[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand it either. It's definitely an aspirational sport. People who do it either are rich or want to appear so. My husband grew up skiing and likes it so he made sure our two kids learned to ski. One likes it as much as DH does and the other one hangs out on the greens with me. If I never ski again its totally fine with me. I've mostly just put up with it to appease DH. [/quote]

No, not all people who ski want to appear rich.  Maybe the ones who will only go to resorts that famous people go to are trying to be something they aren’t.  A lot of people who enjoy skiing are ones that grew up close enough to easily get to the mountain (hill).    Day skiing is popular.   No resort just a place to ski for the day.  Schools in cold places offer ski programs. Snowboarding is big in high schools.

I hate the cold but noticed if you’re dressed correctly it’s not really cold except on the lift.  It’s also easy to learn.    You start off small, look ridiculous and soon enough you’re up the mountain and enjoying it.  That’s my experience anyway. [/quote]
