ski alone, I prefer to be by myself.
