So this year i dropped over 1,000$ not including ski tickets and plane ticket out west and 4 days of 50$ lift tickets, so maybey around 2,000$ total this year. Skiing rules my life, i also lost my girlfriend due to skiing (oh well wasn't working out) but i would rather ski honestly, its not likes we can ski all year.
What have other NS sacrificed for skiing??

I moved countries for skiing, it changed my life in such a positive way. I still get so super stoked every day. In the meantime I took a lot of trips overseas, New Zealand, Argentina, Colorado, Utah........ a lot of expenses but fuck, thats what work is for.

I wouldn't say that skiing rules my life. It's more like a catalyst, that makes it easier to make choices that influence my life tremendously. Even without skiing I always wanted to live in foreign countries and travel different places meeting new people. For most people that's such a big step. Skiing makes that so easy.

Same, I was hooking up with a girl and she wanted to start a real relationship but I declined due to it being winter. I've put over 10,000 miles on my car this winter alone to go ski, driven 10 hours to ski pow for 8 hours, spent tons of money, taken 5 sick days from work, lost contact with lots of my friends for the past 3 months (the ones that don't ski/board) and basically live out of my car on the weekends. And I don't regret it a single bit.

Dude, I'm not good at anything else. All I do is ski, year round. The only people who think I do something with my life ski or board and see me at the mountain.

same here man , its pretty good. Most people I talk to that arent skiers or boarders all seemed bored shitless of winter, I dont want it to end. Skiing is the best cure for winter blues, not one skier complains in winter, 75% of the rest of the population does . It gives you something to do and keep you active. I daydream about it in class. And generally girls like skiers which is a plus .

Grades for sure. Money bigtime. Haha I needed new skis around New Years so I didn't pay rent and bought skis. My landlord is an old-time skiier though so he was pretty chill about it!

Yeah snowboarding rules my life.  I haven't done anything with people from my school since winter started.  The people at school don't understand skiing and snowboarding like I do (except for some fags).  Pretty much all of my friends are my snowboarding friends because they are actually chill and understand my obsession of snow.

HOLY SHIT, thats alot, why wouldnt you just buy a season pass to a certain mtn, it sounds like you are buying a lift ticket and lunch each day. Youu gotta get that shit straight, bring bag lunch saves you 10-20 a day. But yeah skiing is a bitch, i want to find somewhere to live when im done with school where i can windsurf all summer, and ski freshies all winter, and still make enough dough to support that kinda of lifestyle. Either way i love my life and wouldnt change it for anything....besides living out west, which i will be in a couple of months

my grades and schoolwork suffer. i do well in the fall semester, but come the spring/winter semester i do not get anything done.  i dont want school to end, when it is over i fear that i am going to feel like i did not learn anything and that i am complely deviod of any employable skills.  but oh well, i can look foward to 2nd shift security and skiing in the morn
