Most of us share a similar love for skiing. Lately i have found i love skiing more than anything, nothing makes me quite as happy. Some of you may say i need to get some friends, but when i say skiing i mean all of skiing. The people i meet from skiing, skiing with friends, shredding park, powder, groomers, eating lunch in the lodge and even car rides to and from the mountain.
Ive been doing some thinking about my future lately and dread the ideas of years without skiing. I can safely say that if i didn't have skiing i would have no clue what i would be like. All of my friends and much of my mindset are derived from different aspects of skiing.
I still value the importance of education and plan on attending a university for 4 or more years depending if i get a grad degree. Of course that college will be picked partially based on geographic location (thinking Uni of BC vancouver, UW, U boulder) (oh and im a junior right now with a solid gpa, 3.75)
My question is how can i manage to get a job somewhere, for example TNF, where skiing coincides with work? My dream would be to the head of such a company eventually. I want my life to be completely immersed in skiing. What kind of degree or path should i take that could possibly land me a job in such a position?
Hopefully this thread doesn't come off with some sort of connotation that i want to run skiing or something like that. I really just want to know how to ski for the rest of my life, not just being a weekend warrior, or to be involved in skiing for the rest of my life without bumming.
All responses will be read, and karma will be sprinkled to those who know what they're talking about and who dont speak out their ass.
Also props to people who i feel are currently living the dream. On3p guys, causwell/surface/joystick guys, eric pollard among others.
Thanks!
