I buy everything except my jacket. I work at the mountain, so I get a free pass. If I go anywhere else I have to pay for it. I basically work to get new stuff. BTW, anyone want to buy some 180cm Nordica W5.1 skis with Marker 9.1 graphite bindings? They've been used maybe 15 times. Retail is $700, i only want 300. And they are in great condition...Later

i pay for nothing, if i get good grades, my dad thinks it makes more sence for me to be a kid. He worked from the time he was 14, adn he wants me to enjoy life. getting good grades is enough for him.

I usually arrange it so that I get most of what I need for christmas. I bought my own pants, jacket and helmet though.

my parents wouldnt drop a red penny on anything i have for skiing, but i like it that way, i love the sport, and would do anything to keep in it, i like wearing stuff that i myself bought, skiing on the skis i bought, it just feels good- then my parents can have money for the stuff they want, its kind of selfish takin alot of money from your parents

I'm 22 like you guys above. Senior year in college so I never have much cash on hand. BUT, I've got the setup...

- I ski instruct @ Hilltop so I get to ski for free;^) (free season pass)

- my buddy works at REI so I scored my brand new PE's this year, BD skins, poles, and boots for $480!! SWEET!!!!!

- I've been into the outdoors(whitewater kayaking/rock & ice climbing/expedition hiking for my entire life so I always seem to have clothing & never need to buy any ski stuff.

So yeah, I pay for my own stuff, but it doesn't cost all that much if you have hookups.

i work an average of 35 hours a week, and am at collage full time, it took me 3 months to save the money to by new skis and boots this year, so i feel lke i earned them. even when my dad offered to pay i told them i wanted to pay my own way. and it feels great nowing that it's my kit i baught it can destroy it and not feel guilty.
and that statment my parents are loaded why should i pay! is bull shit, you should getof your fat free loading ass and make your own way in life instead of living out of your dads wallet you usless momas boy GET A LIFE.
