What have you guys had to give up for skiing? I had to give up hockey. after 11+ years of playing (since I was 4 I think) I finally had to quit today. The second tryout is tonight, and I have decided not to go. THere are many factors. not having anytime if I play, needing to play indoor soccer for my club, and skiing (along with other factors).

see.. my parents are real keen on this education thing cause when I was in 5th grade and cared about school i was selected for this gifted student thing and I placed top 10% nationaly (that's the top 1% of all kida in the country in schools), so they really pressure me to do well. Also, I'm good enough at hockey that I had a shot at playing d-2 college, and even a possiblity at d-1. but oh well... as of 20 mins ago that coach is still trying to get me back. mabye if he tried money...

i had the same thing when i was younger, the atyp and stuff. I ended up hating it, taking regular classes and graduating with a good gpa. I go to a mid-size local college now. WMU, Western Michigan University.

for skiing, i gave up playing drums for a while, i play set and played with a grade 4 pipe band for a while, but quit.

i'm in the processes of sacrificing everything for skiing. I already save every penny i own so i can afford to ski, last x-mas i opted to take off and go skiing before everyone else was up to open presents, my grades are slipping (and will just get worse when i skip school to ski in the winter), i rarely hang out with my friends from school anymore because i'm always hanging out with ski friends and doing ski related shit, and i think the list goes on

Hell, I'm willing to give up work. I think work sucks. I had a full time job since I was 15. I also gave up hockey because I didn't have enough time or money to play. I want to start again though. I've also lost a few girlfriends because they just did not understand why I ski so much. Oh well.

Everything.

I have given up everything that used to be important to me, and built my life into nothing but skiing.

It's all I live for.

True man. I honestly could have been a Doctor, Architect, Chemist. I decided to shoot a bit lower and become a Ski Resort/School Manager. I need like a 55 average to get in to the course. It could be the best or worst decision of my life. But then Again I would have lived my life wondering what if? Which is probably worse than leading a decent life and skiing every day.

Yeah, living a life wher you can ski all the time is awesom. I'd much rather work a lwoer paying job and ski a lot then be rich and not skiing much.
