Why are you so addicted to skiing?

Attempting a new trick on a rail or jump, the feeling when you land something new is amazing, exactly why we come back for more and more.
 
This and it just always helps me get my mind off things I get into my own little world when I ski and nothing else really matters
 
The motto I live by: "If it's not fun, why do it?" With that in mind, of all the things I have discovered and experienced in my life, skiing takes the number one spot for fun.
 
the feeling I get from skiing...

the moment you take off on that 60 foot kicker and just do a nice little shifty because you feel so in control.
 
The feeling you get when accomplishing something that your scared to do but you know can be done. Also when your with your friends skiing, it's like the greatest thing in the world. This is why I'm addicted.

 
The atmosphere more then anything really. It doesn't matter if you're ugly, stupid, young, old, unpopular, anything really, everyone's there for the same thing, and most of the time all the hostility is gone. And most of the time, you get to meet really friendly people at the hill which is pretty sick too.
 
Hahaha classic.

Just the freedom of expression, everything I've liked as a child put into one kind of, and the peacefulness and feeling of ease.
 
I don't know how many runners we have on here, but skiing gives me a different kind of runners high after hiking a feature or doing a big line (no pun intended) for an extended period.
 
feeling of accomplishing something. landing a new trick is always awesome.

and for me its a stress relief where i can surround myself with friends and hang out with my dad. pure fun
 
Dem pow pillows, faceshots, the feeling of being in the air, the feeling of going fast, being scared, appreciation for all seasons, and ski bitties
 
For me, Skiing is the purest experience of living in focus. All other time is spent passing by, and I am waiting for skiing to happen again. be it the next day or months from now. Life/time not skiing occurs and passes, and I am in it, but I feel like I am not truly living it. Where-as the moments spent Skiing I know that I am living and I am getting that pure experience. 9 days boys. Only nine more days to go and I get to have this back!
 
because im hood as fuck and like to do crazy ass westcoastgangster shit with my friends
 
Because it's the only sport I do for me. Not for my coaches, not for my team, not for my partents, I do it for myself. If i want to progress, only I can push myself, If i mess up I don't feel like i let a bunch of people down, and it just gives me a thrill to be flying through the air or racing down the hill. And i love the feeling of constantly progressing. Also i think a part of it is that I really only get to ski weekends, for less than half of a year, so I'm always wanting more
 
Its the feeling of being free and self-accomplishment. Added with adrenaline its the perfect rush. Plus its fucking rad.
 
its sad that that quote isn't first associated with CR's quote in my sig

"the feeling i get from skiing, that's worth dying for..."
 
Its honestly the jumps that get to me. the feeling of doing something off a huge step up just leaves you smiling when you land. Dopamine prahhhhbly
 
standing at the top of something ive never hit before is the biggest rush for me. not knowing if ill stomp it is scary. then you get to the bottom and you turn around, look up, see your tracks, and say "fuck yeah i just ripped the shit out of that!"
