A few hundred. I have had the same boots for a couple years, and i usually keep a pair of skis for about 2 years.

Nordic equiptment, however...i got through that like shit through a goose.

Yeah, I got skis and bindings for $80. Boots for $35, and right now I'm looking for some more skis. So by the time I'm done about $300.

same boots... unless i grow out of them or they break. new skis and bindings- about 450ish. and some new jackets and gloves and stuff. so i estimate anywhere from 400-500. depends what im due for.

I usually have a pair of boots for 2 seasons. And I get new skis every season because I usually break them.

$1300 and that was with getting a deal on bindings and boots...but I def could have done it for a little over a grand if I had shopped online...but sometimes it pays to support your local ski shop (warranty)

See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

found a 12 dollar pair of poles, 1080's cost me $200 nearly brand new, using the same boots, so the grand total is $212

Well, every year I get atleast one new pair of poles so thats say 50-100 depending if I go through two sets. I've bought a new pair of skis and bindings last year and again this year so I'm good on skis for this and next season. I also bought boots last season but I'm going to get new ones next year. I'd say on ave. over the last 10 years I spend 400 a year... some years 800, some years 100.

I've spent about 500 this year, it all depends on what I need. I didnt have to buy new skis this season, but I got a new jacket, goggles, gloves and I still might buy some new pants and a pair of backup skis.
