Who else is with me? The week after I was done, I started counting the months until resorts would open.

What's depressing was being trapped inside for 10 hours today while it was +20 celcius out today. So instead tomorrow I'm going to go ride in a likely thunder storm at +10...

My job is sucking the life out of me, so no time to think about being depressed.

But, there still seems to be snow in the mountains if hiking for it is not a problem. But, I have a ton of stuff to take care of to prepare for summer that I need to get done, so season probably over anyway.. I guess it would be depressing if not for other hobbies

Hmmm... they say it's -8°C up there... and windy... and there's 50cm of fresh... but it's a full on spring bluebird... so... thick or thin merino layer? Will it be too warm in all that sunshine or too cold in the chill? I can't decide... it's depressing...

It ended a month ago here. And yes, depression has totally set in for me. I was only introduced to snowboarding in March, so this is already the longest I've had to endure without... it... since my addiction began. Everyone else around me is all cheery for summer, flowers, and sunshine and ALL I want is the return of cold, darkness, and my precious snow. I always preferred winter, honestly, but now I need it. Summer has nothing for me. Snowboarding is the only thing I want to do outside; nothing else makes me feel so free and invigorated. I say: F*ck summer (excuse my language).

Fortunately, I'll be finishing a bachelor's degree soon and can potentially look into going to graduate school somewhere with higher-elevation and a year-round (or at least very long) snowboarding season.

Let me know if anyone knows of a place with a good PhD program in biochemistry or molecular biology and ~7000-10000 ft peaks with tons of snow at reasonable driving distance. That would be my paradise.

Yea, in Southern IL there aren't too many mountains to bike on or hike... fishing, coaching little league baseball, campfires and getting into cycling and planning my winter trips. That's about how I spend the summer, but still get withdrawl from not riding.

I've been the same in my non-snowsports years. The lack of sunshine n air if one stays inside or under the inversion clouds in winter alla time makes a huge mood difference. You'll have a great next winter with a big energy boost. I never felt those depressions beginning in Nov anymore since I turned into a weekend warrior :)
