Where are all these places where season passes are sub $400, that's insane.

Transatlantic flight, 6 months rent, insurance just to start, about £2000. then skis, boots and outerwear £500.

So £2500 or about $5000 and that's if i get a job that gives me my season pass, add another $1600 if not...

So, no bindings or poles? That's way cool.. must be the British style :P haha jokes.

Skis, Boots & Outerwear, $1000? Well, if you want performance boots & skis, then you're gonna end up spending a lot more than that... I assume you're coming over to instruct??

I live in British Columbia. If I was 18 and had money, the first thing I'd buy is a helicopter and a pilot. The amount of skiing you can do is unbelievable.

Whistler, Mt. Washington, Apex, Big White, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Panorama, Kicking Horse, Fernie. When you're done skiing big-mountain and pow, there's countless amount of park too (although maybe not that good), Blackcomb, Grouse (SUCKS, but changing this year), Mt Seymour, Manning Park, etc...

1. Parents bought my ski pass for 250.
2. I bought my salomon foil boots for 200.
3. Payed for half my ski cost, trouble makers for 250.
4. Parents bought bindings, jibs for 80.

Buying gloves for 30.

Then other cash for ski trips, hopefully Ill have time in the summer to make some money towards that, but Im sure my parents will help me out some there.
