i spend about £1500 pounds a year on skiing once youve bought equipment flights accomadation skipass etc. Thats like 3000 USD.

all out my own pocket, but in order to do that i have to work fucking hard over the summer working on the harvest and try not to spend too much money at uni. You appreciate money alot more when your paying your own way through life

Believe it or not I havent spent ANY money on skiing this year. Literaly been poaching everywere, didnt buy a season pass just been bumming them from all my friends that broke themselfs already. All my money goes straight to gas cus its so fucking expensive. I can barely afford weed and food anymore, its seriously pissing me the fuck off. straight bum status yet im still skiing 3 days a week atleast if not more if my shins hold up cus of my shitty ass boots.

I paid around 300 for this year.
250 4frnt vcts with bindings
20 pants
30 new goggles

not bad, last year was
200 invaders
50 pants
60 jacket
40 poles

I dont really spend much.

How do you spend $1300?(I wish this was 4 years ago when I could make a joke about how that must be canadian dollars and that it is only 300 american)
