Unless you live 30 minutes from a resort :)[/quote]
Please tell me, what’s more expensive, renting a cabin and share w/ a group of friends or the lift tickets, boards, boots, bindings, jacket, pants, etc. Even if you don’t have to rent a place, how much does it cost to buy the gear and getting lift tickets at a nice mountain?[/quote]
[side discussion hijack]AN, as captcha said, clothing and gear is a one-time expenditure. You can also buy used (most “used” clothing and equipment on CL is only slightly used). For growing children under the age of 14, it is wisest to rent their gear if you don’t live near any skiing, and buy their clothing used off CL or e-bay.
If you’re not purchasing new clothing and/or gear at the Del Mar Fairgrounds ski-blowout sale (previous-year models) in August or the Sports Chalet Labor Day Weekend sale (all over CA), you’re paying way too much.
