[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have older kids than yours & live in New England but here’s an estimate based on new gear. Of course you can get used stuff more cheaply if you know what you’re looking for. Seasons pass $500-$1200 Weekend race program Dec - Mar $1800 New race skis $500-$1000 each, need at least 2 pair, GS & slalom New poles $100-$150 each, need 2 (GS & slalom) Race boots $300-$500 Race helmet $200-$250 Chin guard for slalom $60 Shin guards for slalom $100-$150 Pole guards for slalom $50-$100 Goggles $50-$200 New race suit $300-$600 Jacket, ski pants, mittens Race entry fees $25-150/race US ski & snowboard membership $150 State ski association membership [/quote] NP. My kids raced and their race program was quite a bit more than $1800, plus the cost of travel for races, plus the kids that were really good went to specialized boarding schools as teenagers. The older they got, the more elitist it became, and we were eventually priced out. [/quote]
