Why yes let’s deforest the side of a mountain so we can run down it and possibly hit trees at fatal speeds. Im fucking glad climate change is making this bougie bullshit harder to do. I went skiing once, horrible experience. Everyone in the skiing lodge was a rich white asshole and it felt like I walked into a country club, no a hitler youth recreation club. If you own a timeshare let alone an entire house at a ski resort you deserve the fucking wall!!!!

as a white who has never lived anywhere that snows or has elevation, skiing has always seemed like a silly way to do terrible damage to your knees

Look on the brightside, at least you’ll get skin cancer.

Easier to draw/animate, perhaps?

That one Bond movie has a really iconic action sequence with it and it was used to good effect for gags in Loony Toons, so I think it's mainly imitating those though idk

going fast is fun and inherently cool, and anything that increases the chance of rich white people dying is also good for society overall. it's a win-win-win for everyone involved.

"I used to be able to afford skiing when my parents paid for it but now I can't" lmao sorry you lost the financial backing of your middle to upper class parents, can't relate to any of that. No I'm not salty what are you talking about?

I downhill skiid as a kid a kid and thought it was kinda fun, and there was a slope in my home town. But i still agree with you, though I like cross-country skiing. Also, the names of the downhill disciplines make no sense. We have Slalom, Giant Slalom (?), Super-G (??), and Downhill (what should the other ones be called then???).
