Bulgaria Ski discussion board

What is a 'real' skier anyway? Surely if you put on a pair of skis, or go on a skiing holiday you are a 'real' skier, right.
Wrong. If all you do is go skiing then you're simply a person that goes skiing. Real skiers are consumed by the sport. They spend their time dreaming of the next trip, searching the internet for new and obscure places to visit-rejoicing in the fact that Aspen just got five feet of snow in October, even though they have no plans to visit there.
Real skiers aren't necessarily sliding twenty set handrails in Denver any more than they are gunning 55 degree Alaskan couloirs-they are as likely to be one week newbies as thet are twenty year veterans; it's all about how you approach the sport.
1. Do you spend hours on the internet forums and manifacture's websites?
2.Have you read the Ultimate Gear Guide cover to cover?
3. Do you own your own equipment?
4.Have you brought any of this years ski dvd's?
5.Do you check the webcams weeks before yo go away to check the snow fall?
6.Does a weeks heli-skiing sound better than a new car?
7, Have you ever considered jacking it all in and moving to the mountains?
If you have answered yes to more than 4 of the above, then you already know the difference between people who go skiing and real skiers. If you came in the less than four, but the rest all look like a good idea, you're almost there; welcome aboard
