When i was little around 7 or 8 I would rather hang out with my friend than go ski. My parents would drag me up to the mountain all the time. I really appreciate them making me go because i beciae addicted at age 11. i cant even imagine life without skiing now.

There were definitely times when I was like 10-13 when I didn't want to get up early and go skiing. That feeling always disappeared as soon as I was on the snow though.

When I was 3 or 4 I hated skiing. I used to say "I hate my skis" whenever I fell. Now I love it. Things change.

haha word. when i was like 5-6 just learning i would fall and pick up my skis and throw them and say i hated them and stuff. then i quit turning for an entire 20 days when i was 6, didn't think i needed it. had a gnarly crash to face burn and decided my skis were broken and i hated skiing.

but i never hated it enough to quit, plus my cousin did it so if i wanted to be cool like him i had to ski.

i learned how to ski when i was 13, on a winter break. after the break, my dad asked me if i wanted to go again, and i said yea, but i really didnt want to. I went that day, and it's safe to say that that was one of the most influential decisions of my life.

not to mention I have my dad saying "Hey I was thinking maybe we would go skiing this weekend?" on tape. Awsome

I grew up watching old warren miller movies when I was 4 and taking out the skis when there was frost on the ground. I have been addicted my whole life.

I hated race training for a while, then I'd race and it was fun again, then we'd ditch and go build a kicker, and then I finally quit racing and skiing was fun again. Now I get back into races for the hell of it and it's all fun to me...I just hate doing moguls and that's it. My knees will die on my by the time I'm 25

its ok, i had it coming. it seemed necessary, cause thats how passionate i am about skiing. ive been in and out of almost every sport because either my brother was better than me and my coaches wouldnt let me put him in his place, or my coaches thought i was too physical. the only exception being footbal, but i destroyed my shoulders and ankles playing, so that ended.

if you ever hated skiing your not a true skier. and are  just one of the many jumping on the bandwagon...

heres to the og mogul days.. rippin on skinny skis, pre moesley it was all about JLB, Edgar, Seugei Shapretsov, Jesper Ronnebeck, Janne Lahtelah, Seth, KEnt and Mckonkey, Andrew ShepardDean cummings and Jason more and the rest of the k2 facorty team...


Rippin through the terrain park and getitng chased by snowboarders and hitting them pith a pole or 2,...
skiing was better then.. more about fun...  less about throwin up gang signs and wearing Tall t's that are quad x l when your 5foot nothing.. and wearing rags in BARS....(homos)

Degenaerates and skiings last stand, then onto still to this days most progessive ski flick royalty..

Days of clothing companies like sms,BFA, Moxie, Fate and og rip curl shit..

Skiing and surfing are the original Action sports... and skiing was always the coolest sport in the world.. just casue people wore fleuro dont mean shit... 

Cork 3's in 93 anyone?? KEnt kreitler... 95 TOm costa (carve true cork 3's)

78 John Eves fakie flare (while being chased in the james bond movie her majisteys secret service)

Frank Bare 84.. tripple twisting quad backflip of a BC booter... 

Skiing has always with surfing been the crazyest , coolest sport out...if you thought it wasnt kool at any point... you just wernt in the KNOW...

hehe.  Degenerates was one of my favorite movies.  It's pretty much what got me officially stoked on skiing.  It was so new and so awesome in those days.  That might have been 7th grade for me possibly?  And I still wear a Fate jacket that I got like 10 years ago now.  Still have a Fate bumpersticker that I never took off too.  Does Fate still make clothing?

when i was 3 i was terribly afraid of the t-bar, i freaked out.

i grew up on labrador where you get a fair amount of powder do i hated trying to navigate through snow as deep as i was tall.

once i grew a little i started loving it.

Haha you are so far off on that statement.

I went skiing when I was like 5 with my family and had a decent time.  then i didn't do anything on the snow until I was like 12-13 when some of my friends started snowboarding.  i joined in with them because who doesn't know this, snowboarding is eXtreme!!1!!!!!111!1!one!!1!1!.  but then once high school rolled around my sister had joined the ski team and i followed in her footsteps.  I hated skiing at first but just did it as a way to get out at the hill on weeknights and stuff.  but throughout that first year skiing grew onto me and i enjoyed hitting jumps on my skis rather than my board.  At that point i decided i didn't want to snowboard anymore.  I also didn't know that you could hit rails on skis or anything about newschool skiing when i decided to start skiing.

So with your comment you are saying im not a "true skier" because i didn't fall in love with it on day #1.  You're wrong.  I hardly jumped on the "bandwagon".

I have never disliked skiing at all and I started off with cross-country skiing cause its all my parents have ever done.  I remember me and my bro convinced my mom to take us downhill and I think we have only been on 1 cross country trip since.

The only time I ever hated skiing was when my dad first took me up the hill to teach me
there was this small slope at cypress just before the lifts, perfect for a beginner, and he taught me there
But obviously, no lift though, and I was wining and bitching about having to hike this tiny ass hill to slide down it, and do it all over again.

After that though, anything was a go, black diamonds, hiking a little to powder stashes, I'd do anything

then I had to quit skiing when hockey got a little competitive and the schedule was ridic
But since I quit league hockey for skiing, skiing's all I do now and I think I'm putting on weight just sitting here waiting for snow...
