Replying to Considering giving up skiing
Looking to hear some other opinions to see if how I'm feeling is normal.
The start of this ski season has me feeling less than excited to get back on the mountain. Typically I'm dreaming up new tricks and jumping around spinning off sidewalks when I start to feel the new season approaching, but this year it's just not there. I'm 24 and have been skiing since I was a kid. I've gone through a number of injuries and always came back ready and happy to be back in the park. I went to Killington over the weekend (more out of peer pressure and less out of excitement) and felt discouraged in trying any bigger tricks and could barely do the tricks I'm used to. I have a lot of other things going like work, football, the gym, and being with my friends in the city and I'm starting to feel like those have taken priority over skiing and I'd rather spend time on that than risk getting injured and losing some of those things. This year feels different and I'm having trouble knowing if my time with skiing is really over or if it's just a bump in the road. Has anyone else felt this way, taken a break from skiing, or quit entirely? Curious what others have experienced - thanks for the input.
