I'd say the outrage is caused by the symbolism. Alpine skiing is an activity that in the long run is on the way out due to climate change. As a result of a warming-induced deterioration of conditions we are burning more fossil fuels to support the industry that we're extinguishing with said fossil fuels. The fact that it's an activity heavily associated with affluence aids the rage-bait.
