i used to go skiing cause i loved it.
in pursuit of go skiing everyday and throwing down sick shit that people would be stoked on, i lost that love. i learned to love making edits, "training for the olympics," and being real serious. i wanted to get paid and laid, have the good life ya know...? my dreams seemed to get further away with every attempt at catching a piece of the good life. eventually things would go downhill, in bad conditions... contracts were stripped away before i could even taste them, videos werent even produced, my style was jocked, and eventually stopped getting invited to the party.... slowly the love melted away like spring snow. with one last season i did some soul shredding, from park to pow, just really enjoyed some good skiing by myself.
now i havent skied all season. havent really had good conditions, or the financial freedom to chase the steep and deep. but really i just dont have any motivation left

I don’t know man, but you don’t sound like you maybe never truly loved skiing that much.

I’d try to look and question myself about what was the motivation of your action. Were you skiing because you enjoyed skiing or were you motivated by people recognition? Were you actually skiing, filming and training to get others stoked, or to get paid and laid? It’s just that there are many way to get recognition of others, to get paid and laid and they’re all results or rewards of things you do, but do you really want to spend a lot of your time doing something you maybe enjoy but don’t really like that much.

I’ve seen so many peoples have the type of speech you just had before and ending just like you did with excuses like bad condition or financial excuses. You’ll always find money for the things you truly love because they make you feel good and happy and you couldn’t live without it. For conditions it’s not hard, 20% of the days you’ll ski will be shit, 20% will be awesome and 60% are going to be average (numbers may change depending where you ski) and it’s super hard to know unless you go on the hill and check by yourself.

In the end, find what sports, activities, job and peoples to spend time with that makes you feel good and happy and you’ll never need any motivation speech. Best luck!
