This may just be me, but seriously, there seems to be a lack of black skiiers at my mountain. I'm not trying to sound racist but its something that I think every time I hit the slopes.

skiing is a predominately white sport because of demogrpahics and average income brackets.

Not racist. Its just a race related topic. Def has something to do with no family history of skiing. My parents have never been and they barely get it. I had friends in middle school show me the way.

Because skiing is expensive, and black people in general have lower socio-economic status.

Why the hell would you noticing that not a lot of black people ski be racist? Do you know what "racist" means?

No.. I reread what I wrote and it sounds that way lol.. just meant I came from New York City parents who did not know anything about skiing and if it was not for friends I would of never tried skiing. Skiing has not been apart of the black community. Not necessarily a money issue. There are well off black people who still don't ski.

just like hockey: why are there so few "african americans" playing hockey?
I don't know, but for the few that do, they generally KILL it.

I've yet to come across a black skier in my 20 years of conquering the Alps.

Hell, even Asians are a rare occurrence there.

They're afraid the ice will break and they will have to swim underneath.

Black people don't enjoy snow. But when they do ski they kill it.

Honest answer-

On average, skiers have a greater annual income than the average American with 92.9% of skiers making in excess of $50,000/yr and 46.1% making in excess of $100,000/yr



vs



Black Median Household income: $33,460
