Similar phenomenon has happened with Nordic (cross-country) skiing and backcountry skiing gear this winter. Sudden spike in interest, stores out of stock of equipment. I suspect most of this is purely aspirational, both those activities require large amounts of training & skill and access to particular conditions/terrain that most people don't have. But it's still interesting to watch.

Can't wait to pick up an aspirational splitboard for cheap in the spring!

I have several aspirational backcountry & telemark setups here now. They look very nice. But now I can't travel. Not even regionally, really. Province-wide lockdown. And all lift served skiing shutdown, too. Also no snow in local area, so can't even hit that.

2020 continues on sucking, right into 2021
