    no joke I had a friend as a teen (who is now also an ex, but is still a good friend) who found it weird that some of the people in our friend group had never been snowboarding.

    we lived somewhere that rarely “snowed” (we’d get ice every year for a week or two, but never all that much. Ice and snow are different things, i didn’t see real snow until the snow storm of 2021) so you’d have to travel somewhere that had snow if you wanted to do winter sports… which meant having hundreds of dollars to be able to fly to one of those places, rent a hotel, etc. I didn’t realize until I was an adult and radicalized that this was an example of class-related culture shock.
