500 for an all winter pass. It's not that expensive if you plan. https://t.co/1N1n3WVECz

Skiing
is definitely affordable. Season 
pass, go with 3+ friends, own your own gear, fly non peak weekends.

There's so much used gear from upper middle class people who bought it and went once.
And I'm pretty sure like 80% of the US population doesn't even have to fly and lives within a couple hours of something.
The whole thread is full of r-slurs literally from Brazil saying it's too expensive for them so he shouldn't talk about it.

How much of the US do you think
lives 
in Texas, Socal, and Florida? Bc that alone 
makes your percent 
off.

Even Texas, you could drive to Colorado in a day if you really wanted to ski

unless you're in Amarillo that is a long enough drive that you'd save money and time flying instead

Yeah but if you're too poor to even save money and time on a flight you could drive there in a day

All of Southern California is no more than 2 hours from decently shitty skiing.

Shitty skiing makes you good. Rockies skiers are soft and collapse into a puddle of nerves if they encounter any slop or slush, PNWChads can go bang out 50k/day riding over pine needles and open creekbeds, Northeast Gods will treat a frozen gully filled with 6" of refrozen crust, rocks and roots as a slalom course and embarrass everyone

I did a course last year in April where half of it had melted completely down to the mud but it wasn't clear until you were past the point of no return.
I was basically boarding on patches of snow like a foot wide all the way down ready to bury the nose in the mud and kill myself.
Anyways it was a blast

The type of poor seething on Twitter wouldn't be caught dead in second hand gear unless it was ironic thrifting. Someone too r-slurred to save a couple hundred dollars a year for a vacation pays full price for new products, subscribes to every streaming service, and spends a fortune on weed (totally not addicted tho). Sure, maybe they won't get the new iPhone 15 Pro, but they're definitely going to shell out $700+ on the regular model next month.

Middle class/poor discourse mirrors old money new money discourse where the latter always is too proud to take hand me downs and the former thrifts for fun.
Like a billionaire driving a Toyota in cargo shorts while some Chinese dude in all branded clothing goes broke on a Lambo.

lol bruh saying its expensive isn't the same as saying you can't afford it.
Besides if you were really rich you'd skip the lifts and go heli-skiing.

You know I still think its just a giant cope. Because usualy poor = fat. So when confronted with physical activity they just use their daily doordash habits as an excuse to lament people who suggest doing something that might burn a little off from their fat gut.
