Why are Ski Resorts so liberal?

[Crumpets]

One is that skiing tends to be (although not 100%) a young person's sport, and young people skew democrat.

From a 100% subjective personal anecdote standpoint, I also tend to think of skiing as a very culturally secular sport; I am an avid skier who has known many other skiers, and I don't know if I've ever met a religious person who skis in the US. And granted, I didn't grow up in a very religious area, but skiers I think also tend to be very... idk if "granola" is the right word. But if they have a place in their heart for some sort of higher power, it has (again, going only by my own personal experience) usually taken the form of some sort of "mother nature"/"appreciation for the awesome grandeur of the Earth" flavor to it.

And just to be extremely clear, I'm sure there are many people of all sorts of religious faiths who ski. It's just a trend I've noticed with a fairly decent sample size of specifically Washington State skiers.
