Skiing wasn't something I was jealous of, but it made young me cognizant of how much less money my parents had than most of my friends'. I never learned to ski; I tried precisely once, when I was 21. People can't reconcile it when I tell them I was born here and my family had been here >100 years. "You're the most Calgarian Calgarian I know, and you DON'T ski?!"
Nope! I don't golf either, never enjoyed it!
I don't know how much I really missed out on; I suppose I'm "paying for it" as an adult, as lots of friends go skiing in the winter and I obviously don't get included.
