How do you pay for ski involved stuff. Do your parents pay for some of it, what job you work for the money or who youre sponsered by. For me it's washing dishes at a restaurant by my house.

Ahahahha. That's awesome.
My parents paid this last year. I'm paying this current year, though they'll help out (probably split the price of new skis with me, or something).

Ski Instructing = pass at local hill/ski alone
Other job covers when I ski alone + gear
Ski with family and give them lessons = free lift ticket.

To be honest with you, last year i have no idea how i payed for everything. Only thing i didnt buy fully were my skis, i paid $250 for them and my parents paid $250. But i paid for jacket, pants, bindings, goggles, boots, hats, gloves, and helmet. This year i have a job and only need bindings and skis, i just bouhgt bindings, and am gonna get the skis for christmas.

ski instructing = instructor deals on gear
sponsor = season pass and other gear
work = food/gas money/other stuff
dad's sponsor = more gear
