I don't want this to be a thread that rich kids are bragging about who much stuff they got or anything, but what's your skiing budget in a year? Ski equipment, Passes, Competitions, coaching, camps? Stuff like that please don;t make this a thread for snobs, and remember some people don;t have mommy and daddy help them out. Like Me

seasons pass tremblant=$250
seasons pass whistler =$900
New skis and bindings =$900
Blue mountaincompetion
=$200 travel,food,ticket,fees
Ericson Big air tremblant$120 food,hostel,gas fees
5 day trip to utah= $670cnd
(busticket from whister $280 return) 2 days of Lift tickets $120cnd at park city, $70 food, medical bills from breaking 2 ribs in Utah $175 cnd. +Various comps around Whistler $90.

That Totals to about/ approximatly $3130

That might explain why I eat kraft dinner everday.
That doesn't include parting, probley the same $$
on booze in a year. thats scary

Is that in Canadian cash or something? Because 900 bucks is a lot to dish out for a season pass...
Anyway, this is my paltry budget for last year...

New skis/bindings: $550
Poles: $20
Jacket/Goggles/Pants: $200
Summer camp: $1500
Season pass: $200
Random other tickets: $300
Comp. entry fees: $20 (haha)

What's that all, $2790 or something like that? Christ.... I spent more than I thought!

oh shit um...

blue mountian pass - $450 (parents)
tremblant pass - $200
skis - $300
US Open - $700 or so
Pro Challenge - $150
Grail - $350
Whistler for a weekend - $400 (parents)
local competitions - $150 or so

so that's a total of like = $2700 plus partying money for all the weekends that wern't included in the above.

I need new boots, skis, jacket, pants, and goggles, but can't at the moment 'cause of the fact of me being poor... but getting hooked up for most that stuff, so it's all good.

I've never met the dude but he just seams like a huge tool... and to be completely in love with a chick off the net who doesn't like him... now that just makes you a big loser. I don't like you and you smell bad (says so in your nickname even).

im not going to say how much i spend on skiing, racing is way to expensive, with all the coaching fees and the trips, i hate having my parents pay for it all cuase it puts them in the hole, but there is now way i could afford it

i just buy a pass to both my local mountains, and i just wear like 5 layers of thermals and a tall tee over that. if i need new snowpants i just hit up tj max and get some dope spyder pants for like 75 bucks every other year.

so i spend like 500 bucks... i make enough money to buy all new gear every year, but there is just no god damn point.

Did a quick inventory one day and figured at retail I would have about $30,000 worth of sports gear between skiing, biking and kayaking.

I've always wanted to look at this, cuz it felt like I bought a ton of stuff last season but I'm not sure how much I spent. Fortunately, my dad got me my colorado pass for my birthday, so I don't have to add that in. Here it goes:

Helmet -  $110
Goggles - $60
Jacket/Pants - $250
Socks - $20
Boots - $400
Poles - $10
Skis/Bindings - $350
Hoodie - $40

Total - $1240. Seems like a lot, but I guess it isn't terrible compared to some people on here :)
