[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skiing is definitely for rich people. [/quote]

This is such BS!  We are not rich, we save a portion of our paycheck for a vacation each year, and yes it is skiing.  We cannot afford ski in/ski out, brown paper bag our lunches (as we do everyday for work and school, which is how we save money) and we buy used equipment at ski swaps when we need something.  Most of the time we drive to our destinations, especially if the kids school vacation is between two weekends giving us ten days of vacation.  We are not rich, probably never will be, but it's how we choose to spend our vacations with our children.  And we are certainly not elitists.[/quote]

You are not a skier. [/quote]

Really?  Skied telluride before it had a ritz, skied purgatory with my new husband, have good friends who own a property near squaw and skied there often before kids. But that was when DH and I lived out west and were childless, not rich but just jumped on any day ski junket we could.  Pizza junctioin in tuckeewas the best, no longer there sadly. I am a skier, a damn good one at that even skied China bowl as a child after school. You are the definition of an elitist skier op is talking about, and obviously quite the snot. Lol [/quote]

You were a skier, you are not now, nor are you kids. if you go to Teluride a few weekends every winter, you are a skier, or go up to vermont or have a cabin you go to on the weekends.

You save your pennies to take your kids to ski every blue moon.

You are not a skier and you are not raising skiers. [/quote]

DP you sound unnecessarily angry with the PP. She’s clearly a skier raising skiers. You’re an idiot.[/quote]

They ski once a year. It's like playing tennis once a year and claiming you are a tennis player.

She clearly understands skiing is very expensive because she has to save alllll year to do it and  can rarely afford to do it. [/quote]

Ehh. DP. We are skiers. We take our kids skiing once a year. Just got back from a week in Colorado (week after Christmas). My 8 yo can do black diamonds, so I think we are raising skiers despite going once a year. [/quote]

Your kid could go every 5 years and still do black diamonds, it's not that big of a deal. [/quote]

You are an [b]odd one[/b]! [/quote]

That's a funny way to spell douchebag. [/quote]
