I dunno, I've just always skied. My dad doesnt really ski that much. and my mom doesnt ski. Just skiing in the main part of our towns culture, so it's weird when someone doesn't ski.

haha yeah my parents have both been skiing since they could walk. They tried to go pro in their mid 20s, then gave up and were ski bums for a decade. Then they both joined the PSIA Demo Team. So skiing is kinda part of my family's history.

why don't you play hide and go fuck yourself, honestly do you care if more new people come on NS? personally i think it's annoying when there's a new thread on here about something that's already been discussed 800 times
