Why Ski?
Psychologists have studied the rationale for skiing – skiers speculate about it – ordinary mortals shake their heads in dismay over it. There is ambivalence to this sport.
There are no scores or points to skiing. But the beauty of movement gives a self-assurance that is better than winning a game. It is a sport that brings escape from the cares and tensions of daily life.
Skiing brings an awareness of the grandeur of nature; an exhausting exercise for most people, yet no other sport gives such a feeling of satisfaction and healthy vigor.
Why do we ski? Words can’t explain it.
- You have to experience the hours and days and weeks of skiing.
- You have to meet the people who ski – the individualists, the non-conformists.
- You have to see the beauty of snow-covered mountains and valleys.
- You have to participate in this moment of truth.
Why do we ski? You have to become a skier to know.
