Can someone tell me how to save when I’m buying new full tilts, the new vishnus, the new ruroc helmet, too many tall tees and snow pants? My wallet is gonna crumble in September.
No one’s seen the new ruroc...

Can find it on lj’s IG but that’s about it, they did a stream earlier and you could get a decent look at it, both he and Andy were wearing new ruroc frameless goggles which look p dope too.

I think there's a pretty obvious answer to this that a large part of the population doesn't understand. Its called Spending within your means.

Do you have a job yet? If not maybe try to get a part time job in a ski shop. You will get all the latest gear cheap. BeT part you can sell it off at the end of the year for potentially what you paid, unless you ski park of course, and basically always have new gear for no money.

Yeah I'm finishing senior year this next few months, I have jobs, but y'know car and shit. Working full time summer and on, trying to decide what life has for me. Not a ton of ski shops in the area, one's really good, but incredibly overstaffed. (got a few buddies who work there)

This is a very difficult question. I sometimes go into debt to buy new gear. Actually, I am not pleased with my salary and I believe that I should find another opportunity to earn extra money. I want to travel and buy the gear I want and not look at its price. During the search, I found out about amazon fba business and I think I can achieve great success in this business. And I like that this work doesn't take a lot of time and effort and doesn't require a lot of investment. I hope that I will succeed. Please wish me luck.
