If you don't, do you want/wish to do something? For some reason, the rush of cool air is very therapeutic for me.


I used to ski when I was younger. I skied from ages 7-11 and learned snowboarding at age 10. I've been snowboarding pretty much every year since I learned, but in the past 6 years, I've been too busy (between school and work) to go often.

This winter I signed up for advanced lessons to help me get back into the swing of things. The ski area is located 3 minutes away from my work too, so I'm planning on going after work on Wednesdays in Jan and Feb.

Sounds cool. I'm not near anywhere to ski, but I wish I could.I had friends who skied while I was growing up, but my family was too poor to do anything like that.

Winter is usually when I get depressed so I find exercise important.

Last year I got back into downhill skiing so I'm excited to resume this year. We got seasons passes to a small hill a couple hours away from us, so it'll be a fun season. The kids enjoy it too.

I worked at a resort for 6 years so i did a fair bit of snowboarding when i was younger. Between busyness and lack of funds i haven't been much the past few years, but i hope to change that this year.

I used to ski and snowboard but it's been years since I've done so. Hoping to go to the Alps next winter if things are going well. It's actually cheaper to go to Switzerland than to go skiing here in Sweden.

I ski a lot here in NH, but haven't much due to lack of funds and inability to drive.

Too cold for me. I also get depressed in winter and don't want to do anything. Maybe that'll change a little since I'm using a light box this year. But I hate being cold so winter is spent indoors anyway.
