Why do you ski?

I just started thinking about this tonite while I was watching a couple ski flicks. I see all these kids on here mainly talking about only ripping park, hating on racers and pretty much not wanting anything to do with anything outside of hitting jumps or rails. I know a lot of you were probably just born when the first terrain parks began to pop up all over the continent but you never started skiing to ski park. Please don't just say shit like "because it's my life" that really means nothing.

So I pose this question to you, Why do you ski?





Here's what I'm gonna say:

I ski because it's something that makes me block out all the shit I'm dealing with during the week with work, school, women, friends and family and just focus on what's in front of me.
I ski because there's something about catching that first lift up tearing up a fresh carpet of corduroy in -20degree weather.
I ski because being all by yourself in the trees in waist deep pow is a feeling you can't even get from drugs.

i ski because it is my therapy. it use to be a lot worse than it is now but i had a lot of family problems and it was the only thing that would clear my mind off of it. it makes me feel good about everything in life. also, me and my dad have never ever gotten along accept for one place. on the ski hill. there is no better feeling to me than riding groomers with my mom and dad switch, blowing by tourists like they are standing still. if you took away parks i would still be just as happy. :)
