Replying to Is Skiing Popular?

In my school (highschool) we have a fair amount of skiers, but its not popular at all. There are kids thats are real well known that ski and kids that are unknown that ski, but it really doesn't matter on the mountain, cause its all about if you can throw down or shred pow or have a good time with friends. Some times before the weekend when i go up to my condo at the mountain i think about all the shit im missing out on regarding to hanging out with my friends and shit because im skiing. Its impossible for me to have a relationship with a girl during winter and some times i feel like i'd rather have a social life on weekends. But as soon as I get to the mountain i forget that shit and its definately worth it. Any ones school like this?
