Would you get bored with 365-day skiing?

[billski]

Suppose you lived somewhere in which 365-day a year skiing/boarding was available. And I don't mean ski Dubai. :0) I also presume you could make a good living, and have all the conveniences you are used to. Like suppose you lived in SLC and there was good, substantial snow in the hills 12 months a year. How many days would you be out there? Would you give up your other sports/activities? Could you get bored?

Since I am obsessed with skiing I don't think I would get bored if I had 365 days of it. However, I do love spring, summer and fall too with all those seasons have to offer so I don't mind if my skiing season starts in October and ends in June.

I would ski every day I could and never get bored.

Ever.

I like salt water far too much to want 365 days of skiing. I prefer a week in South America to break up the summer rather than opt for an endless winter life.

 

[wa-loaf]

Well I wouldn't ski 365 days a year, but I'd never get bored if I could get out once or twice a week year round.

Only during leap year.

Let's call it within a half hour of Mt. Hood or Whistler, where it's a possibility. I'd probably do somewhere around 120-150 days per year, easing up during the summer, but I doubt I'd ever get bored with it.

365 days. i'm there.

I personally don't think I would enjoy it as much. Half the fun for me is the anticipation.

I agree. I love skiing but I'm not sure I would treasure it as much if it were available to me all the time. Because it isn't, it's that much more special to me. The same goes for the season changes. Sometimes I really get frustrated in the summer when it's really humid and hot, but I enjoy the fact that we do get to experience this variety--and with the summer comes the opportunity for swimming and other outdoor pursuits that can't be done during the winter months. I would maybe like 1-2 months more of skiing per year, but not at the sacrifice of the seasons.

 

[speden]

My knees couldn't take it. I'd be out with an injury before I got bored.

 

[deadheadskier]

Moderating the boards would be much easier if there was skiing available year round, ya cranky bastids!

:lol:

 

[Ski Diva]

I think I'd feel less compelled to be out there as much as I am each week. Right now I feel like I have to squeeze in as much skiing as I can, since it's only available for a limited time. I'd certainly be willing to give it a try!

 

[Warp Daddy]

Variety is the spice of life and ANY strength used to excess becomes a weakness!

So while i'm a ski nut, i am also easily bored and seek to experience many different activities . I am not change averse and actually look forward to doing differant activities when ski season is over

 

[riverc0il]

While I am pretty die hard about skiing and take extending my season more seriously than most, no way would I want to spend even half a year skiing everyday let alone a full year. I think anyone that says they would ski 365 days needs to get a life... or at least imagine the lift they do have extinguished and replaced by only skiing. There is far more to life than skiing and I appreciate as much of this world that I can with the limited amount of time I have.

 

[JD]

yes.

 

[4aprice]

It depends upon what you mean by year round. I couldn't ski everyday because there's much more to do in life then just ski. On the other hand If I was near the snowfield at Mt Hood and it was summer I would do a few mornings then go boating, golf or do what ever. Living all my life here in the northeast means I've never had the chance to ski summers and thus its a strickly seasonal thing to me.

As much as I love skiing, I do like the summer. You need a couple of months to reflect and get ready for the next season. Anticipation is a lot of fun this time of year!
