In England we hardly have any skiing. The reason is very simple: we hardly have any mountains ― and not much snow. So we think of skiing as an aristocratic sport. It is for those who are rich enough to go to Switzerland for the winter. When I came to Japan, however, I was so surprised to find almost all my students planning to go skiing during the winter holidays. They didn't have to go all the way to Switzerland, of course. Here, almost on their front doorstep, they had the Japanese Alps; and these Alps were covered with snow almost all winter.
