I ski because no matter what is going on in my life whether it be work commitments, life issues, girlfriend problems, schoolwork, whatever, I don't have to worry about it for at least a few hours. I can let everything go and just worry about catching the next chair. I dont care if I'm the best or if people are watching what I do, it's just a god damn good time.
Wow, lots of I's in there, very self centered activity.
