Will powder rekindle my love of skiing?

Seriously considering heading out west to ski some powder, thinking its my only chance of loving skiing again. Is powder as good as i think it is? Also how hard is it to adapt to being a shithead parkrat?

Fly to Jackson Hole WYO and blow your own mind. I was waist deep in powder last week there and its completely unbeatable.

don't stress yourself over falling out of love with skiing man, these things work in waves, at least for me. im sure something will turn you on again, a dope edit, a new trick you see, a sick song that hypes you up...
as with all sports, my skiing benefits greatly from a mental and physical break from it sometimes. and you wont gain anything from trying to force yourself back into the zone
but yes, powder will get you rock hard

Nope powder is the worst part of skiing. Don't come to the west, they never groom. I hate it. I miss the east coast hard pack

You're going to fall a lot and will be really cold. 3/10 would not recommend

Good luck finding it within an affordable price range this season. It’s not that hard to adapt, but if you’ve only ever skied park all your life you might not appreciate it all that much.

Being a little melodramatic about this shit with two threads now..
It’s a bummer forshure but searching for answers & opinions from others won’t rekindle it within yourself.
You’re likely putting too much pressure on yourself in your skiing - it should be natural & a very unconscious fun. Go out to your local hill, or hell even the backyard - jam to some +vibes tunes & rail some turns. If you don’t have fun doing that then fuck

For someone who thinks he's so edgy that he has been banned from this site 9 times, you sure are being an emo little bitch about skiing.
Get fucking over it. Take some time off, come back to it.

Am I the only one reading your posts as just NS bullshit because you're bored and there have been other "I am sick of skiing" threads and the cool thing to do on forums is to repeat what others have said. Some might call it the full tilt syndrome.

you would probably say "try tide pods" if this was anyone else's thread
