Not sure if this even has happened to you but this is my first year freeskiing and i feel in love with it the moment i clicked into my first twin tips this winter. Honestly im a complete weekend warrior and dont get to ski that often, so my season ended pretty early. Lately i have really felt that i am drifting away from skiing, for example in class all i could do is think about skiing it was an obsession, i still always dream about skiing everyday but i feel like its less and less everyday(this may be due to recent lady issues). So basically i feel like im drifting away more and more from skiing and the whole skiing life and community. Basically im asking you newschoolers ,who i know every one of you have felt the way i do about skiing and that pure love we all have for it, to help me out and all the others with this problem im facing by maybe sharing a story about skiing maybe and edit or a picture basically anything that reminds you of your love for skiing and gets you through these long summer and spring month

Also please dont interpret this as whinning and complaining i just want to stay commited to the sport and keep on loving it

That happens to me in the spring, then I get psyched for summer and forget about skiing, then in the fall it's all about skiing again

Get a hobby for summer and you'll forget about it, then in October when you start getting ski gear and ski stuff you'll get all pumped again. Or go to new Zealand or chile forthe summer, but thats unlikely most likely

It'll come back. I used to be obsessed with skiing, I went over 50 times last year (which is a lot for me with high school)and would spend everyday over the summer thinking about it and watching videos. This year the same thing that happened to you happened to me. I went skiing like 15 times this year and to be honest could care less. I just dont seem to worship skiing like I used to. I guess i realized there is more that just skiing. Maybe next year will be different but come summer, im throwing in the towel on NS and going to try and find some new hobbies.

I used to hate summer, but now I don't mind it b/c there is lots of fun stuff to do like longboarding, and chilling at the lake with friends. I think skiing would get kind of boring here in Ontario if we could do it all year. Just gets you all the more stoked to get back at it in November.
