My parents said theyd spend 300 on my new skis cuz I broke old ones so I found mojo 80's for 450 and I owe them 150 (canadian). I think thats pretty fair but I know a lot of you guys work for all your own equipment or your parents pay for all of it. btw I made this after I saw the "RIP skis" thread
 
ya that other kid needs to get a job, or just do his homework. my parents stopped buying me stuff when i went to middle school. i think you got a pretty fair deal since your skis broke. its nice that your parents helped you out so you wouldn't be without skis in march.
 
my parents usually pay for most of my stuff up to a reasonable price. then if i want better, i pay the difference
 
Fuck No my mom doesn't pay for shit. I had to pay for all of my gear this year which sucks. and then she takes them away saying their in her house so its part of her's total bullshit
 
my mom says it's fair that they pay half, but I go to buy my stuff with my dad and he just buys it all for me and tells my mom i paid half
 
Ya exactly i got the invaders pretty cheap plus i'm riding on demo bindings i bought and some ghetto nordica boots becaue i had to earn all the money to pay for my stuff this year but i was making the best of it till my mom took them away with only like a month left in the season
 
i have to buy all my stuff, i spent almost 1500 on shit this season, i wish my parents would help out a bit but i guess i a little old for that.
 
i had to pay like 350 last season for my skis and bindings. my mom did pay 200 for my boots though and they get a lot of stuff for me on birthdays and christmas. im getting new the invaders in like 10 days for my birthday for example
 
oh yeah forgot about season passes. my mom buys those for me every year because she knows i'll use it and she likes that i actually go outside all day in the winter
 
my parents buy me my skis but they say it has to last a long time so if i want new skis after a year they will not get it for me and same with jackets. So i just buy my goggles and stuff like that my self
 
Parents buy some of my stuff.. They bought me a jacket, pants, and helmet this year. 2 weeks later i realized i hate it all and since then bought new everything but pants with my own money.

pretty much only thing theyll buy for me is some clothes, i pay for everything else
 
same here...i asked for just a pair of skis and nothing else for christmas...all i got was a big "hell no". i didn't even get any boots.
 
alll i can say is all you kids need to get fuckin jobs, i ve been working since i was 14, im only 18 and i have to pay for my car gas, phone, all my ski stuff, basically anything i wanna buyim [aying for, i save up and bought $2000 i mac a couple years ago and they didnt help me wiht a cent, become and idividual what aee you gonna do when you move out?
 
i pay for all my own shit. my parents think im spoiled so theyve been making me pay for stuff, besides food, on my own for many years
 
nah, they only will buy me helmet,poles and boots.

The boots prolly never again because my foot is prolly done growing. and poles i will prolly just steal a new pair
 
Your kidding right... 1500 for a sled ... especially if your in the mountians your looking like 700 minimum extended trank lke 3 yrs old used is like still 5 grand man
 
I buy everything. Sometimes my parents are nice and get me a piece or two of gear for christmas. They gave me a jacket and a pass this year cause it's my first year of ollege, which is sick, but I didn't get anything last year.
 
They bought my current ski's and bindings but I normally would have to buy them in full or at least go halves on it.
 
they use to help pay for stuff or give me stuff as birthday or christmas presents but now i am 21 and pay for all my stuff.
 
Haha, I've spent over $2,000 on skiing this year and I got both my passes for free. And yes, I pay for my own gear. Expecting your parents to buy everything for you is not the best way to set yourself up for life outside of the house, to say the least.
 
yeah f all you guys who have ur parents buy all your stuff. first if i'm achually aloud to get somthin i have to pay for 100% of it
 
same here

im only 13 though so earning money isnt exactly easy... but im makin either a grand or 3 grand this summer (American money) and i might buy skis and a laptop if do the 2 grand option but if only one grand ima buy a laptop
 
I got hand me downs for years then when I wanted twins I had to pay for them myself. I pay for everything too. Food when I'm out, clothes, computer stuff, camera equip, and I don't get an allowance. I'm not really sure where most of my money comes from either...
 
my dad gets free season passes for the family and i pay for all my ski gear but i use his proform deal......so in a way they "help me pay for it"
 
my parents pay for stuff i need anything i want i have to pay for on my own

which i think is reasonable to say the least.
 
my parents will pay what they think is resonable for skiing with the family. So like up to $250 for skis, $100 for bindings, and $200 for boots, and only when I need new stuff. Also they will pay for any days of skiing that are 'family ski days' everything else comes from me.
 
my parents don't pay for any ski stuff. they did buy me a helmet for christmas, but that's it.
