So next year I am off to college, this means i'm gonna be poor so I may not be able to afford to ski as much. My Dad told me I should remember skiing is a luxury not a necessity.

So what do you think?

Is Skiing a Luxury or Necessity?

Damn how did you get into college with such a immature and spoiled outlook on life?

Although he is a saying it in a pretty harsh way, he really is correct. If you can survive without it, it's a luxury.

you are saying you would literally die without skiing? i doubt it. it is a luxury. a car is a luxury, a cell phone is a luxury. mostly anything that you purchase to make your life better or more enjoyable is a luxury.

no i know the answer. for me it is luxury. I just wanted to know what you guys thought because when my dad said that I thought about a Salomon FSTV where they followed a ski bum that pretty much gave up everything to ski.

The obvious answer is luxury because skiing isnt food water or shelter. But I wanted to know how much it meant to you and at what point would skiing not be an option for you.

It is a luxury because it adds value to your life. While I would be sad if I could never do it again, I could move on
