Yes, and if you're posting on a ski forum in May, you're officially an addict. Twelve step program? SA, Sliders Anonymous? Gotta admit, gave half a thought of driving to Mt. Washington to join in on the T4T Slackfest last weekend, but fought the urge. One run is too many, seven months is not enough.

Your asking the question in the wrong place. Addicts can't admit that they have a problem.

Yeah man. Admitting it is apparently the first step in quitting so I try hard not to.

Considering that the season is done (with the exception of a few trips out west or skiing Tucks) and several of us are still posting about skiing, ya - I think you might say it is addicting!
I think in my case it has more to do with Internet addiction!

It's not addictive. Wanting to ski year round is normal. According to me. My wife and friends think differently.

I can quit whenever I want.
Yesterday was a beautiful 80 degree day, my neighbors were out barbecuing and passing out steak sandwiches to whoever stopped by, and I spent most of the afternoon on Google Earth checking out satellite images of ski areas. Put me down as having a problem.

Been there, done that. Except I'll use google street view at some of the ski resorts where a google employee drove around the trails with a snowmobile.

Exactly, if it has no negative effect on one's behavior...in so far as getting along in life with providing the basics needed in this so-called society, I don't see a problem...

Yesterday I spent about an hour of a beautiful June Sunday looking at pictures I took last season to see if there were any hidden jewels I could find with a little cropping and optimizing. Here is one of some random stranger having a nice run, wishing I was back in that environment again

The first step toward healing is to admit you have a problem.
I do not.
