[ IP ] Ski Pluto !

Not just anybody went to Pluto. 
 
 Inter-system travel was expensive, even between the rocky inner planets, so anybody who ever went past the Jupiter moons could be boiled down into two types. 
 
 Researchers, studying rock samples or orbital patterns, and the Rich. The Richest of the Rich. 
 
 Pluto in particular had a reputation for celebrity activity, being the most remote and therefore the pinnacle of far-away appeal. It took years to get there, and it took just as long to get back, so guests stayed for multiple years at a stretch. Pluto estates were worth big money, beyond billionaire money. 
 
 Even moving supplies to and from Pluto took a ridiculous amount of effort, especially when catering to the... particular crowd that inhabit the planet. Ships carrying passengers just as often carried fine Martian wine, exquisite jewelry and Venusian dresses, alongside oxygen supplies and basic nutritional supplements, and even compliments of servants expected to work on the estate for the duration of the stay. 
 
 Of course, it was wasteful to keep these estates constantly staffed. Instead, the decadent palaces were often mothballed in the years between visits, vast empty halls and ballrooms drained of air and left sterile. It was n't uncommon to send a ship carrying service androids a few months ahead of the guests to `` prepare'' the estate. 
 
 Inevitably, there were some eccentric men and women who wished to ski on the surface. But skiing on Pluto was n't easy – the planet's unique gravity and temperature requires specialty-made suits for the task, with weighted shoes and insulation to protect against the biting cold. Of course, given the type of people who would ever have the opportunity to ski on Pluto, the price of a fancy spacesuit was no barrier to entry.
