    If spending a few hundred bucks sounds like a big deal to you then maybe skiing (or pretty much any hobby) just isn’t for you. This is a luxury activity after all.

    Like any hobby it takes time, money, gear, and sometimes even training if you want to succeed.

    As for injuries, anything is possible when participating in a physical sport. However most injuries are going to come from doing reckless shit. Start slow on easy hills and work your way up. Experience is what keeps you safe. There’s no reason to get injured unless you’re not using good judgment.

      No, there are plenty hobbies that do not cost much or any money at all. People nowadays just tend to not see those as real hobbies because a real hobby has to be about always having the best and newest stuff and being instagrammable. Thats what advertisement does.

        Right, it’s a luxury activity. Of course it’s going to be expensive. Just like speed boat racing.

        It’s not a hobby for people that can’t afford it. That’s life tho my man.
