[quote=Anonymous]I was a competitive figure skater.  Time at the rink was what I lived and breathed.  It didn't matter what I was doing, I wanted to be near the ice.  My parents couldn't afford the crazy costs so I had to be willing to help out.  That meant babysitting to pay for lessons, excelling in school, and eventually working at the rink.  I had to be willing to transport myself to the rink on the public bus when they couldn't take me.  I did group lessons and public sessions.  I knew I was never going to the olympics.  We didn't have the money and I couldn't afford all the extras that go with it.  But none of that mattered.  As long as I was at the rink, I was happy.

In short, I had to show my parents that I was committed to this in order for them to support me.  What is your daughter committed to?  As someone else said, are they willing to muck stalls?  Are they willing to work in the ski shop?  Are they willing to teach others to ski?  Would they be willing to take a longer child skiing?[/quote]
