My buddies are pussies... so I'm going to University to find some non-pussy friends, and then out there. Maybe.

Who cares what your parents say. If you want to be a ski bum that's up to you.

I've been in school for 3 years now and I'm incredibly tired of it. I want to move up to whistler next winter but have yet to figure out how to afford it.

find 6 of your closest friends, get some shitty jobs, sleep on the floor, and ski every day.

Oh, and they are digging out the night superpipe as we speak (in ground), so blackcomb will be a full night operation too (in case you had to work all day).

Sounds like a good plan, except my closest friends are lame and they aren't retarded for skiing the way I am, those bastards

wow thats dope, i was at whistler biking yesterday and i was wondering what they were building over there, night skiing is the one thing whistler lacked unless you can somehow count the magic chair (shudder). but anyways back to this post once you take a year off you wont want to go back to school, its a problem im facing im forcing myself to go because i know if i don't i will never go

Man you are all making me wish I took a year off. Oh well, I can always do it after I graduate from college. Besides college has its perks. Class all week, Mammoth weekends in ski/snowboard team house. More parties than I can go to. Life is good.
