To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the context of the statement from Lian Dolan in "Carrying Your Own Skis." The phrase "skiing was work" suggests that there was some level of effort or labor involved in skiing.
Option A states that skiing was not enjoyable, which is not supported by the given statement. Lian Dolan does not imply that skiing was not enjoyable, but rather that it required work. Therefore, we can eliminate option A.
Option B suggests that skiers did not have the conveniences they have now. While this could be a contributing factor, it does not address the idea that skiing itself was work. Therefore, option B is incorrect.
Option C suggests that skiing was expensive and required hard work to afford it. While this is a possibility, the given statement does not explicitly discuss the cost of skiing. So, option C should be dismissed.
Option D suggests that many young people had jobs working in ski lodges and on ski slopes. Although this option seems plausible, there is no direct connection between the statement and young people working in the ski industry. Therefore, option D is also not the correct answer.
Based on the analysis, option B can be eliminated, and options A, C, and D are not directly supported by the given statement. This leaves us with option C as the most reasonable choice.
