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!!!!

Yeah, I disliked it because it felt crowded and I felt pressured into it by my family, but I grew up in an area much closer than two hours and there was never a significant class element to it as far as I could tell. Kids who didn't have their own equipment, like me, would just borrow. Maybe as an adult there's more complicated stuff that you need specific gear for but I couldn't tell back then.

Adult sporting equipment in general is hard to find because if you're an adult who plays a sport you probably really like it and use the equipment until it's busted. Kids grow out of stuff, or lose interest.

I can't find adult ice skates in thrift stores ever. I've been on the hunt for a while, might have to just bite the bullet and spend $150 CAD on a new pair.

Only exception is golf gear because rich guys like buying new equipment.
