I think they learn that in grade school in Norway

I learned it in grade school in New Hampshire. Fridays were half days in winter and our PE was going to the mountain for the afternoon and getting skiing instruction. I was in a small poor town with no street lights, we were not rich. Equipment was subsidized for the kids who couldn't afford it. I do wonder if money to support it came from outside our community. There are a few winter Olympians that I graduated highschool with.

I never realized how privileged I was to have that experience until I was in college. I have probably gone to the mountains less than a dozen times since then. Too expensive, and I have better things to do with my time now.

I would not have guessed because Californians consider the east coast flat

That's just because the Appalachians are old and worn down. TBF there really aren't that many proper cliffs out that way. Here tourists fall off the damn things all the time.

I've lived in 49/50 states. California is where I came back to stay.
