Why do we ski? For many it is an obsession, where from November-April it takes the highest priority and everything else just seems to lack in relevance. In my own pursuit of powder snow I have bid farewell to my best friends and family, traveled hundreds of miles, and spent hours working a job I hated just for the opportunity to wake up and ski 7 days a week if I chose to do so. Dolores LaChappelle argued that it is "powder snow (that) teaches us how to live," I have indeed learned much in seeking it out.
1. It's Always worth it. Quit making excuses for why something isn't worth doing and get out there!
2. Powder is always better shared amongst good company, I love and miss you all friends!
3. The dorms were way cooler when I was 18.
4. Drinking the night before and Dawn Patrolling don't mix.
