Ski & Resort tool
How many seasons will you ride? Compare rental with purchase, fitting, maintenance, and resale over the same period.
Expected resale value is deducted once at the end of ownership
The expected resale value is deducted once from total ownership cost at the end of the selected period.
Cost result
At 8 days per season, buying breaks even in about 3.0 seasons.
This is a planning estimate. Transport, storage, damage, insurance, changing rental quality, boot fit, and non-financial convenience are excluded unless included in your inputs.
Gear ownership cost
Choose skis or snowboard and enter the actual daily rental fee. Check whether both sides cover the same boots, bindings, and other gear.
Enter days per season, seasons owned, gear/fitting costs, and annual maintenance. Estimate resale at the end of that period.
Compare rental and ownership totals for the plan. Break-even days divide that period’s net ownership cost by daily rental, rounded up.
A worked example
Using the four-season maintenance and resale assumptions, rental is ₩50,000 cheaper.
