Posted: Dec 02, 2009 - 6:52 PM GMTEdited: Dec 02, 2009 - 6:54 PM GMT Quote: Ummmm.......Steamboat.....$95 a day....every day.......and almost no discounts. Ouch! I think that the many of the western resorts are in such a different league and market that they can get away with those prices. Many are so far away from a major metro area that they can only market themselves as destination resorts (no day trippers from the city). Their customers usually must pay for air, rental car, lodging, food and drink so lift tickets aren't a huge extra cost when factored into the totlal cost of a vacation. |

Mtsnow100, come back to your old stomping grounds and ski Central Mass. You won't burn much gas driving from northern R.I. and the prices here are lower those in northern New England. Of course, so are the hills, but what the hell, it beats not skiing. |

Posted: Dec 02, 2009 - 9:13 PM GMTEdited: Dec 02, 2009 - 9:14 PM GMT as a teenager in 1975 I walked up to the window at K-Mart on a holiday weekend and paid $16 for a ticket. Equal to about two afternoons of yard work in the neighborhood. Factoring inflation, that works out to $60 today. Killington's stated price for a teenager walking up to the window is $65. So perhaps it's all relative. Can you get two afternoons worth of yard work from a teenager for $65 these days? |

Posted: Dec 02, 2009 - 11:25 PM GMT Quote: Wait until everyone's 'hero' barack obama starts his cap and trade legislation. At that point lift tickets will most likely approach 125-$150 per day due to the massive energy consumption and carbon contribution of ski areas. It may work the other way, if more areas start installing wind farms to generate their own energy. But have no fear - lift tickets will reach those levels by the pure power of inflation  . The only question is: When?__________ Joshua Segal |

Hah, we're still footing the tab with all of the incentives, etc. handed out to both the producers/installers, as well as the owners. I'm not aware of a single 100% privately funded wind turbine project in the ski industry. __________ NewEnglandSkiHistory.com |

It is better than $91 a day, but far from what I'd call a great deal!!! ). IMHO $60/day vs $91 is a fantastic deal Quote: Whoa nelly. You're assuming someone wants to ski the same place lots of times. Buying a season pass can also be a huge waste of money if you don't go often enough. Most people who buy a seasons pass do plan on skiing at that resort often. That's why they buy one. They are not as dumb as you presume. [/quote] Yes, my thought was that they would want to ski more than 20 days. Many people on this board, who live near ski areas ski that much in one month. That's a lot of moolah for a season! |
