46. All the frozen tundra areas!

Thu Feb 26, 2026, 01:24 PM

Feb 26

I have cousins who grew up in NH and skiing was "the thing". One of them would go to Killington in VT every season. And that required the gear and lift tickets, etc.

If you live in those colder areas, you don't really need "indoor" rinks (and the cost to maintain them). You go to the nearest frozen ponds/lakes (or outdoor rinks set up for that purpose) and have at it!

Where I am and I expect where you are, equestrian riding and competing (and "dressage" ) is a "thing" and requires $$$$ just for the horse care, stables, saddles, and whatnot. It's a whole OTHER LEVEL of "rich" than ice hockey.
