A new survey of 900 people by online ski travel agency Heidi has revealed that 73% of people feel most ‘free’ when in the mountains – specifically, when skiing or snowboarding down them.
“Does swishing down the mountain on your skis or snowboard give you a feeling of freedom like nothing else? Well, you’re not alone.” A Heidi spokesperson commented, adding, “Heidi was created to help more people enjoy that feeling of freedom.”
When asked to select which activity gave them the greatest sense of freedom, 73% of participants surveyed by Heidi chose ‘skiing (or snowboarding) in the mountains’, followed by 10% opting for ‘hiking in the mountains’, 8% picking ‘swimming in the sea’, 5% ‘walking through a forest’, and, lastly, 3% ‘doing yoga’.
