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.

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.
