Just wondering, how much money have you guys spent on skiing this year. I just wanted to see how much people spend. So far I've spent $300 this year on boots, but at a crazy discount.

Every year I go into it thinking, "Okay, here's what I need for this season, it'll all come to under 500$."

This year I needed bindings and some outerwear. Under $500.

I have spent, so far... $1700. 650 on outerwear, 300 on skis, 100 on bindings, 650 on passes. But I guess that includes passes And my 500 didn't... still.

Strangely enough, I don't think I made $1700 this entire summer put together, and what I did make I spent on school. Where the fuck did I get 1700 for ski equipment? Seriously, I don't even know, I must be robbing banks in my sleep. I don't think I've ever had more than $350 in disposable cash at any given time. Good thing I'm selling so much stuff. Someone buy my 40k/20k insulated goretex jacket!

word, i got some garmont adrenalin boots which go for $500-600 in stores for $275. my neighbor co-founded the company or something so i got a deal. plus i woked in the warehouse for a few days. i love the boots too...3 piece, adjutable canting like most boots have, adjustable soles between alpine touring and regular alpine soles, touring buckles for hiking, walk+ski mode, fully molded with custom footbeds. god i love them. and the lightness of them.
