Skiing isn't that expensive
You can get a solid the full gear for 200-300 $ and as I see you live in Canada so the traveling to a mountain shouldn't be a problem
You can also rent the gear
Or just buy different things each year. First thing to buy is a pair of skis. Make sure you buy older versions of skis! No need to buy the latest and greatest. Heck, an old pair of Line Step Ups, a versatile park ski that can also double as a good starter ski, are about $200. After that, buy the cheapest bindings that aren't kids' bindings. Search for a local ski shop; chances are high they'll have the older pair. If not, you can order them online.
As for boots and everything else, see if you can borrow some from friends. During the next season, buy your own. Again, go to a ski shop to get them fitted. DO NOT BUY BOOTS ONLINE BEFORE AT LEAST TRYING THEM OUT IN-STORE. If you have some extra money, buy a set of beaten-up poles. No shame in buying used ones.

Yeah I'll definitely look into buying my own stuff instead of renting, maybe for next season. Right now I'm in college so I can't really splurge on such amenities.
I am hooked though, really happy I only live an hour and a half away from the nearest ski hill.
That is a very nice camera you have thre to take photos or yourself

Oh well, I don't hate anyone I swear D:
My ban must have expired early. Guess the mods were feeling a touch of Christmas spirit.
I am going to be blunt. You're a rather handsome individual.

As a freeskier, this makes me happy. Welcome to the fold of skiers!
Edit: To the mod who deleted the rest of my post...
It'd be awesome if I got an explanation as to why, or at least a notification. There was nothing that broke the rules. There was no need to do so.
Normally, I would PM you to talk about it, but, since I have not gotten a notification, I have no idea who to PM.
Please shoot me a PM.
Muchas gracias.

Why are you dressed as a Pikachu? (Don't answer)
Jus' saiyan.
You mean I look pretty ballin' right now.
Why thank you. I quite dislike being clean shaven.

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.
