Im just wondering... do most of you pay for your own skis... or did parents help you. Because i have been saving up for a long time now and i finnaly got about $500. i bought k2 fugitives for $300 on skiershop.com and i bought s912's for about $180 on ebay. Now my $500 is like gone and i need poles and new boots. So did you buy everything for did parents help out. Also i dont have a job. (This forum does really apply to people over 20 or so.)

My brother babysits the little kid next door when his parents want a break. The kid's pretty chill and they just play computer games together and at the end he picks up $50.

Geoff: No, I just put my boxers on backwards so the hole is in the back...it's alot easier that way.

my parents pay for everything. my skis are usually counted as a christmas present, boots are just paid for because they're like, needed, annnd poles are a throw away item so i dont pay for them, but mostly i get things as presents

i buy the skis and boots and goggles and stuff... but my parents pay for the snow pants/jackets and lift tickets. it's actually pretty even.

i bought my skis. if you live by a resort you can get some good skis that were the demos for they year pretty cheap. i still need to save up for new boots but i think my poles from last year will work. i would suggest to get a job

Save Sugar Loaf! It's our resort, not just real estate.

I pay for everything myself, season pass, skis, goggles, helmet, etc. I got my pants and coat for my birthday and christmas though. That's it.

It doesn't matter if the poles suck... if they bend, you go get a new pair.

And I pay for all my own stuff. Everything.

yeah im 16 and no job, and i have to pay for everything. i work in the winter, but all that money's goin to spring break in whistler. so i gotta figure something out, like stealing cars and selling them on ebay, or perhaps kidnapping kids and holding them for ransom.

yeah the poles aren't really an issue....just go to some usedgoods store (we have a cool one called 'play it again') and buy poles for 10 bucks. who cares if you bend them...they only look that much cooler

$300 for fugatives is A LOT! You coulda got close to your boots if you woulda got a deal on those skis. Like about $230 at christy's.
