Now with less breakage.

Cross-country is the superior skiing experience anyway - you just go for a pleasant walk in the forest, and the skis let you go a bit further and faster than just walking. There's snow on the trees and it's quiet and pretty, and you can stop anywhere you want to have a snack. Maybe you have a thermos of hot cocoa in your backpack?

Or you could hurtle yourself down a mountain, I guess.

Guillotines at the bottom of the ski run IMO.

For rich fuckoffs, card carrying athletes will be allowed to keep living.

you don't have to imagine it, people go "back country" skiing all the time here, because no matter what there's always someone more hardcore than you in the Rockies.

This is correct. I did downhill for decades and loved it, but got annoyed with all the douchebags that were wearing $2000 in gear and sitting around in the lodge all day after a couple of runs. I mean, spend your money as you please, but when this became the norm I just opted out.

Being on cross country gear, out in a quiet forest by yourself or with a friend; that is the optimal skiing experience.

I come from poor so I've always viewed skiing and golfing as weird sports that people do to show off their ability to pay for kit.

I'm not as poor now and I play table top war games so I can't get away with talking poo poo about the cost of hobbies. Also my knees are totally screwed and would likely dislocate the second I strapped a ski on.

In conclusion, skiing sucks, can confirm.

This is like quitting bowling because some people showed up at the bar with expensive bowling shirts on and you getting pissed over it. Do you have any idea how stupid and entitled this makes you sound?

If youre from a place where it snows you can find a local ski hill that isn't a mega-resort, although more and more places are trying to be mega-resorts.

You can get ski equipment second hand heavily discounted and even do some light repair on them if youre marginally handy.

Skiing is totally a rich person activity but what a better way to stick it to the rich fuckwits than by tearing it up in denim overalls and a coonskin cap on a 10 year old snowboard.

As an adult, I couldn't give any less fucks about some guys new designer ski getup.

Imagine if you took a spaceship to a faraway planet and saw a society of creatures who toiled away at the spacefactory all day just to spend all of their spacebucks on tickets that grant them the privilege of sliding down the side of a mountain over and over. That's how the aliens feel when they look at us. Even so, I must admit snowboarding is fun.
