Skiing and Your life

I'm just wondering if anyone feels the same way:

Everyday, I walk through my highschool, purposely shunning myself from the kids I used to hang out/party with, because all I can think about is skiing. When they want to drink, etc. I find myself skiing, or if there is no snow, watching ski videos or just chilling at my local mountain or with friends that I ski with. My normal, junior high/elementary school cliche of friends no longer associate with me. Now, I find myself only associating with the little crew I ski with. I dont know, skiing has affected my life so much, and I pity those who have nothing like this in their life. Sure, it may have made me a bit antisocial, but it's for the better. I'm not the typical narrow-minded highschool asshole anymore. Anyone else feel like this?
 
like none of my friends ski and the ones that do think park is gay and skiing glades is the coolest thing since sliced bread... and one skiblades lol but i still hang out with the same kids
 
I've gotten to the point where the ladies understand now. In the summer we always hang out on the weekends and such, then November rolls around and I can't keep a girlfriend, cause she wants to be with me, or some bullshit like that. And I'm like, too bad, I got to ski (maybe a bit nicer tho)

Then in may, I stash the skis again, and get my social life back.

But I just met a girl who skis, so we'll see whats up
 
It's different for me. The kids I grew up with, for the most part, ski. I've definitly made closer friends with the kids I ski with all the time, but I'm still friends with most of the others. However, I definitly have other friends I've made from skiing that aren't kids I grew up with.

and to whoever said skiing was the meaning of life....I don't disagree.
 
i think almost all fo my friends ski or snowboard.

i used to hang out with soccer and bball/hunting kids back in the day, when i entered middle school i transitioned to a whole new group of friends. i kinda got squished out of the old group and went into a new one. but im friends with a wider variety ppl now which im happy about.
 
yeah that how i was, but then all my frinds started quiting to pary instead it sucked. but im always at the hill with my buds or solo, but i need a new crew.
 
ive have the same feeling for skiing as alot of you do... I cant wait to get to the mountain, i constantly think about what tricks i want to do and shit like that... But i dont distance myself away from people. People make me happy and skiing makes me happy... so i like both but skiing is amazing. sooo go skiing
 
The friends you have in HS will last until the summer after graduation, maybe a little longer if you're lucky. The friends you make skiing will last a lifetime.
 
hmm i only ever ride with my snowboarder friends from school, so yeah we hang out a lot, but i found a skier buddy so im gonna ski with him this year hopefully... and my other crew of course
 
skiing is deffinately my life, it started to snow today and all i could think about were rails. Unfortunately all my good ski friends come from a variety of schools and the kids at my school who do go to the mountain arent that serious about skiing and just like to mess around on the green trails or they are snowboarders.. the one person who influenced me the most graduated last year :(
 
It's amazingly true. You don't realize it at all until you're halfway through a semester at a new college. Even when it's community college and you still live at home.
 
even when I am with this girl I like alot all I do is talk about skiing, everything some how comes back to skiing and how I want to do it or how it is better than sex or anything. She calls me obsessed I tell her its more of a love.
 
well ... that's not really true if you've made good friends. i graduated 2 years ago and i am still tight with my high school friends, or at least the ones i want to stay tight wiht.

but it is true about skiing friends. i met one of my closest friends when i was 2, at my ski club, and we have remained firends for all these years, even though we really only see each other in the winter.
 
rails arent skiing guys, if you prefer rails then please dont say "skiing is my life". How about, rollerblading is my life instead.
 
"I'm not the typical narrow-minded highschool asshole anymore." Sorry to point this out but if you are skiing or doing something ski related all of the time and don't even have time once in a while to spend outside of classes with a couple of the people you see every day, then you are more narrow minded than most. but it's cool because skiing is awesome and if that's what you're mind is focused on then you will certainly enjoy every minute of it. rock on dude.
