It looks like in Canada is cheaper to skate than the US. I should start thinking *north*

It is also surprising how much money people are puting on the sport early on. My dd's coach was telling me that few years ago it was unheard for basic skills kids to skate everyday and spend extra for choreo, off ice training etc. (talking 6 and 7 years old). I personally know a girl (talented and everything) that is 8.5 and already spends about 50.000 a year. I think right now she is juvenile. On the other hand the world scene (Japan and Korea) gone nuts on technical difficulty so if you do not go all the way early on then you have no chance. I do not know. Gone the old days!!!!

My DD(8.5 y) takes fewest lessons from her coach, but still for each week:
3 hour free style: $36
2 half hour private lessons: $70 (my husband thought I only spend $35)
1 hour off-ice jumping class: $10
that's $116/week

each year for competition:
$500 (so far she only does local ones)
Dresses+tights:$400

So it's ~$6000-$7000/year

I know higher level skaters skate 2 hours and take at least 30 min private lessons a day.
