There’s a difference if cultures but it’s charming seeing so many mainland Chinese get into skiing and snowboarding recently. It’s invigorating stuff tho I fit in more with the old school Tahoe crowd. I started snowboarding late in life too (30s) 🏂❤️

In addition to saving lives, walkable communities put money in the pockets of Americans who spend less on cars and more at local businesses. Safe walkable communities mean that families can get by with fewer cars or buy them less frequently saving tens of thousands of dollars.
