When about half your dreams during the winter are about skiing.
When you have serious conversations about jibbing statues with your friends.
When all you want to see is a couple flakes.
When you're legitimately excited to see a mild frost.
When you can remember where you were and what the date was when you first saw snow last year.
When you can't do anything on your computer but go on NS because you HAVE to think about skiing.
When you spend all class imagining a pow run on your new boards.
When it's october and you NEED to go down to the hockey rink to get some snow and jib.
When you watch Realtime 5 or 6 times a week.
When you longboard for hours at a time just carving because the feeling is somewhat similar to carving on skis.
When all you want to do is wake up at 6:00 in the morning and roll out of your warm bed, drive and hour, put on all your ski shit, and go outside into the 10 degree weather.
