So I was thinking back on it, and it turns out that skiing is getting fucking expensive! And I'm not even talking about just the regular expenses like skis gear and passes. I'm talking about the unexpected type of things. So here is what it has cost me so far:

4 cell phones

2 girlfriends

An ipod

4 broken ribs

3 concussions

A broken collarbone

2 trips to the E.R.

Thousands in medical bills ( it turns out catscans are expensive.)

And a $500 dollar ticket for having the wrong stuff in a pocket of my ski pants up on the hill.

Is it only me that all this is happening to? Thank God skiing has made it all worth it, but I want to see what it has cost other NS'ers.
 
3 cracked ribs

1 concussion

seriously screwing up my left knee. no torn ligaments but I have screwed up almost every ligament in my knee by straining it or otherwise hurting it.
 
honestly?
not shit...ive never had anything stolen and ive never injured myself severely (ever...in anything besides minor broken nose). the only thing is gear and passes.

But like others have said, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

but i'd say it's worth it
 
Acl and cartilage tear, about $2500 when it was all said and done.4 compression fractures on lower vertebrae, concussion, and bruised kidneys. Much cheaper than the knee, about $500. 1 cell phone, $200.
And that was all out of my own pocket, my parents didnt pay it for me. Atleast I had insurance through them.
