Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) About $1100 for 20 days of skiing for myself and 11 days of skiing for one kid and 10 days of skiing for another kid including 4 lessons, new poles, ski pants, boot bag, seasonal rentals for 2, and ski club membership. That comes out to about 45% lift tix, 24% gear and 24% gas and 6% lessons. Figure that is about $25 per person per ski day and about $2.50 per person per run (considering the boot bag and pants could be amortized over multiple seasons - poles were a this year expense as I lost my poles in a ski parking lot and needed to replace them) Feel pretty good about that deal :-) Corrections, and adding one more day skied for three, the total is actually $1165 for 21 days of skiing for myself, 10 days for 1 kid and 9 for the other, making it (without amortization) about $29 per person per ski day and still $2.50 per person per run. If you look at lift ticket only expense, I spent $13.70 per person per ski day and $1.22 per person per run. 50/50 chance I will hit somewhere in VT on May 10, in which case I will recalculate. Kids are done though - returned their seasonal rentals Sunday. Edited April 21, 2015 by Ski2Live Live2Ski
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 Ski2Live do you usually take both kids skiing with you??? Why 50/50 on Vermont??? It's gonna be only Killington may 10th if you like bumps you'll have a blast.
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 They spend alternate weeks with their mom so it is about 50/50 whether I ski solo or with kids. If I am with kids it is usually with both, though there was one exception this year.
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 Right on its funny how divorced people with kids refer to their ex wife as their kids mom...or baby mama for ghetto people.
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Why 50/50 on Vermont??? It's gonna be only Killington may 10th if you like bumps you'll have a blast. I have a hotel room 3 hours south of Killington for a work thing Monday, so going there would only add about 6 hours of driving which is not too crazy. Gonna see what they have open and what conditions are. I'll do some bumps but I'm not an expert in them, more someone who makes it through them without a lot of grace, so I won't ski them all day. Right on its funny how divorced people with kids refer to their ex wife as their kids mom...or baby mama for ghetto people. Only when I'm talking about her in the context of the kids, otherwise it's usually "my ex"
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 Right on I heard from my office manager that divorced people aren't supposed to bad mouth their ex in front of kids..even if they cheat.
guitar73 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 i haven't looked at the number yet, but this was my far our most expensive season thanks to the big sky trip......
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 i haven't looked at the number yet, but this was my far our most expensive season thanks to the big sky trip...... Awesome the goal should be to top this years number every year forward.
RidgeRacer Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 If I had to guess I would say around $1600 (season pass, Colorado, misc tickets for me /kids, new skis, goggles, gloves).
