Skiing is incredibly fun but I wonder if it should be put in the same category as cycling (on roads): too dangerous to be sane.

There’s a large spectrum between skiing on an uncrowded slope alone, a crowded beginner trail, hucking cliffs and backcountry in avy prone terrain.

I don’t think the risk profile can be all lumped together.

Much in the same way that cycling on the road has a different risk profile to on a bike path vs downhill or freeride mountain biking.

Cycling on roads could be safer, but in the US at least, we're numb to car-caused deaths.

It seems many fun things are dangerous :)
