[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its easy and free in the old country. It's like going for a walk in winter wonderland, but moving much faster plus the exercise.
The skis and equipment is 100 times better than when I was growing up.
Anyone can make circles in their small village or find trails. Nobody pays for it or travels to trails unless they want mountains.
Same with iceskating as man made rinks, ponds, rivers and lakes are everywhere.The roads are one big icefield.
Golf? Come on. I would have to look for it, drive there and pay.[/quote]

This is how I feel about horseback riding. Where I grew up, it was convenient and cheap/free. People had backyard horses. It didn't have to be a big deal. Where we live now (DMV) it's not practical because of the travel time and cost.

Also, when I got older I quit riding because I started to focus on the danger. I've never liked skiing (I hate the cold) but I think it's pretty normal to enjoy a rush when you're young and resilient, and then decide as you age that it isn't worth the broken bones. [/quote]
