Should deep snow skiing be regulated?

If deep snow skiing is highly addictive, should it be regulated?

(note: be warned!)   

If deep snow skiing is outlawed, then only outlaws will ski deep snow!

If deep snow skiing is wrong, I don't want to be right.

That's a pretty funny subject Larry.
I think skiing in general is as addicting as the Deep Powder theory.
There was an article written by someone, I can't remember his name, but I downloaded parts of his humorous article called The Intervention.
It goes like this...
Do you need help?
At which point is a skiing intervention needed? When does a sport become less like a hobby and more like a problem? After reading through some paperwork regarding the dangers of addictions I found myself replacing the word "alcohol" or "drugs" with the word "skiing" an alarming realization occurs.

Does skiing cause you to have self destructive behavior?
Check-I've got the x-rays to prove it.

Have you ever jeopardized your job by skiing?
Check-I've taken plenty of "sick" days that were beyond sick.

Does skiing cause a strain on your personal relationships?
Check-This affair keeps me away from home almost every weekend and frequently for weeks at a time.

Do you ever ski by yourself?
Check-"No friends on a powder day"

Do you ever lie about skiing?
Check-(But only to my boss)

Do you find yourself spending money you don't have on skiing?
Check-Why I need a new quiver every year is beyond me?

Are you biologically predisposed to a skiing addiction?
Check-My dad skis more than I do.

As question after question returned positive, I realized that I had a serious problem.

Thought I would share...as a admitted ski addict.
Seriously, if anyone needs to talk or share about their problem I am there to listen, but you need to keep focused on the problem/addiction/solution not blathering about stories of powder skiing, on and on...
Of course I will only available after skiing like my sponsor who I can't track down on a powder day.

My name is Jeff...and I am a deep snow addict  :'(  

My name is Dan, and I too am a deep snow addict.

It all started when I was a child, playing in the snow after a big storm. It started out innocent and innocuous with the occasional trip to the sledding hill on the quiet saturday morning after a few inches fell.

Shortly after, I found myself getting into snowball fights, making snow "angels", and staying at the sledding hill long past dark while my family fretted at home about my safety.

From there, I discovered the mountains and a thing called a snowboard. That's when it got out of control. My family and friends never said anything as I spiraled out of control. I spent all my money, moved to different states all in search of, what I can now call, my addiction to deep snow.

In the past few years, I have been able to get it under control with the support of my family and friends. And now I don't feel guilty about my addiction because I have embraced it.
