basically, title says it all. what was the first second that you thought by yourself "hey man, youre kinda good/good enough to call yourself a real skier"?

for me it was 2/3 years ago when i first landed a 5. a 5 always had been this trick for me, idk, just the first of the "serious" freeski tricks.

and two days ago, i rode out a cork 7 cleanly (in the words of 2009: i afterbanged the shit out of it), which again gave me a feeling of just having entered another exclusive club...

this year i started getting compliments off the lift and from other  people about how much style i was throwing down with, i thought they were all just gapers till i walked in the lodge and this one guy whove ive really looked up to told me that my last run through the jump line had been "the steeziest mutherfuckin thing" hes ever seen, i not only felt like the king shit, but i realized that was offically a skiier now

for me it wasnt a trick. it was when i left my family, girlfriend, and everything i knew 1500 miles away so i could go to school near mountains. at that point i was like "its taken over my life"

hiking into the woods today on the east coast to ski the last small patch of snow around before it rains. The funny looks I got walking through campus with all my ski gear attached to a pack in 60 degree weather.

i knew i was a skier when i realized it was my only motivation to do well in anything i had to, just so i could go skiing right after, or it might have been when i realized skiing beats girls anyday LOL
