> skiing is partially a signaling game, I don’t think the signaling is a bad thing, and skiing itself is certainly a good thing.

Also, there is currently an anti-Vail thing going on. So you can do your signaling about skiing, and also do your anti-corporate signaling at the same time!

> I have never heard someone propose a long trip to an especially nice go-kart facility. (Maybe this happens in Germany).

Even better, the Nürburgring allows you to drive your own car around the track at whatever speed you are capable of driving (some people exceed this speed). It makes sense, right? It was too dangerous to continue holding Formula 1 races, why not allow the general public a go? What could possibly go wrong?

Must be selection bias or something. I think I might have heard people talk about going skiing once or twice in my whole life.
There arent a lot of great winter activities. Skiing is one that many people do and love. In the summer there are way more options like biking, surfing, climbing, hiking so people divide out by interest groups but mainstream winter activities are limited.
