Sliding on the Cheap
I can’t believe I have such a strong desire to snowboard this season. I’m really pushing for going through all the avenues I know how. Although I’m trying to convince myself that it’ll be worth it, the financial toll is going to be pretty great. I’m finding relatively good deals, but relative to spending nothing on extremities, snowboarding has proven to be quite the luxury.
I’m hoping to go to Squaw Valley this weekend ($120). Possibly Sugar Bowl the next ($130). Whistler for sure the week after that ($500). Then for sure to Sierra after that ($150). Estimated grand total of nearly $1000. Jeebus…
I suppose I’m trying to rationale that I only live once. On the other hand, I plan on living a lot longer than the next two years of school, in which time I’ll be able to afford to go snowboarding. It’s probably wisest to take it easy this season.
Unfortunately, Whistler and Sierra are already committed. I’ll just have to forgo Squaw and Sugar Bowl for now. Unless the gods place the opportunity in my lap, I will no longer pursue it. Rather, I should no longer pursue it.
