>Skiing and snowboarding takes so much time and so much money, and involves so much bullshit.
I had this brought home hard last winter, first time on snow in a decade. I was pleased with the muscle memory, had a few good turns, and was left mildly aghast at the money and infrastructure involved in a day playing on the hill.
>At best, it is tough to beat the feeling of a good turn through nice snow on a beautiful mountain. The flip side is the pit of despair...
Agree, a good powder turn is a feeling I've never beaten on the bike, but on average the bike wins. Accessibility, cost, variation... I'm sticking with wheels.
