Your obsessed with skiing when......

[alpinemorg]

-When your wife forces you to bag up the skiis to move them to the basement in JULY, you convince her to let you leave one pair in the hallway for "inspiration".

-You can quote your exact number of ski days including powder, spring, high/low temps, resort, backcountry, at the drop of a hat to a complete stranger.

-You convince your wife to take your May honeymoon to CO to ski A-basin.

-You sneak out to hide your boards in the car, knowing the hospital she's having her gaul-bladder removed in is 25 minutes from a hill...."what else was I supposed to do while you were in recovery for 3 hours!?"

-You start climbing at a ridiculous pace come spring so you don't get the "end of winter blues".

 

[SnowRider]

You almost get a detention for standing up and yelling that it's snowing.

You turn the I love football song (Bud Light One) into a I love snowboarding song.

You seem to always have hope that the weekend rain will magically turn to snow up north.

You post on this site...

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

- You're commuting in near blizzard conditions and thinking how great this will be for an upcoming ski trip

- You refresh the ski reports on the resorts you might go to this weekend hourly

- You've walked around in your new boots in the house enough times to get 'the look' from your wife.

- Upon hearing the local forcast not calling for snow you quietly mumble 'dammit!' to yourself.

- You walk outside at 2pm, see your breath and think, it's about damn time....

while walking down the sidewalk, you come into contact with every branch, bush, tree limb you can hit just imagining you are in the trees....

When the number of lift tickets on your jacket are more than you can count on one hand.

gaper:lol:

 

[PowderDeprived]

Thats seriously not cool to leave tickets hanging on your jacket, it is not a sign of being a serious skier, as gapers think it is, as a real skier would have far to many to even make it possible, to clip them all.

- You can identify this snowphone number 802-583-SNOW, better yet have it memorized
- You get a job mowing grass at MRG durring the summer so you can study the terrain
- The only time you ever hike, is for turns, or to study the terrain.
- You have a snowmaking system in your back yard (Phildozer)
- Your bathroom floor is littered with ski mags
- You can name every single trail at every ski resort you have ever been to. I can!
- Wile jogging down a dirt road, you angulate your hips, skid your feet in the gravel, and practice carving turns.

You know you're obsessed with skiing when..

One type of ski isn't enough, even in New England...:lol:

Ha! I got one like that.

While skating at the local rink, you find yourself carving slalom turns on the ice instead of skating in the traditional manner. And then you try to spray your friend and realize it is far less dramatic on ice than it is with snow.

But has semi-equally enjoyable annoying results

 

[SnowRider]

-You carry around more snowboard books and magazines in school than you do textbooks and notebooks

 

[PowderDeprived]

- Your idea of a dream date with your Girlfriend, is a day on the Slopes (DOHH!)
(Ending back at the in-front of the fireplace or woodstove though)
- Your favorite thing to photograph is snow, and stuff that is covered by it.
(Only time I ever bother getting my camera out anymore)
- You have made or are are Planning to make a a pair, or multible pairs of skis.....
(I have a real problem, Anybody know of any 12 step programs for ski addict's)
- Your drug of choice, is lines of White Powder.....
(Cheap, How Original)
- You are posting in this thread right now, face it we are all sick...... After all ask any sane person (winterhater) from the city, what they think of someone who enjoys going outside in cold weather, sliding down a steep icy slope, and knowing they will probably eat it and fall a few times that day.

...Or when walking through the town's outlying City Forest, you do the same while gazing at the possible undulating lines existing between the trees, rocks, and bushes....

 

[kingslug]

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

Oh how I wish. My company even had a chief engineers job opening next to Little Cotton wood.

Obsessed: You relate everything to skiing.

[Treeskier]

Your an addictied skier

When your wife tells you to go to Kmart in May becaouse you have taken the first weekend off of the season and your are now moody and cranky....she need you out of the house.

When you rock skis have at least 1 edge missing and more like 3 or the 4. You still use them the following fall for early hiking...."just broken in"

You buy a house where you feel the best tree skiing is.

In the summer when you wake up with angzities of work and can't get back to sleep until you dream about deep powder skiing.

You go to Chile in the summer.

Your clients' know on a good snow storm week day to just leave a message because they know you are not available.

In July you and your friends start to talk about skiing again.

You hike and work on tree lines in the summer for your favorite MT.

 

[shwilly]

You're reading a book about the Cold War, and whenever it abbreviates Strategic Air Command as SAC you think of Steep and Cheap.

"SAC had....already begun to plan its attack of Soviet targets, and Stalin knew it."

 

[Hawkshot99]

You just got your new helmet today that has speakers in the ear pads. So what do you do? Hook them up to your computer and listen to music while wearing the helmet, and writing a paper for school.
