Give up all of your skiing talent?

So, hypothetically, if you were to give up all of the talent/skill you have at skiing, and be just as good at that thing as you are at skiing, what would it be? Would you make that trade?

(If you think you're bad at skiing, or you don't have enough talent to really be that amazing at something else, just imagine that you can be really good at something other than skiing, but you can never ski again.)

Probably the ability to play the stock market really well and then i would be really fucking rich and then I'd buy vail resorts and get private ski lessons from Steve steep.

seeing as im an average park skier at best, i'd just keep my talents because the fun to talent ratio in skiing is totally worth it. and im better at the things i care about more than skiing, which is basically just music.

I'm better at biking than skiing already, but if it were an option I would just wire all the skill from my skiing, into my biking so I could actually make it somewhere.

Snowboarding. I'd make that trade in a second, if I had to give up my school ability that is. Snowboarding is cool as shit though.

Im already way better at disc golf then skiing, so I'd just transfer my little skiing skill to DG and then I would be a pro.

College. If that makes any since. Being able to balance academics and a social life extremely well. If i can say that then playing the guitar. Or skating. But Id rather be an amazing college student then those other two.
