When I used to race, I got 2 Slalom, 2 GS, 1 SG a season and with cost prices was around £1250 ($2500).  Wasnt good enough for full kit sponsorship.  Fortunately it didnt come out of my own money.  Hence when I had to start buying my own kit I quit.

more parts to break on a bike than on skis. once you start upgrading parts on your bike it's hard to stop!

Yeah, I spent about that this year. Student discount for a season pass is clutch though. My mountain offers a $300 season pass for students. I've skied like 30+ days this year. The most expensive part now is the gas!

probably enough to buy a small airplane. Most I ever spent was probably my first year skiing since I was a gayper and bought most of my stuff at shops so I didn't get very good deals on it. cept outerwear most i've spent on a jacket/pant combo was like $150.

Skiing was probably around $1500 this year, but I spent about $5,500 on biking.  I like the cost of skiing.

Well, only the last 2 years.  Probably like $1800 ish this year, and like $1600 last year.  Them soem in teh off season.  If it was retail it would be a ton more though.  I meant retail was a few grand or something, I dunno.  I already have a car.  I wanted to get set up so when I'm in college I don't need much gear (I'm a senior in hs this year).
