[quote=Anonymous]Skiing is more affordable for teens and up, and those who live closer to decent resorts.

Hate to say this but at some point quit the lessons.

Find friends who want to share the cost of trips and lodging. Join a school or community ski club if it will lower your cost.

Once foot size and height stabilize, purchase own equipment to reduce rental gear costs.  If it makes financial sense purchase off-rental skis and boots at the end of the season.  If you note down make, model, and size of rental equipment that worked well, you may be able to purchase used versions over the internet.

Visit ski swap sales looking for a great deal.

If you can commit to a lot of skiing, a pass such as the Ikon or Epic pass can lower your lift cost per day.

When you get a hotel, try to find one that includes fred breakfast.

It is an expensive hobby, but recently the Ikon and Epic passes have been credited with helping the industry quite a lot.

I don't know if it would be cheaper than West Virginia but you could look at Silver Springs and Hidden Valley in Western PA as well as Deep Creek in Maryland.[/quote]
