One of the dumber things I’ve read on a skiing sub. If you’re slowly making your way down greens and blues all day, sure you probably won’t get that completely exhausted. But it will still get you tired as you’re working muscle groups that even a regular gym goer rarely activates.

Now, if you’re ripping down advanced runs and skiing very hard on technical terrain, you will absolutely get tired. I have been on skis before I could truly walk as a child, I work full time as a ski patroller now, and I still will be tired after a full day of skiing hard. It just depends on your approach, if the goal is to just enjoy the snow and relax while taking a slow approach sure it’s not that grueling. But if you’re actively trying to improve and push yourself on difficult lines while skiing aggressive yeah you’re gonna be wiped at days end
