If you like to rip I think it is imperative. Maybe pure recreational skiers can get by doing nothing but ripping and bumping require some investment.

No doubt, I need to do a bit of training. A few years ago, I could still ski the bumps maybe 30% 50% of the time and would be sore as hell a couple days after. Now, my legs won't let me ski bumps long enough to make all my other muscles get sore. Just simply making turns on a black is boring to me, so if I want to really enjoy my future ski trips, I will have to start working out a bit. No doubt, I need to for more reasons than just skiing. I don't want to wake up five years from now and find out I am grossly overweight and cannot do anything fun anymore.
