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... On Thu, 28 Nov 2002 23:00:21 -0600 - Jack Berger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote the following Re: Re: <OT> earthquake! >More like 4 hrs from here.
