Why is skiing done in some areas and not others?

Skiing is primarily done in areas with suitable climate and topography, specifically where there is consistent snowfall and mountainous terrain. Regions with cold winters, such as the Alps, Rockies, and certain parts of Scandinavia, provide ideal conditions for skiing. Conversely, areas with warmer climates or flat landscapes lack the necessary snow and elevation, making skiing impractical or impossible. Additionally, infrastructure such as ski lifts and accommodations also influences the popularity of skiing in certain regions.
