Skiing/Snowboarding can be fun but the average person is not going to pay $200 a day to fall on their ass srs.
Many of those resorts are ridiculous with their prices.

If you went 12 x it’s only 90 bucks per session
If I lived by a mountain I’d totally get a pass and spend every weekend at the mountain
If you lived in Vancouver and couldn’t make the drive to whistler you could get a seasons pass for 164 usd at grouse mountain - brb 12 times a year is only 13 bucks per session

I think I’d probably rather retire in aspen or whistler and become a ski bum instead of somewhere tropical
It’s a close call but I’m leaning towards ski resort life srs

Ski and tennis crew. Tennis in the early morning in the summer is probably the GOAT summer activity short of being in a tropical location
Never been proper golfing-went to the driving range once without gloves and got the gnarliest blisters of all time. kind of scarred me tbh

I mean for me to play men’s league hockey is $600 for a 6 month season with a 1 hr game a week and I only actually play 20 mins and the other 40 is sitting on the bench
Would much rather get a seasons pass to snowboard and have unlimited access to the mountain

How is the community surrounding those activities? Are the people actually smug and materialistic?
I never went skiing or snowboarding, but would like to get into it eventually.
Tennis is fun and I just play with a friend every now and then, don't plan on getting investing more time than this.
Lol @ golf.

All the elitist skiers I know that are members at private clubs or do a ton of whistler, Banff, tremblant trips are just rich people who like to ski, snowboard and hit up apres
I think saying rich people are snobby or act elitist is such a stereotype ... I actually find rich people to be more pleasant to be around than those of lesser means tbh

Otherwise everyone is just minding their own business. Randoms you're sharing a ski lift with are generally pleasant but almost never talk.

Skiing is pretty sweet (check username) I also used to race competitively.
Where I live now i rarely go as lake tahoe is the closest place to drive and it is not worth it to me.
brb $200 lift ticket
brb traffic all the way up and down
brb they shut down roads
brb trails fllled with people from countries who have never seen snow before
Not worth it. Then $20 for the equivalent of a McDonald's cheeseburger
If I go skiing I would rather get on a plane and go to WY, CO, etc.
I have gotten into biking the last few years, one of the GOAT sports. Going 45 mph hour down a road is where it's at. Also if you like wrenching there is always something to replace, improve, etc....

In general the people are on average more uppity and judgemental than you would find in other, more accessible sports. Hard to explain but if you go you'll def pick up on it. its like when you go to a baller level grocery store, the people just sort pf act different vs a budget grocery store. That's not to say that there arent some pleasant and friendly ppl there too, just that there's a higher concentration of snobs if you know what i mean
