It's ironic, I used to live in a mountainous region and had a season pass so a day of skiing would set me back less than 30 bucks, but if I ever wanted to swim in the ocean, something that's basically free for many people, I'd have to pay easily more than the person in this post
Who charges you to use the ocean?
The ocean is free, getting there or staying there, not so much.
But same thing goes for a lot of mountains. The lift company only owns the lift, but if you wanna hike up the slope and then ski it back down your free to do so. There are even special furs that you clamp to the underside of your skies to not slide back down
Many ski resorts are built on private land and you skinning uphill is against the rules and will get you kicked out and/or banned because it creates a safety hazard for other skiers. Even if the resort is on public land you'll get the boot for being unsafe.
Lots of mountains on public land without resorts you can do that on though.
