for me skiing is cool on so many levels
Skiing last weekend with my 69yr old mother and 4yr old daughter is really cool. Watching my little girl make her first turns down lower monday mourning, her first legit blue trail, super cool.
I've been skiing for 34 years, can't remember not skiing...and have pretty much thought skiing was the coolest thing ever for my entire life, even in the 80s. Actually, when you compare skiing to what was going on in music in the 80s, skiing was waaaay cooler...Doug Coombs, Scot Schmidt, Plake, Hattrup, the late 80s was the dawn of so much of what skiing is today. JHAF was laying the groundwork for resort accessed backcountry...all very cool. Cooler than Milli Vanilli and MC Hammer...sooo much cooler.
I've worked in the industry since I was 16...worked in shops in RI, Tahoe, Vail, and Maine, now I'm thinking, talking, and daydreaming about skiing and ski equipment pretty much every day, all year, every year...pretty cool. My skiing job means I travel all over the country to ski shops, trade shows, magazine tests, demos, and a bunch of great mountains and get paid to go out skiing with people and talk about equipment. Crazy cool at times.
Being outside as much as possible in the winter while most folks are hiding out at home...cool. Not hibernating and hoping the warmer weather will hurry up and melt all this damned snow so I can go back to living...very cool.
Skiing is one of the only times where I'm thinking about nothing other than what I'm doing...
The feeling of nearly flying down the mountain with nothing but gravity and your body propelling you...too cool to put into words.
My grandmother skiing until she was 93...a lifetime of cool.
Looking forward to teaching my 10 week old son how to ski in a couple of years while his sister, my wife, and mother cheer him on...very cool.
There's nothing I'd rather be doing.
