self explanatory title..

you know you love skiing when, you make perfect tables out of your ice cream or mash potatoes

fail a class cuz you daydream too much and cant really focus on anything other than skiing.

when you ski more days during the winter than you acctually go to school

you pray for rain in town because you know up there it will be snow!

ill post more as i come up with them .. but im sure im not the only one with these kinds of stories :P
 
you get brutally called out by your teacher when you don't know the answer because you were drawing a sequence of tanner breaking his ankles over chad's gap during class
you try to filp/spin off of everything
you draw function graphs as bc booters
you can't stop buying ski stuff even though you have a - symbol and lots of red zeroes in your bank account
you idolize scott vail
 
when you go to hastings see they have session 1242, for 50 cents! buy it, and watch it 5 times in 2 days.
 
when its ealry november and you hear the weather man complain because the temperture will be droping under 0 and you get all excited
 
I wrote this to try to describe why I'm addicted. I think it is pretty good attempt.

Covers

Who am I

or anyone

To hide the pain of the world

beneath snow?

To see everything through rose-colored goggles?

To be joyous and happy, satisfied and content

While so many others will never

touch the snow, or know

What it feels like to be free

I think we wait for winter

because we see the bare earth covered

I think the reason I can’t sit still

is that no one is meant to deal

with reality without escape

Just as the boulder field becomes a pillow line

And verdure forest floor becomes a white carpet

To be happy, we must pad our reality

Make jagged edges smooth

Be able to float while dragged down

We cannot see the world forever as bare

Like seasons, each view deserves it’s due

But to live to see it bare again

Snow must cover it anew

 
this is so true i do this stuff with out even thinking espacially making jumps with mashed potatoes and using a spoon as the skier
 
You move 2000 miles away from your family, friends, and everything you've ever known to a school that you've not even seen before because it has good skiing.

You have two jobs, both in the ski industry.

You take the winter semester off to work/ski.

 
when you are doing mute 3's off sidewalk ledges

when you spin every oppurtunity you get

and when you went on ns so much it got boring cause you had done or seen everthything on the site.
 
when your friends and people that barely know you say you like skiing too much, or you ski too much, or that's all you talk about
 
when your parents ground you from skiing instead of electronics or hanging out with your friends
 
every single essay or creative writing piece this year in Language Arts (English) has been about skiing. I wrote an ode and it was so sick, as well as many others.
 
when one of your friends say "lets do something else other than go up the mountain today" and you reply with "wait..... there's stuff to do other than going up the mountain in the winter?"
 
You go outside put on your skis and butter or tip stand on them, or spin.

even more so if you do that in your snow pants and stuff
 
when you get all geared up (helmet, boots, poles and all) and sit in your room thinking about skiing or going on ns until it gets too hot to do it anymore. then you switch to basketball shorts and do butters around our room.
 
thats happen me. the teacher was like come in tomorrow and will talk about it. I went skiing, got a zero, it was worth 10% of my grade.
 
haha i do the exact same thingi'll also slide my fingers down handrails doing switchups when i'm walking with people and they just stare at me
 
yessand imagining hitting every handrail despite it often being in the metro or something rediculousthe getting all geared up thing too...wearing your goggles all over the house
 
when your friends make fun of you because you are spinning all the time

or

when you have a dream about fresh powder and you wake up and you whacked off all over your bed
 
When every day you tell your friend you found this sick new video and when they ask you what its about you say "skiing"

haha and i do 270's onto everything hahaha

get a big bulletin board hang it in your room and just tack up tons of pics from mags
 
When even in the middle of the summer heat rather than ice cream and belly flops your thinking of cork 9's and rodeos.
 
i love this thread :)

40 degrees is "warm".

60 degrees is "disgustingly hot".

Carrying a 40-lbs boot bag AND your skis is nothing.

Pain is a second-nature feeling.

The first snow of the year gets your adrenaline pumping even before you hit the slopes.

The insides of your jacket pockets are molded with food you stashed to eat on the chairlifts, so you wouldn't have to stop for lunch.

The only new movies you've seen are all ski movies.
 
buying another sick hoodie even though you have 5 more in your closet...

throw your jacket on and plug in your ipod and put it on your ski playlist to remember your last line...

take an armada (no pun intended) of trucks across town to get snow from the ice rink and session your backyard all day.

spend a large portion of class time either on NS, playin jibberish, or drawing ski secuences...
