Skiing is unfortunatly one of those sports that can have a high entry
fee. Especially now that equipment has changed so drasticly the last
few years. Combine that with a season pass or daily lift tickets and
its expensive. I'm sorta lucky. I get my equipment on pro or shop forms
and dont pay for tickets. There is a trade off, I have to interrupt my
skiing to haul idiots off the hill in a rescue sled. But it does allow
me to ski 100+ days each winter :-)

Just for fun I pulled out my calculator and did some rough figuring.
Not counting my childhood, which I skijumped and did it every night and
Sat/Sun all winter from 10-17yrs old. This is just my adult years.
17 full time seasons of 100 days minimum
1700/365=4.65 years on skis and that is conservative because most
seasons lasted about 110-130 days and I only take 6-10 days off each
winter.
Now to figure out how much time I spent trout fishing...
