How do you afford skiing?

[jd_1260]

How do you pay for ski involved stuff. Do your parents pay for some of it, what job you work for the money or who youre sponsered by. For me it's washing dishes at a restaurant by my house.

My parents paid this last year. I'm paying this current year, though they'll help out (probably split the price of new skis with me, or something).

 

[i8van]

winter - working at the ski store

summer - lifeguarding

all year - trying to do something for companies and get payed with gear

 

[QuazBotch]

Ski Instructing = pass at local hill/ski alone

Other job covers when I ski alone + gear

Ski with family and give them lessons = free lift ticket.

To be honest with you, last year i have no idea how i payed for everything. Only thing i didnt buy fully were my skis, i paid $250 for them and my parents paid $250. But i paid for jacket, pants, bindings, goggles, boots, hats, gloves, and helmet. This year i have a job and only need bindings and skis, i just bouhgt bindings, and am gonna get the skis for christmas.

[Holte]

ski instructing = instructor deals on gear
