For skis: Volant or Lacroix, Lacroix's top model (if we don't count rare limit editions) is a € 8500,- glorious blend of carbon kevlar and titanium guaranteed to make any nouveau riche happy. Still have a soft spot for that company, they made the best monoskis.
For clothing, just step in any high-end French/Swiss mountain resort boutique and they will sell you designer jackets and pants for 2K over a brand new Golf. Too many brands to call out.

You need to wheel and deal. I always get a good deal at zimmermans and ken jones(now proctor or whatever). I get pricing between the two places just like shopping for a new car and it also helps that I have been shoping at ken jones since I was 8.

definitely true, but every day you use that gear rather than buying a lift ticket youre making a SERIOUS dent in the amount you paid. yeah yeah, season passes, but in some cases those are like a grand so there ya go

Well maybe if you ride the park but say your going on a multi day bc trip. The last thing you want is cold wet gloves. Spending more on nice gear is one of the treats of getting older and havin more disposable income.

$92 for a cotton hoodie? You all realize it probably costs Jiberish about $3.00 a hoodie. This is a COTTON HOODIE. You could buy your own heat press and a bulk purchase of blank hoodies and start your own business for what they're charging
I can assure you it costs them much more to make that hoodie. It is 100% worth it too. If rather spend the money to get something high quality that will last.

Not in my experience. I have had $60 gloves and mitts and they only last a season if that. Whereas my current ones which cost allot more are lookin almost new after two seasons.

With gloves all you need is kinkos with snow seal and liners for cold days.

Say what you will but my blacklist hoodie(also 92 dollars) is far ahead of any other hoodie in terms of quality.

How? If I get a season out of a $60 glove but will probably get 4 out of a $150 glove how is going for four pairs of $60 gloves cheaper then one pair of expensive gloves?

Not really. One of those will easily outlast your frame.
Since we're on the topic of bikes, as much as I think that Knolly makes sick rigs, their prices seem crazy. I mean almost 3 grand for an aluminum frame? If I was spending that kind of money I'd just go carbon.
