Why yes let’s deforest the side of a mountain so we can run down it and possibly hit trees at fatal speeds. Im fucking glad climate change is making this bougie bullshit harder to do. I went skiing once, horrible experience. Everyone in the skiing lodge was a rich white asshole and it felt like I walked into a country club, no a hitler youth recreation club. If you own a timeshare let alone an entire house at a ski resort you deserve the fucking wall!!!!

I think i only spent 80 bucks on my equipment, and it's been working well for the past decade for cross country lmao.

Yeah this thread is wild. It's a geography/climate tied sport. People are bitching about equipment being so expensive in California? The place famous for not getting much snow?

As this thread has tried to correct against only criticising the concept of traveling for vacations and the environmental factors of ski resorts (which both do suck yes) the criticism of non-alpine skiing has gotten even dumber than when it was just being ignored.

I guess I wish people could learn that not everything is always about them.

Tbf cross country equipment can be very expensive in a country that is all about cross country skiing.
