I was a hockey player for 9 years. It used to be my favorite thing to do, I loved it and it was all I thought about. I started skiing 5 years ago. I started out just recreational skiing, and I really liked it, so I kept going and each year a skied a little more than the previous year. Last year I really became addicted to skiing. Whenever I had hockey I just wanted to be skiing. It got to the point where I was skipping hockey sometimes to ski, even though my coach got mad at me. This year I didn't register for hockey. I just want to ski as much as possible. Now I'm focusing on skiing all the time.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Yeah, man. At first it was hard to face it that I wouldn't be playing hockey anymore. But when I'm skiing I just forget everything and know I made the right choice

yeah i quit my basketball team junior year of high school.  i was already on varsity and my senior year, our team was #4 in the nation and won the DC city title.  dont regret it at all.  possibly best decision of my life.

im also about to have to cut down on my blunt smoking because i need to buy individual tickets every day i ski over christmas break when im home, and i have very little cash right now. im gonna try not to buy any nugs for like the next 2 weeks or something

girls, hanging out at the mall, parties, an overall social life. i used to be pretty popular, then freestyle skiing came along and that kinda left. i dont really have that many regrets though, id much rather ski rails by myself than roll with the same crew at the same mall every weekend.

I actually didn't have to quit anything really, just had to compromise, normally I like to take my classes in the morning so I can have the rest of the day to myself, but next semester I'm gonna have class every day monday-thursday from 3-9, so I can ski each morning, and I will probably use weekends to do homework and the other stuff I like, because when you ski each weekday, it makes waiting in lines on weekends even worse.
