I don't like bc skiing with them because I'm so concerned. I actually have to mentally prepare to do something like that with them as opposed to going with friends. It almost not enjoyable unless it's a spring bomber snowpack. Even then, warming is a concern.
I certainly found my emotions having kids. Those that don't have kids have no clue what it's like.
You quoted yourself, you are so dumb.Quote:

This. I think I spend a stupid amount on disability insurance. It is my rationalization to keep playing.Quote:

Isn’t gofundme ski bum disability insurance?
Alot of great riders have come out of Canada cuz of the universal hc
Can’t believe this thread has gone 7 pages. Risk is and always will be so different from person to person

But it makes sense to discuss it and perhaps see different viewpoints on things.Quote:

I think that was me and most people in their early twenties. Peer pressure and Kodak courage always season the choices made too.
And then there are people who are on a different mental plane than 99% of us and don't care about consequences - they are suicidal, dumb, or psychopaths - just avoid those people if you can, ha.
Risk is not a big philosophical debate IMO.
You must be new here.Quote:

And we can always count on someone complaining about the thread to keep it going.
there's a thread for complaining. it's got more pages than the station wagon and upstate ny threads combined!Quote:

This place is dysfunctional as fuck. A discussion on risk has no place in a ski forum.
I can't agree with that. At least it has some depth beyond "check me out, look at my line, blah blah blah."Quote:

There are three separate subforums in here for threads about situations where the risks went poorly. A thread that directly discusses risk isn't unusual. This certainly isn't the first one.Quote:
