You can't talk about having and normal life and mention skiing right away. Most people can't afford to go skiing
It's Switzerland, skiing is a normal sport, like swimming or bike riding. It's not something glamorous with champagne and caviar, it's what you do on the weekend with your buddies, going by train or carpooling and eating some sausage with French fries, or a packed sandwich.
Most people aren't a short drive from the resort. It's staying at the resort, renting equipment, eating out, and daily lift passes that's the biggest expenses for most people. For locals all you need is your own equipment and a $350 annual ticket and it's basically free after that apart for parking.
In addition, in the US most skiing is at "resorts" and you can only get there by car or bus. In Switzerland you hop on a tram, maybe take a train, get another tram, and then you're at the hill. You might not even need to pay for the tram because you have a monthly pass you use to get to work the other days.
Skiing in CH is like skating anywhere else.
In Switzerland they can.
