Replying to Could you last without skiing?

The question came to me earlier when i realized it had been about a year since i skied. Last year i injured myself near the start of my season so i was out for awhile, then by the time i was ready to go again, soccer started for me, and i was forced to chose. And seeing to it as soccer holds much more potential for me, i picked that over skiing. (please don't call me a noob or gaper, when the opportunity comes up to get some of college paid for by playing soccer, i knew better than to turn it down. and i do love soccer) So it's kind of depressing realizing how long its been since i do love skiing, but somehow life goes on.

So, do you think you could last without skiing, or even just not skiing as much as you do? Or if you really want to elaborate, how would your life be different without it? Mine's different in that most of the time i would have been skiing, i'm now working my ass off in soccer.
