What's the most important/biggest thing you've skipped to go skiing? More importantly, was it worth it? For me, answer is always yes.

There was a foot of snow, they groomed everything except for the landings of the jumps. Basically like hitting a back country jump without the work, I hucked my meat pretty hard.

I had cheated on girlfriend of 1.5 years. I was at her house when she found out. She freaked out so I avoided the argument and fled 4 hours to Vermont for a few days.

"How could you do this to me?" - her
"Lol fuck this i'm going skiing" - me

You cheated on your girlfriend for a year and a half. That says something about your personality.

This year I'll be skipping a few track practices to go skiing. I also skipped my sister's scholarship dinner, but I didn't HAVE to go to that.

Once I skipped school for a powder day at Alta. I went with one friend and It seemed life we were the only ones on the mountain. There was at least 2' of new and It was amazing. I missed 2 test and almost ended up failing a class... Worth it

I skipped my senior year of high school to ski more. I dropped out after my junior year, got my GED, and applied to college where I could stack my schedule and ski 5 days a week.
