Cross
country or downhill, it’s your choice. Both are great winter sports.
Maybe you enjoy water skiing as well. Whatever you choose, you’re going
to need skiing equipment to get started. If you’re into downhill
skiing, you will probably need a ski pass or a ski resort pass. For
cross country skiing, you can go just about anywhere, provided that
there’s snow. On the other hand, with water skiing, you’ll have to wait
until it’s a bit warmer outside and have to get a boat, like
sailing.
Get a summer or winter job
If you’re
a student, you’ll have vacations, meaning that you can use that time to
earn some extra money and give some skiing tips as well. Sponsorship
can come in the shape of a job. There are many ski resort jobs out
there and they range from those outdoors and indoors. You can teach
people how to ski on the bunny slopes, work inside at the café, or help
operate the ski lift. Free passes are often available for employees at
ski resorts, so this might be a very profitable option for you.
Talk to your friends and family
Many
people have tried skiing, once or twice. Some people go as far as to
buy
skiing gear
and have it sit in the basement, garage, or attic. Ask them if they
wouldn’t mind giving you the skiing equipment that they no longer use.
They will probably be happy to give it to such a
ski enthusiast,
who they know will use it well.
Organize a ski expedition
If you’re
a
cross country skiing,
you know that you can go far, literally. Talk to your local newspaper
and let them know that you plan on a
ski adventure
this winter. They could interview you and when people read the article,
they could be willing to sponsor you, in the form of money, free food,
and lodging, or even skiing equipment.
If this sounds like something that interests you, consider contacting
one of our
sponsorship consultants to find out more
information.
