#1 The most important thing in a college is how close it is to a ski area.

When you sell your house in the east and move to UT for the snow!

#7 when you get a new pair of skis they take up half your bed for a night or 2

When you get up in the morning, throw on gear, get to the mountain, put your boots on in the parking lot, go dirrectly to the chair lift, ski all day untill last chair, get home tune your skis, put P-Tex In every single C-Hair sized nick in your base, even though you know it won't hold, spend an hour buffing the wax, then watch ski race results on TV, make your girlfriend watch another ski movie, spend 2 hours posting on Alpinezone, and SKIMRV and then sleep, dream about skiing, and repeat the following day.

And/OR In the middle of july you dream about a nasty thunderstorm leaving a few inches of Hail on the mountain, and that you Hiked it to Ski it, but you wake up before you get to the Skiing Part

True story, I get those dreams all the time durring the summer, that it hailed, or snowed or something, and that I hiked up, but I always Wake up before I end up skiing.

Man, Last Febuary, I had a Nightmare I was at Sugarbush South and that it was Thawed Out, and that Stiens was completely Gone even after the 4 days of continuous snowmaking on it the week before, and that I was talking to the guy, and he was saying that they were also planing on closing up for the season at M/E that day. Then I was explaning to him something to the extent of K-MART has 200 trails open or something or another and that I would just go there. Thats All I rember of that, thankfully, and well After I woke up that morning, I had a very frantic urge to check the Sugarbush Snow Report

Man feels alot like last week.....

Nice!

I just thought about that today. I was going to add all of my regular hills on my cell this afternoon.

You save all your vacation days for the winter and plan them out ahead of time for long weekends and save your sick days, even if you're two days away from death, for powder days that you don't want to burn vacation days on...

:dunce:

 

[billski]

1. You have your gear staged by the door and can scramble at the sound of "POWDER DAY" faster than a fighter pilot can scramble to a "Real world" command.

2. The car always has a full tank of gas in it, along with a spare set of clothes (you never know when powder days might get you "trapped".)

3. Speed dial numbers include: a) Your bosses' number for sick call in, b) ski resorts reports c) national weather service d) highway condition reports.

4. All donut shops, McD's, rest stops, Starbucks, and all lavatory facilities fully mapped out, along with best parking spot to minimize any necessary stop time. (Sometimes too much coffee is a bad thing....)

 

[Marc]

You're so excited about starting a thread about being obsessed with skiing you use the possessive "your" instead of the contraction "you're."

 

[Greg]

You're obsessed with skiing when......

...You start a Web site about skiing...

 

[koreshot]

...You start a Web site about skiing...

Who did that? :grin:

1. Walk around the house in your ski boots to make sure no new pressure points have developed over summer.

2. Put blocks at tip and tail of ski and jump around on it to "break it in sooner".

3. Put skis against the wall in front of your treadmill, cause you notice you work out much harder when you do.

4. When you have a scare that you might have left the stove on, the following goes through your mid:
Oh no! My skis!
Oh no! My cats!
On no! My ski pictures!
(of course you quickly suffle the order in your head for the wife and do the Oh no! My cats! first)

5. Download daily snow stats from Alta to run some statistical analysis on the probability of a dry spell vs. probability of heavy precip during the month of December.

3. Put skis against the wall in front of your treadmill, cause you notice you work out much harder when you do.

My skis and boots are lovingly placed just a few feet to the right of my TV. I also leave them there to see which visitors ask about them. After that I talk their ear off.

You know you're in college when you have 4 different pizza places numbers in your cell phone

But yeah I pretty much do almost all of the things people have listed so far.

When your boss knows you won't be at work when there is more than a foot of new snow.

 

[Jonni]

You look forward to checking the online snow reports twice everyday if you cannot ski. Once in the morning for the morning report and again at 4 PM for the afternoon report. You also have all the URL's to said reports either memorized or bookmarked for quick retrieval.
