Replying to Where would we be without skiing???

Not tryin to get all gay and sensitive on you guys but for real. Think about it. I couldn't imagine my life without skiing. I look at kids at schol, even some of my good friends, and listen to them say "there's nothing to do, ill probably go home and play call of duty" (no joke) and I'm just sitting there thinking WOW thank u god for putting such a great activity-sport-lifestyle in my life! There was a video on NS that said skiing is something that we can do to get away from the bull shit of everyday life.. That couldn't get any more true.. Just thought I'd share my input..what is you're view on skiing...
