Does solo skiing get boring? - Snowboarding Forum

Sophiadolf · 06-04-2010, 04:47 PM

Hey everyone,

I am 15 years old and I have 3 very embarrassing skin tags on my neck. I am scared and embarrassed to where my hair up in gym class because I think people will make fun of me. I always try to hide my neck inside my shirt but its still noticeable!

Is there anyway I can remove these skin tags at home?

Please help, they are ruining my life!

Just make friends on the lift and meet random people and be like yo can I ski with you? Or just put tunes on and I promise you will never get bored.

A week might be pushing it. When I moved out to New Mexico this past fall I went several times by myself. You will end up making a friend on the chair lift eventually if you are social enough. All of my loner trips were 1-2 days tops though, so you might consider shortening your stay.

There is something peaceful about being out in the mountains alone and being able to totally follow your own lead.

Have fun

I snowboard on my own all the time. My friends are all skiers (when they even do that), and I'm in the age group where people tend to risk-aversion (a quality I don't share). My wife and daughter are at the snowplow level of skiing, so that's no help. It does get a little lonely at times, but the real problem is like with running or working out -- when you're with someone, you tend to challenge each other. On your own it's too easy to get into a comfort zone and find yourself doing the same runs over and over.

you don't even have to be social at all, some people you ride with at the lifts just won't shut the hell up.

But really, even with my friends, I only want to keep company at the lifts/gandola.. the rest of the time I'm too busy shredding and focusing on landing tricks.

Definitely spam. Indicated by the ski resort link in their signature.

Anyway, I'll bite too. I went twice this past winter by myself, and I had a blast. Just popped my headphones on, listened to some good tunes and I never got lonely.

I mostly board alone, I'm just not very good at boarding in a group because I will completely vear off if I see something shiny I want to hit, regardless of where everyone else is going. Most people are pretty freindly though on the lift, and since your both relatively like minded people, (your both snowboarding/skiing) I find it's ussually pretty easy to have good conversation. So, for me I guess I get my social interaction on the lift.

I agree though that on a certain level it helps to ski with other people who are at or above your level, because it will subconsciously push you to get better.
