Ski season over maybe forever.

So I'm an exchange student In the US and i was so lucky to get close to a ski spot in NY.
I was really happy about this, and I was a big ski fan back in my homecountry (denmark) but we don't have any skiing places there due to litteraly no hills. haha
I just realized that i probably wont be able to go back to my local ski hill here in NY due to the beginning of spring sport on the highschool and that I'm gone for the next two weekends. Because it will probably close soon , cause of no snow and small hill on east cost.
This just made me really sad (almost close to crying ha) because i will probably not get a full ski season ever in my life again.

Priorities. If you want it badly enough, you will do whatever it takes to ski.

ya man this guy has the right idea...you also dont need snow if you have the right materials and stuff,,, so if the weather isnt going your way you cant still be doing skiing even if its only rails and boxes...its still worth it

Dont worry about holding back the tears, I do it at the end of every season atleast a couple times.

I always have nightmares about this. I usually dream that my parents move to arizona or I hurt my back and can't ski or my eyes get gouged out and I go blind. Don't worry about it though you'll ski gain

do what i did. no hills in denmark? i rented those little digger things from home depot and just pilled dirt up and up and up and up. in the end i got a nice gradually sloping hill thats 16 vertical feet. its cold enough in denmark im assuming so visit this website to build your own snowguns. 

http://snowguns.com

also theres information on building your own ski lift there

Okay, thx for the responses guys!
And i just decided to spend my drivers license money to go to a ski camp this summer in france so i can get the ultimate ski experience for this year.
And i'll try and build some sort of rail setup or something, you basicly just need snow for take off and landing for that right ?
