Ski Diva Extraordinaire
A new rule this year- Ski now, bills later...
Otherwise I'd NEVER be able to afford to ski. I figure I've got 7 months to pay/catch up on those bills, but a good ski day is worth it's weight in gold to me.

Ski days are too precious to spend with negative people.
I've never managed to actually bring someone else up when they were determined to be miserable. .
I needed to hear that. I've never "given up" on a friend before, but think that after a year of trying to help someone it may be time. Typically I hang with other high energy, positive types and so this is a new life lesson for me...
- HAVE FUN !
- bring extra gloves
- always dry your boots apres ski
- follow instructors [when available : ) ]
I don't know. Friends are friends. I tend to stick with my friends through thick and thin. However, not every one I met become my "friend". Some people are just basically not fun to be around. They don't become my friend. In other words, none of my friends are negative by nature.

I'm naturally a happy person. So I don't get troubled by the temporary negativity of my friends. Occasionally, I would have acquaintants who are negative. I'm not shy to tell them to get lost because I'm not having their whinning any more! If they're NOT the naturally whinny kind, that was enough to get them to snap out of it. Those who are perpectually negative will look for other more accomondating ones to do their whinning...
My new rule of skiing is kind of the inverse of AG's (although I 100% agree with hers, too) - if I feel like skiing, go, even if it means I'm leaving my husband at home because he's tired and wants to chill for the weekend. By doing this, I have five more ski days than he does this season =) That being said, I thought he wanted to ski this weekend (Breck's closing weekend), but it sounds like he'd just as soon stay home. So now I'm undecided. Sleeping in would be nice, too.
Well, since you know what you get out of it and what it get out of you. So it's a matter of balancing the two to come out ahead.In the past, I've gotten sucked into other people's drama - it takes a lot out of me, but it makes me feel good to be the hero/shoulder to cry on. So I've had to learn that sometimes, I can't be that person.
Absolutely! Especially in the Spring when the lower mountain is wet and sloppy, I will play all day on the summit runs and ride the gondi down rather than risk injury. My friends think I'm nuts for this, but rules are rules.Don't be afraid to download if you are tired.
