i think i agree with you... a first? but i also completely see what op was going for and you nailed it. skiing is just a hobby and evantually you just have to move on from skiing as much as you used to. as i say this, i am still young
Haha that's impressive. I guess I phrased that wrong, its more of a personal opinion. Yes it is possible, but I'd agree with OP in that there is more to life than the ski bum mentality.
