I think this very much is a personal perspective thing. Skiing is only increasing in popularity. Many ski resorts recording record high visitation this year. https://coloradosun.com/2023/05/29/national-ski-areas-record...

Golf has surged in popularity after covid, 20 year high rates of growth in every demographic.

> Who golfs? Who has downhill skis?

I imagine you could answer that question by going to a golf course or ski slope to see who's there.

Colorado resident, here. I'd say 95% of people I know do one or the other. Probably 50% of people I know do both.

Bought season passes for me and 3 of my kids this year, we’ll ski as much as possible. Have multiple pairs of skis myself. Resorts are always busy and 50/50 ski/snowboard.

Figuratively everyone skis in Seattle. Like, you need to reserve parking or get shuttled at Crystal these days it’s so busy.
