Ski

Skiing is the greatest thing in the world. Being born into a family that skis every weekend is the best thing thats ever happened to me because I don’t know what the fuck I would be doing right now without it. My current job as a ski coach revolves around skiing and I don’t know of many other jobs I am capable of doing. So it has saved my life in that way because I don’t think I would’ve made it through college if I had stayed and even if I did graduate there is no chance I would be able to have an office job. I just couldn’t do it.

Not only is skiing my entire lively hood right now but it is also my favorite thing to do in the world and I have made a ton of friends through skiing. I am never happier than when I am fucking shredding and that makes it extremely easy to make friends while skiing. Pretty much anyone you ski with you become friends with. I went to high school at the ski academy I coach at now and I was friends with pretty much all just loved skiing and no matter how weird they were we could bond over skiing. The best part about skiing, at least for competitive skiers is the way that its not a team sport. So everyone your’e around is actually your competition and you should want to beat them, but you end up becoming friends and rooting for them even when they’re technically trying to beat you. I love that because it is so different than any team sport I played growing up. I used to hate all of my opponents in soccer but in skiing those guys are my best friends and that type of chill friendly atmosphere has kind of shaped my personality now. And because of the extremely positive impact its had on my life I think everyone should try to ski as much as they can.
