Replying to IT AINT CHEAP

In my opinon, I think skiing is the most expensive sport done by a large amount of people. Yes, of course there are sports that only a few people do that are rediculously expensive like nascar and so on. Skiing is a sport for the rich. Not that there arnt people ski bumming and just getting by. Its just an expensive sport to do. Everything from skis, boots, outerwear, lift tickets, and the fact that often times you have to fly out west to get a good taste of it. I am not complaining what so ever, but it is definatly a costly sport. I pay for almost all my gear, and have been lucky to have had the opportunity to ski out west. What do you think?
