Dan-ManIt just bums me out how un motivated todays youth are, and how unwilling they are to learn.
Fucking boomer.
Its not a youth unmotivated/unwilling thing, its a steep cost just to get to a ski area let alone a full setup, clothing, tickets, lessons.
Skiing/snowboarding is a pretty expensive sport if you don't have parents to help pay for anything.
I'm working at a resort mountain town restaurant with a 17 year old kid who has been working the max hour allowed since last summer. When I asked him what he likes more skiing or snowboarding he likes skiing. But since he and his brothers can't get youth rates anymore his parents don't have the money to spare to get them on the hill.
My boss has been telling him he'd lend the commerce partner pass and some gear but his family only has two cars and both parents work.
This kid is busting his ass in a busy (for Covid year) restaurant to be able to buy his own vehicle. He knows he can go into the mountains and play whenever he wants with a vehicle all summer long vs getting a ski season in with school.
It pisses me off when people think "youth" is unmotivated. Go to any casino if you want to see unmotivated, unwilling people. Newsflash: its not the youth. Its boomers.
