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!

Needed some new stuff this year.

Fatigue Pant (Safari): XL - $180
Cargo Vest (Stone): L - $125
Outerwear Co. Riding Pullover (Hot Coral): XL - $75

So that was just an order I placed at Saga because I needed new pants bad and I lack warm condition outerwear. I'm planning on buying...

Scott Team Issue Poles - $80
Smith I/O in Darkness - $175

When everythings all said and done I'm looking at around $635 unfortunately.

3. broke so...new bindings (tyrolia peak 15 T.H.) $175
4. concussion so...new helmet (red hifi) $70
5. outgrew so...new jacket (dakine ledge) $190
So this year i have spent $1295

No proform, just lots of deal scooping and pricing around!

And I get that price through my work. We get the august price minus 20%. All without being tied to and slaving for the mountain.

Im was starting fresh this year because I saw myself in an edit and realized I looked stupid as shit with with nothing baggy, regular pants, and a short fitting salomon jacket and the fact that I look as awkward as a baby giraffe when I hit features didnt help either.

2013 saga anomie safari pants during the sale early this summer - 80$
spy acid rain marshalls on sale - 60$
level 1 tall t - 30$
saga wizardhood - 20$
skull candy icon3 - 40$
2014 saga insulated flannel and mutiny mittens with discount - 106$
2013 Ft drop kicks on sale - 290$
2013 line chronic on sale - 318$
either gonna get rossi freeski2 or marker griffon - about 150ish$
still gotta get a pass too, so about - 420$

I paid for everything under 150$ while working this summer but damn I couldnt do anything without my parents I mean I can't drive alone yet, I dont have a real job and I cant afford a pass. Im also still awaiting punishment for some stupid shit I did that I admitted too and Im praying too God it wont be anything to do with my ski stuff.

Wow man you guys in US have it good. Im in AUS and

bought Tecnica cochise 110 for $650... Come here and you will not find a ski & binding combo for under $800.

Hence why I get alot of my gear shipped from the US :)
