I get $600 cad to spend on "wellness". Lucky me this covers ski tickets, lessons, and equipment. I figure I have a couple of options: get a half/full day lesson, get new pow skis (Prodigy 4.0 probably), or get $600 worth of lift tickets. What would you guys spend $600 on?

It depends on if you already have a pair of pow skis or if you really need a pair.

Either go with the skis or lift tickets. Definitely don't spend $600 on a half day lesson. Am I reading that wrong or is that actually what it costs what kind of lesson is that

100% not trying to have a bunch of crowns and root canals like my parents in 30 years. Fancy electric toothbrush is the way.

Say what you will about the East Coast, it sure can be cheap when you keep this kind of price in mind.
