Realistically. How do we get poor people into practicing ski?
fuck skiingfuck snowthere should be a system of autonomous electrified trains that take you up and down hollers that are free and have a big donation box and could be sponsored by companies or people too.
>>2863310Why the fuck would you ever do thatPoor people are awful. You really want shit and beer bottles all over the slope? You want to spend 3 hours waiting behind their broke down shitboxes on the road up and down? You want your gear stolen while youre having lunch? Fucking rub two brain cells together and have a thought, dipshit.
>>2863313i think if people had cool stuff to do they would be less likely to turn to drink and drugs, and less compulsively somaybe there should be better trash pickup or even roaming mechanics to help the poorsociety just blames the poor for their own misfortune, we are a cold and callous society
>>2863313Idk where you live but this is already every ski resort in California.
>>2863318Fuck the poor and fuck youPoor people should get a free bullet to the head and a free mass grave and no other kind of charity
>>2863313My local resort has a specific run where they do time trials and shit like hydroplaning across a puddle at the bottom.Theres a garbage can in a little fenced in area under the lift about halfway up to bomb your beer cans into.
>>2863320Start with yourself, die by your own hand
>>2863394Lmao. What do you think you accomplished with this pitiful little shitpost? Who do you think you are convincing of anything? Am I going to respect losers now? No. Am I going to kill myself? Lol. No. Impotent, pathetic, childish. Thats all you are. And probably a broke fucking loser to boot.
>>2863395>>2863394get a room
>>2863310im open to it if it's an excellent way to traverse snow or something then again you'd need favorable terrain like you couldn't ski trekking through those peaks up there
Simple answer is, you don't.In the nearest city the council prepares tracks just outside the populated areas. The Red Cross has free equipment rental, and I've seen the stuff they have. It's not tip top Gucci, but perfectly serviceable consumer grade stuff.You can go there and check out a pair of ski shoes, poles and a pair of skis, walk for fifteen minutes, pop your skis on, and ski for as long or as short as you wish. You follow the tracks to their terminus, you wind up at a cabin where you can book a bed for a very reasonable fee, and next day you can make your own tracks in hopefully virgin snow. Or you can hop on a bus for 45 minutes and ski into a beautiful national park. Or the train for two hours and hop off on the middle of a mountain area and ski for as long as you wish in whatever direction you please. But poors just don't.For downhill skiing, poors can get a free card that covers a number of uses for sporting activities. The gym, the rock climbing centre, membership fees to sports clubs, or the ski centre. There's a bus that goes to the centre for those who don't have a car. Again, poors would rather stay /in/.
>>2863441Sounds like something Sweden or Austria would do.Great concept but wasted because people who are poor are poor because theyre lazy, not because of lack of opportunity
>>2863310Lots of resorts only check passes on the base-area lifts. I always figured you could hike your shit up to a mid-mountain lift and just ride that all day. if i cared enough about skiing to ever go alone, I'd try this.That, or learn backcountry and get a friend to figure out a car-shuttleable backcountry route you can do over and over.>>2863441Council? Red Cross? Where the fuck are you skiing, the Swat Valley?
>>2863445Car shuttle only works if you have 3 or more people or someome has a gf that just wants to sit in the car and watch TikTok. Dropping off one person in the middle of nowhere and skiing alone is a bad idea.
>>2863444Norway, but yes.I live in a fairly small village, and some of the people living here are (relatively) poor from unlucky circumstances. Mostly their lowlife parents ruining their shit at every turn, but they've been given opportunities to make it out of the shit, and they're making it in their own way.>>2863445>CouncilProbably my English being less than good. The city? Town hall? Anyway, they pay to get the tracks prepared like in pic related: Two tracks for classic skiing, space in the middle is for the people who use the skating technique, there's a big fuss every year because people walk in the tracks or dogs shit there, or people are braking in the skating areas.>Red CrossThe national arm of the Red Cross does a lot of neat stuff, it's not all handing out space blankets, water and nutraloaf in refugee camps in terrible countries:>Secondhand stores>Sports equipment rental>Children's free summer camp>Help phone lines>Youth meeting spots with free activities, help with homework, et c.>Visiting the lonely and elderly, sometimes with therapeutic dogs>Integration work with refugees>Visiting crooks in and after jail>Search and rescue corps that also helps out during big events
>>2863453Technical competence to match the English, lol. Here's the picture.
>>2863453I was actually going to say Sweden or Norway at first but then felt like I was being closed.minded and needed to spread around the socialism....And "council" in context from a Brit refers to "Government owned/controlled/funded". Its their main source of welfare. They have government owned apartments for The Poors they just call "Council Flats".
