Replying to Give up Basketball for skiing?

So freshman year is fast aproaching and that means that winter is not to far away, which means two things, basketball and skiing. This year im not really excited for basketball. Ive been playing since 4th grade and last year it was starting to lose its fun and get really boring. This year I can either suck it up and play or if I dont play, I will be able to get a job and go skiing ALOT more(I only got 5 days in last year). Im not sure what to do. Has anyone out there given up a sport for skiing and really regretted it afterwards? I know im the only one who can make this decision but I wanna hear some input.
