Fair warning: topics like "well we could use our wealth and influence to strategically increase forest cover across southern Australia toward pre colonisation levels in order to increase likelihood of mountain precipitation"

or

"hey vote to end fossil fuel subsidies"

...will *definitely* shut down the chat.

It'll be OK on the skin track right up to "hey why are you digging a hole where's your poo bag?"

Anyway what can we do to ski less extractively in Australia?

Start by being less entitled about it. Understanding where skiing and ski resorts sit in physical landscapes and cultural contexts. Undeestand that the culture of commercial skiing in Australia is a micro bubble in a micro bubble.

...hopefully obvious things will follow.

"go backcountry". yes and NO. if yes, pack your poop out and leave the instagram at home!
