> Due to the high prices of ski resort tickets and bad snow conditions many (like myself) started to pick it up. If anything, ski touring is often more expensive (gear wise, might save on the ski pass if not starting from the top of a lift). It also has a bigger dependency on snow quality if one want a fun ski experience and isn't mainly in it for the touring part.

That does not have to be true. You can get a decent set for 500-600 EUR. And if you use ghost slopes of ski resorts you are actually not that depended on snow like alpine skiers. In my area many ski lifts are not open for business because the slopes are not in perfect shape but that does not stop any ski tourers to go there and enjoy the just decent conditions which are perfectly fine for one or two runs.
