All the money I earned during the summer holidays is pretty much gone. Bought an Anomie for 140 and a nice sexy opus for 400 bucks, including a pair of FKS' for 300.
Total 840$.

Tell me your total costs for equipment NS.

Cheers!

IDK if I should get a new jacket, the old one kinda fits but it is really nice.

Looks like a few others feel my pain of a completely new touring set up. Might get the airbag next year, and probably ask for the avalung for Christmas. Hopefully this stuff last about 10 years or so!

Works out to $200 a year, or $10 a day roughly! I think $10 a day for ski equipment is a good number to shoot for. My park skis and powder skis have cost me about $10 a day so far, and still have some life left in them.

How old? If it still fits and you like it, rock it. Spend money on something else you may want or save it.. I'm getting a new jacket and snow pants this year after waiting 5 years.

$350 For 2014 Line Chronics + Bindings (new)
$100 for 2011 Line Afterbangs and 2012 FKS 140

Chronics were a steal, afterbangs aren't too bad and $100 for the fks alone is pretty good

Or *insert fake comment about how poor I am and how I can't afford anything yet I go skiing all the time and have gear from the past 2 seasons or newer. But yeah, I'm dirt poor. Don't forgot I'm poor,* like the other people on here. I enjoy the honesty and seeing the varying amounts that people spend or don't spend.

And you forgot a lot of people here work for shops and what not so they get discounts. Or they just have a job dude.

I'm not trying to criticize what people spend, or say they spend, it's just that I feel like if I were to put that I spent over $2000 it makes me come off as a complete douche.

so far zero. Need new gloves and need foot beds. I got a good deal for foot beds made for $50. I had my own foot beds so I just need someone to make them. I however need new boots because the boot I currently have will be too small because of the foot bed but the store I bought them from guaranteed me a fitting boot for a year and it hasn't been a year yet.

Got free skis this year from a mount mishap and want to get bluehouse maestros but am selling my powder skis to help fund that.

No gear yet. Just my 2 season passes which came to just over 1000$.
Still need to get: Boots, pants, gloves, new helmet and just want a new coat too.
But highly doubt I'm gonna get any of that unless it's a x-mas gift. Too much school, not enough work, and ski season starts friday. Shiiiit

200 on some volkls 50 on bindings (good salomon bindings from a couple years back, such a good deal!) and since I saved quite a bit on getting cheap skis and not needing new skis, I could afford to get some spy platoons for 100 bucks
