7 Reasons Not to Date a Skier

1. Skiing Powder Is Better Than Sex

Skiing powder is better than sex… Is it really? Yes, for two reasons. It lasts longer and if your equipment has issues, it can be replaced. Therefore, getting down will always come in second place.

2.Early Mornings and Coffee Pots

Waking up at ungodly hours to drive over two hours to chase the storm is bad enough. But clambering around the house/apartment with skis, poles, boots, and backpack in tow makes sleeping in during the winter damn near impossible. Not to mention, the coffee maker is left on with a half full pot every damn day.

3. Ski Movies

“You have to see this ski movie…” If you ever hear this phrase, run far—far away.

4. Quality Time is Ski Time

From November through May, skiers will find any excuse to bail on dinner plans, weekends visiting family, and weddings to feed their hunger for more powder turns. Be aware that during winter, relationships always take a back seat to skiing. Which leads me to my next point.

5. Job Security, What’s That?

In order to get in as many days in as possible, skiers avoid 9-5’s at all costs. So instead of brunch dates on Sunday, skier boyfriends/girlfriends will actually be waiting your table at said brunch spot.

6. The Beach Is Not at A-Basin

As winter’s grasp loosens and springs starts to show up, most people tend to desire warmer climates after a long winter and even longer mud season. But not skiers, their beach is at Arapahoe Basin. This comes as a surprise to their girlfriend/boyfriend, who thought they meant Southern California, not a muddy parking lot situated high in the mountains.

7. Excess Pre-season Stoke

Starting in September, premature winter stoke rears its ugly head. This excess and unnecessary excitement bubbles up like Sulphur and it stinks just as bad. Nobody wants to hear about all the hare-brained ski adventures that are in the works. Chances are, skiers will complete one out of a hundred of these hypothetical, far-fetched ski dreams.

I would add that being a skier and having a sig other that doesn't ski has it's benefits. I like having skiing as my time and my lady likes having her time while I go skiing. Sometimes she even kicks me out of the house and tells me to go ride, hike, or ski. It works out pretty good.

@kufo I appreciate this but man, you need to take it easy. You are like a forum virgin bringing all this ski anxiety to the preseason.

Relax and just revel in the community. Love some snow and get outside.

Jesus, I sound like a hippy. This reminds me of that song that says to leave California before it makes you soft. Maybe Nevada?

Nr 5 is fail. Having a reliable job brings in cash to do QUALITY skiing. Sure, you won't get as many crappy hardpack days at your local hill, but you get cash to travel! What you need is a dependable, well paying and FLEXIBLE job.

Word. My job is hard to get away from but when I do, I get far away because it provides me the funds to do whatever the fuck I want. Japan is only a few months away!!

Chill out with the new threads Kufojong.

If there weren't JONGS around then there would be a potential for the word to lose it value and understanding. It's important for people to fulfill the roles and responsibilities of a JONG in order to keep the word alive, and being used. Therefore I embrace my jongness. 💗

Kufojong is your new name. I encourage you to embrace it.

That said, just read The Catcher in the Rye: Wilhelm Stekel said "The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."

Live young and jongy but not so much that people make assumptions about you and typecast you. That happens a lot in these forums.
