Realistically. How do we get poor people into practicing ski?
>>
fuck skiing
fuck snow
there 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.

Why the fuck would you ever do that
Poor 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.

i think if people had cool stuff to do they would be less likely to turn to drink and drugs, and less compulsively so

maybe there should be better trash pickup or even roaming mechanics to help the poor
society just blames the poor for their own misfortune, we are a cold and callous society

Idk where you live but this is already every ski resort in California.

>>2863318
Fuck the poor and fuck you
Poor people should get a free bullet to the head and a free mass grave and no other kind of charity

My 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.

Start with yourself, die by your own hand

Lmao. 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.

im 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/.

Sounds 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
>>
>>2863310
Lots 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.

Council? Red Cross? Where the fuck are you skiing, the Swat Valley?
