[quote=Anonymous]OP, I lived in =Czech Republic for a number of years, and learned to really enjoy skiing there. EVERYONE skied: poor people, middle class people, everyone. Schools closed for "ski week" each winter because this was just something families did together. And the ski resorts were no expensive, either. I'm generally an indoors type of person. I like reading, warmth, comfort. But I really did like the skiing. The way it was so clean and still as I looked down while going up the lift or standing at the top of a slope, so that I could actually hear snow falling from tree branches, and the wind. And no, you can't talk to people while you are skiing, but that was part of the appeal, too. You are entirely alone, but wholly inside your own head. At the end of the day, you are so deliciously tired and can see and hear snow when you close your eyes. I did hate skiing while growing up. [/quote]
