2. You're a serial "couch guest" in ski country.

Next guy start with #3 then so on and we'll see what the list looks like at the end of the thread.:smile:

7. You drive 3.5 hours each way, alone, in the rain, in mid-May, to ski 1 trail at Killington for a few hours. Unfortunately this evidence of one's ski bum-ness is foreclosed for the foreseeable future.

12. It depresses you to see ski shops replace their ski inventories with bikes and kayaks.

13. Your summer activities -- biking, inline skating, lifting weights -- are all designed to get your body ready for the skiing up ahead.

14. You spend too much time on forums like this since you're looking for ski related conversation when all around you are people talking about what they will do on the Cape in May.
