How much money do you think you'll spend on skiing this season???

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

How much money does everybody thing they'll spend on skiing and riding this season? I think I'll spend about $5,000 on trips and my season pass and about $2,000 on new equipment..plus gas so maybe like $7-8,000. If I wasn't a skier all that money would probably be spent on other things like spinners on my Suburu and big pimping...

If this ski season costs more, I can always max out my credit cards..uke:

 

[Zand]

189 for a Wa pass
~190 for the school Stowe trip
And then maybe another 500 on lift tickets and another 300 or so on gas money.

 

[Hawkshot99]

maybe 3-400 on gear, up to a grand on trips. working in a ski shop....priceless

Does your school group stay at the Round Hearth? I use to take a high school group there for a weekend every year until one year a very unfortunate incidence happened. Great dorm, with a big common area, always alot of fun.

Housing and automobile are my dominant costs. If you own a vacation home at a ski resort, the season pass and equipment are chump change. When I was in a share house in my 20's and early 30's skiing Halloween to Memorial Day at Killington, my bar tab blew away everything else.

189 for a Wa pass

Add $10 Z...prices went up this year. You have till 17 Oct to access that price.

As for me...hmmmm.

Prolly $800 on family passes. $100 for the Race League....and about $50 per race night for the tab.

Prolly zero on new gear. I'm good for a while. Wife and daughter are geared up well. The boys are on their own now, although I might buy a jacket for one of them. meh.

Hoping to get up north more frequently and out to the Mogul Class...with an AZ event or two stuffed in.

I'm guessing I'll drop $2000 by he time I'm done.

I guess about $3000 to $6000 but that includes a trip out west with free airfair, and a few times up north

Under 2000K

New Elan 777 ($330.00)
New Marker 14.0 Comp Free ($85.00)
Aspen Ski Pass ($1249.00)

I am at 1664.00 right now shouldn't spend much more.

 

[awf170]

Gear: A little over a $1000
Season Passes: $800ish
Day Passes: $0
Gas: $1000? All depends on if I have people to split the driving with.
Lodging (weekends) : $500?
Food: $50-$100. Yes I am that cheap.
Chic Chocs trip: $400-$500.

I must be forgetting some random expenses though.

Then if I am cheap enough through the first half of the school year I will probably go out west during most of January, which should add almost $2000 on.

Then if I still have money saved up I will probably go out west touring during mid-may to mid-June. Which should be very cheap since I won't be buying any tickets and I can camp. So I would say a $1000 for that.

 

[millerm277]

Gear: around $150, all I need is bindings for the skis I bought last year.
Season passes: $300 for Killington midweek, and $30-50 for Hunter Big Lift Card.
Lodging: maybe $600-800
Food: $100-300
Trip out west: $1500.

 

[deadheadskier]

$0 on equipment

$600 or so on tickets

$100 for food and beers the few rare times I stop in a lodge

$300-500 on gas


I generally try and keep my ski expenses for the year under a grand unless I'm planning on taking a trip out west or buying new equipment.

 

[ALLSKIING]

Now that I decided to get a season rental my yearly expenses went way up, but so did my days on the hill and the added enjoyment.

 

[mattchuck2]

Hmmm . . . good question.

$500 on new boots w/Pro Form
$200 for boot work
Free Season pass for instructing
$90 PSIA dues
$280 on PSIA events (Alpine Level III, Part II Exam and maybe a Level II Tele Exam)
$250 on Apres Ski beers
$250 on lunches in the lodge (with instructor's discount)
Get my Fiancee to pay for gas and stay at her parents condo for lodging.

Depending on how much money I have left over, I'd like new skis (maybe the Fischer Progressors) and a trip to Utah Late March/Early April. Now all I need is a raise at work.

 

[Vortex]

Don't want to say, but 4 passes one seasonal program and 2 places. Alot.
