Skiing alone...

What are your thoughts on it.  I have never had to do this but this winter i have the opportunity to ski 22 days straight during break.  I dont have any friends available to come along cuz they all have work or plans or other bull to do so im probably gonna go by myself.  I figured it might suck cuz you have nobody to share your excitement with when u get super stoked about something.

skiing alone is super relaxing especially if youre stressed or things just arent going well. but skiing with friends is way more fun. park skiing alone isnt very much fun..

I like it alot. I stomp more tricks and for some reason push myself harder.

If ur really exicted about going skiing that day, i suggest going with someone. If you wanna just do what you strictly want or just wanna relax, go alone.

Skiing with friends is obviously always going to be a better time but if im the hill with music playing doing some hot laps I cant complain. I enjoy it almost just as much.

It's dope if youre a solo kind of person + music and ganja all day, no waiting for anyone or wondering what run is next, just good flow all day cause you get to do what you want and that's shredding everything at your own pace and own style

Every February vacation I would go off on my own, skiing alone is something everyone should experience.

I SKI ALONE ALL THE TIME. HALF OF MY SKI/SNOWBOARDER FRIENDS ARE LAZY AS FUCK. "NAH MAN I CANT SKI TONIGHT, I HAVE BADMINTON TILL 330 THEN ILL BE TIRED!"

BUT ITS CHILL, GIVES YOU TIME TO THINK, PROGRESS, AND STUFF. I KNOW A LOT OF LIFTIES AND OTHER INSTRUCTORS WHERE I SKI THOUGH SO I STILL TALK TO PEOPLE WHEN IM SKIING ALONE.

as dangerous as it is i enjoy ripping tree laps by myself, bumpin some chill tunes and just crusin, being alone with my thoughts on the lift and not having to wait for anybody, but park by myself kinda sucks, i just feel like a loser

I love skiing groomers alone just listening to some music and thinking while your ski down a mellow cruiser, its really relaxing to me. For any powder, sidecountry etc I always ski with at least one more person mostly for safety reasons. I'm not that great at skiing park so I almost always ski with friends when I get a chance because it deffinitly helps me get better.

I'm a bit scared to ski alone , I recently knock myself out on a over rotated 5 and started to seize , didn't wake up till I was in the ambulance. If I were alone in the trees or something it could have been bad, ( I had a helmet on)
