Why do you ski?

[Atypical]

Sometimes it's nice to reflect on why we love this sport so much.

For me, I lose all sense of time. When I strap on a pair of skis, nothing else matters. From the watching the sunrise at the top of the mountain, to floating through the air or pow, it removes me from the bullshit of every day life.

 

[Milksteak]

Something to do.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

I snowboard.

 

[chardi]

skiing gets me past any issue or pain in my life and gives me indescribable joy when i have the opportunity to ski. and even if i am off the hill no matter what is going on in my life, as long as i know that i can still ski nothing else matters.

 

[Balto]

I suck at 90% of other sports

 

[stunt_ditch]

Because the cold air dries out my sores

 

[-ShredTheGnar-]

whats skiing?

 

[garrettwiz]

skiing what is?

 

[585.]

i heard skiing is gay...

 

[SKIU4EA]

i ski so i don't get depressed and kill myself

 

[amo2le86]

because its fun

 

[Pipe_Munky]

because spending every weekend in the winter doing nothing but watching TV and drinking whiskey leads to liver damage, blackout drunkeness and fighting

 

[k-fred]

because thats actually the most beautiful sport

 

[AJizzle]

Hey, don't bag on blackout drunkenness, it is severeley underrated

 

[_CC_]

because i grew up with it, i dont remember not skiing.

 

[A.Eberhard]

It's a feeling you can't explain it's just fun I guess?

 

[klayer_9]

cause I live in salt lake city, and if I didn't ski, I would go insane.

 

[ThaLetterM.]

what the fuck else would I do?

 

[BlackcountryBill]

'Cause it's an easy way to get clunge.

 

[COskier]

Duh, for the money.
I have too much, so skiing helps me do away with the extra.

 

[chicken]

I don't. I just talk about it on the internet.

 

[Abc567def]

hold on hold on hold on, so this isn't a car forum? FUCK

 

[rankstank]

obviously for the chicks

 

[Elmo.]

its fun. i love the winter. boarders r sorta kinda gay. its fun. i like the sense of community that it brings. theres risk involved. its fun

 

[lands11]

Exact some reason for me

 

[JahJahBinks]

I get a different feeling skiing rather than anything else. I love it.

 

[I.B]

Because if i masturbate to much my dad says i'll go blind.

 

[EmperorKuzco]

theres definitely a handful amount of boarders that are actually really chill but there is too much of those faggy high cascade kids

 

[OrangeName]

same as thread creator and because its fun and there is nothing else to do in winter really.. and because i suck at all other sports

 

[GayWolf420]

I suck at other sports. Plus its the only thing I am naturally good at. And for the poon.

 

[Willard]

pussy and skrilla

 

[BrightonFridays]

There was a thread like this a few weeks ago and I answered something along those lines ^^^^

To get pussy and paid

 

[j.saaaarela]

how else are you going to get any sense of fulfillment in the winter?

i totally identify with the removal from stressful life, and I have never considered doing any other sport with as much dedication and passion as skiing.
