One thing I'm glad about is that I'm still new enough to this skiing thing that all skiing is good...from the hardpack at the beginning of the season to the icy day I had a Jay Peak to the mush I skied on at Wachusett at the end of the season, it was all good...

I've had some tough ski days and some were more interesting than others, but none have been boring yet. Hope it stays that way...

It does. I've never had a bad day skiing. I've had runs that I didn't enjoy as much as others, but I've always left the mountain with a smile on my face.

I've been skiing for 30 years and haven't had a bad day yet! Obviously some are better than others but I still have fun everytime I'm out on the hill.

I've had some points when I was skiing 75+ days a year where I have gotten a bit picky and there are certainly days that I'm unhappy with conditions, but I'm always happy that I'm skiing ALWAYS

Welcome to our world.

There is a fine line between a hobby, an obsession, and a full blown mental illness.

Your very worst day of skiing will still be better than your best day at work.

It only gets confusing when you become a Ski Instructor and your work IS skiing.

I HATE that line! :smash:

On your worst day of skiing you can break every bone in your body. Seldom happens at work, and never happens on your best day at work.

Not saying that I don't love skiing, but. . . what kind of job do you have?? :blink: :lol:


B) One of my standard lines is, "The good thing about skiing like crap is you can be in mid-season form in no time at all!" ;-)
