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

Skiing is like road cycling. The amount you have to spend on equipment before you can even start skiing is a lot. This keeps out the poors. I guess you can rent stuff though.
Never met a peakpoor road cyclist, all of them are at least middle class. I guess the same goes for Skiiers.

Road cycles are hard to find secondhand because it's enthusiast gear.
Budget skis exist and most middle class families own a set.
Poors love to Google retail prices though when they're making excuses. Somehow they're pickier than most professionals I know

You can ride a normal bike, more expensive ones are marginally faster but if you're not racing it literally doesn't matter.

You can get an old bike for $50 or for free. It only gets expensive if you want Gucci
gear
