While I accept that Emma Loffhagen may have tried skiing once and hated it, I disagree with most of her conclusions regarding this activity (The hill I will die on: People who ski have more money than sense, 7 March).
In the past it was certainly a sport exclusive to the wealthy, but today it is enjoyed by people at all economic levels. It is possible to rent boots, skis, helmets and clothing that is specially designed for cold weather. Holiday packages and lessons are also available.
