There is so much to geek out on with skiing, probably much like anything new.
A few years ago I moved to Austria. Last year my young son wanted to start skiing, so in my mid-40s I'm also learning.
The amount of time I researched which skis and boots to buy would easily be above 40 hours. Then searching the Internet for the best bargains again added more time.
Pretty much after just one season, I'm now into waxing my own skis. Another total geek activity. So many different waxes for different conditions.
Then watching the weather and trying to figure out where the best snow will be for next weekend, that has to qualify as geek.
