Do you know what I hate about white people? Skiing. Its basically winter golf. (hexbear.net)

Why yes let’s deforest the side of a mountain so we can run down it and possibly hit trees at fatal speeds. Im fucking glad climate change is making this bougie bullshit harder to do. I went skiing once, horrible experience. Everyone in the skiing lodge was a rich white asshole and it felt like I walked into a country club, no a hitler youth recreation club. If you own a timeshare let alone an entire house at a ski resort you deserve the fucking wall!!!!

fuck it I will go to the mat for skiing. not those monstrous resorts but cross-country skiing and also backcountry skiing are both fun, except for the avalanches that kill at least one of your friends every year.

I do like the sound of dead skiers.

you literally cannot walk around where i live because of snow from november to late april but the city bike paths all get groomed for nordic skiing so its an actually a very viable way to get around

Does anyone around you use kicksleds? Remember them being all over when I was a child but haven't seen one in years.

there's a store here that's making an effort to build a kicksled community, I've seen people using them on frozen lakes a bit as an alternative to skating but people on the trails are usually on skis or fat bikes.
