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!!!
My parents are skiing right now 😆 🔫
The unbearable whiteness of skiing
as a white who has never lived anywhere that snows or has elevation, skiing has always seemed like a silly way to do terrible damage to your knees
Not to mention in most cases the town or county or state for all intents and purposes sells the land of the mountain to a private corpo to sell ski passes to you as if a fucking mountain is not a public good.
And bonus info on Protect the Peaks as Klee Benally just died, sometimes white people steal mountains that are sacred to local tribes and destroy them with skiing, massive tree clearing, etc.
Aw fuck F :’(
Kind of veering off topic but the whole way we view nature preservation is kind of fucked. Like why are we making a place like yellowstone accessible? There shouldn’t be any tourist infrastructure, people shouldn’t be going there, expect for the indigenous people who actually own the land, most wilderness should be closed off to the public.
Aunt Lu and Uncle Chan jumping the whiteness barrier while Aunt Tia and Uncle Tio are arguing with the whiteness police demanding to be let in. 200 miles away in the city Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima is working because Black people will never be allowed to jump the whiteness barrier.
