You know your addicted to skiing when...

a couple years ago me and a few buddies got together and convinced the school to let us build a park in the school parking lot, wiht the help of a rad teacher....we had 3 boxes, 2 rails, and a mini table!
 
ice rink snow sessions

spends massive amount of time on newschoolers

willing to drive 4 hours each way for powder as a daytrip

checkin out urban features all over the place

thinking about skiing everyday, even during the summer

but i know tons of people who dont ski who do nothing but drink all weekend, not to undermine your addition though...
 
When you drive 4hours to your local mountian in summer to check out the new buildings and urbans to find good jibs for the winter.

When you get introduced as the skier.

When your room is filled with everything to do with skiing and you sleep with your skiis next to your bed so you have them close. You have a ski poster on your roof above your bed so that skiing is the first and last thing you see for your day.

You grades go down because you live skiing and think about it all the time.

When you're grounded and you're allowed out at night but not allowed ot ski and it hurts more even if it is the biggest party for the season.

You'll ski in anything rain, hail, snow, gale force winds shitty snow and slush just because its skiing,

You go out on the blizzard days when everything is on hold except the beginner runs and you and your friends make jumps in the fog outside ski patrol and they can't see them because of the fog. Claim.
 
when you blow of a date because you have to go skiing the next morning.

you have no money cause you blow it all on gear and lift tickets
 
When you've just spent the last hour walking around your house in your whole ski outfit including boots, helmet and goggles
 
when you build slopestyle courses on the beachwhen you try to explain to your friends w/out sucess how perfect the urban is or when you try a 5 of a 15 foot ledge and brake your foot because you were thinking it was a cliff
 
so true...

-when all the songs you listen too are from ski videos

-when while your taking a big test, you think about skiing because you were on ns the night before and didn't study

-when you are psyched to ski in New Jersey

 
when u give a speech on tanner hall for speech class and show the chad's gap vid. yea that shit was tight! my classmates were amazed!
 
even more so if you do it in summer months when its like 90 degrees out and your neighbors look at you like youre from another planet
 
when you break up with a hot chick cause she is taking time away from skiing

when you watch ski movies in class

when you jib everything in your path way walkin

when everythiing you talk about rellates to skiing

when all you listen to is your ski playlist

when you take your skis and jump on the tramp with them

when you put all your ski stuff on and just pretend your skiing

i can relate to everybodys post in this thread. i love skiing.
 
When you want to give it all up-The books, the job, the money, future prospects and oppotunities...Just to ski all winter.
 
when you finish your math test as fast as possible to draw a park on the back

when you change all of the problem solving questions in your math test to make it ski related
 
when you make a deal with your parents that for your birthday and christmas you dont want them to give you anything other than money so you can buy yourself skis.
 
im having my mom bring my skis down to my college next weekend just incase we get snow before thanksgiving. (i go to school in lower michigan)
 
Your GF is saying how much she misses you when you go on a ski trip, but you could careless because your skiing, and you never call.
 
...every inch of your room is covered with ski posters or pages from ski mags.

...your girlfriend yells at you for stopping your car or zoning out while shes talking to you because you saw a sick urban hit.

...you have dreams about skiing almost every night but are embarrassed to tell your friends because they already make fun of you for being obsessed.

...you scope out rails that are totally impossible to hit like ones in shopping malls or train stations.

... you will pay $45 for a lift ticket and drive 3 hours to ski in october on a 100 ft long patch ofmuddy snow because you really cant wait the extra month for real skiing.
 
when you are thinking about quiting a $65,000 a year job to move to the mountains to be a ski bum job.
 
when you lay down and to go to bed but then engage in a full length hardcore conversation with your self about the stuff your gonna do this season and all teh shit your gonna tear up and then you look at the clock and realize youve been talking to yourself about skiing for an hour and a half

when your laying on the couch doing imaginary iron crosses and other tricks
 
every fucking night. last night it was about how benchetler had a park edit in the hit list and wasn't really famous but then got more famous cause of IDEA and hunting yeti and how different the skiing is between the two and I talked to myself about coreUPT. and i've spent hours dreaming up all the different jumps i'm gonna build I know exactly which ones I'm going to do
 
when im hanging out with my good girl friends but ignore them to talk with the boys about skiing...

i wake up at 7ish to run to the bathroom... see that its snowing (at the beg. of oct) start yelling "what what!!" and my boyfriend wakes up and we both start doing a rock out, dance, jam, singing...
 
when you put socks on your shoes to session the handrails in your school........good times!

frontside 450 out..... CLAIM!
 
When you go to the beach and instead of swim or make sand castles you make sand chad gaps and barrel jibs out of cans....or if everything you try on the trampoline you think you could do easily on snow
 
....when you drop out of college after 4 years because you ski way too damn much and move away and start a new life in new mountains, and long ago it became clear that all you ever care to do is ski, ski, ski, and do whatever work neccessary to make that happen, every day, every winter, till i can't physically do it any more....
