fuck skiing
fuck snow
there should be a system of autonomous electrified trains that take you up and down hollers that are free and have a big donation box and could be sponsored by companies or people too.

Why the fuck would you ever do that
Poor people are awful. You really want shit and beer bottles all over the slope? You want to spend 3 hours waiting behind their broke down shitboxes on the road up and down? You want your gear stolen while youre having lunch?

Fucking rub two brain cells together and have a thought, dipshit.

Idk where you live but this is already every ski resort in California.

>>2863313
My local resort has a specific run where they do time trials and shit like hydroplaning across a puddle at the bottom.

Theres a garbage can in a little fenced in area under the lift about halfway up to bomb your beer cans into.

im open to it if it's an excellent way to traverse snow or something then again you'd need favorable terrain like you couldn't ski trekking through those peaks up there

Simple answer is, you don't.
In the nearest city the council prepares tracks just outside the populated areas. The Red Cross has free equipment rental, and I've seen the stuff they have. It's not tip top Gucci, but perfectly serviceable consumer grade stuff.
You can go there and check out a pair of ski shoes, poles and a pair of skis, walk for fifteen minutes, pop your skis on, and ski for as long or as short as you wish. You follow the tracks to their terminus, you wind up at a cabin where you can book a bed for a very reasonable fee, and next day you can make your own tracks in hopefully virgin snow. Or you can hop on a bus for 45 minutes and ski into a beautiful national park. Or the train for two hours and hop off on the middle of a mountain area and ski for as long as you wish in whatever direction you please.
But poors just don't.
For downhill skiing, poors can get a free card that covers a number of uses for sporting activities. The gym, the rock climbing centre, membership fees to sports clubs, or the ski centre. There's a bus that goes to the centre for those who don't have a car. Again, poors would rather stay /in/.

Sounds like something Sweden or Austria would do.
Great concept but wasted because people who are poor are poor because theyre lazy, not because of lack of opportunity

>>2863310
Lots of resorts only check passes on the base-area lifts. I always figured you could hike your shit up to a mid-mountain lift and just ride that all day. if i cared enough about skiing to ever go alone, I'd try this.
That, or learn backcountry and get a friend to figure out a car-shuttleable backcountry route you can do over and over.

>>2863441
Council? Red Cross? Where the fuck are you skiing, the Swat Valley?

>>2863445
Car shuttle only works if you have 3 or more people or someome has a gf that just wants to sit in the car and watch TikTok.
Dropping off one person in the middle of nowhere and skiing alone is a bad idea.

>>2863444
Norway, but yes.
I live in a fairly small village, and some of the people living here are (relatively) poor from unlucky circumstances. Mostly their lowlife parents ruining their shit at every turn, but they've been given opportunities to make it out of the shit, and they're making it in their own way.

>>2863445
>Council
Probably my English being less than good. The city? Town hall? Anyway, they pay to get the tracks prepared like in pic related: Two tracks for classic skiing, space in the middle is for the people who use the skating technique, there's a big fuss every year because people walk in the tracks or dogs shit there, or people are braking in the skating areas.
>Red Cross
The national arm of the Red Cross does a lot of neat stuff, it's not all handing out space blankets, water and nutraloaf in refugee camps in terrible countries:
>Secondhand stores
>Sports equipment rental
>Children's free summer camp
>Help phone lines
>Youth meeting spots with free activities, help with homework, et c.
>Visiting the lonely and elderly, sometimes with therapeutic dogs
>Integration work with refugees
>Visiting crooks in and after jail
>Search and rescue corps that also helps out during big events

Technical competence to match the English, lol. Here's the picture.

>>2863453
I was actually going to say Sweden or Norway at first but then felt like I was being closed.minded and needed to spread around the socialism....

And "council" in context from a Brit refers to "Government owned/controlled/funded". Its their main source of welfare. They have government owned apartments for The Poors they just call "Council Flats".

>business idea
>poor people
op is gay and retarded and probably poor

>>2863313
because if something is yet to be shitted, it's an untapped market and that means money. you can charge premiums for rich people once it's enshittified enough

>>2865454
It's not a bad idea, honestly.
Your business is allegedly to make skiing more accessible to poors.
You get money from clueless well-meaning officials in the government.
You get your buddy, who runs a ski resort, to enter an agreement, at inflated cost, to let poors on the slopes.
You draw wages from your project, plus kickbacks from your ski resort friend.
The government gets to beat its chest and say they're decolonialising the outdoors or whatever and make it seem like they give a shit by throwing a relatively small amount of money at a problem, which, in the short term, is more important than fixing the problem.
If a handful of poors actually decide to use the resort, they get an affordable day on the slopes.
If the project gets approved for following year's, you've got a goldmine. It's always easier to keep pouring money at a problem than risking the fallout from the incensed public when you have to cut funding to it.
If it doesn't get approved for more funding, you need to come up with a new hustle, but now you have a completed "successful" project to show future suckers.

Thats not a business, thats just a scam

>>2865530
All businesses are scams.

Very bad idea. Part of the appeal of skiing is that you don't have to interact with poor people (or non-whites) and your expensive skis/snowboard and other equipment can be left out in the open and nobody would ever steal it.

It's one of the last high trust activities we have. In fact, it might be the only one. It used to be that everything was like this, you could leave your door unlocked, your car unlocked, bike in the street. Do you want metal bars on everything?

>>2863310
You don't do that.
The poors go to the beach. The rich go to the mountains.
It's not going to change.

>>2863310
Make it less expensive?
