[quote=Anonymous]We had a family visit us in park city from dmv. They were only here for a few days and their kids waved off offers of sunscreen because they wanted a raccoon tan to show off at home. And their parents, who are the life 360, no processed food types, were fine with it. I think skiing occupies a unique place for some families in that it represents wealth, privilege, and access to a certain lifestyle. I learned how to ski as an adult, and I always viewed skiing as a sport for really rich people. Now that I live in park city, I still consider it a sport for rich people, but some of the glamour is gone because it’s so accessible to me now.

Just from personal observations, there are many families who spend tens of thousands of dollars on vacation here while one or even both parents do not ski. I’m often meeting out of town friends for lunch or the spa because they don’t ski. But they want their kids to learn how to ski. I think that’s not as common with other activities. [/quote]
