[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Bryce is cheaper than Timberline although it is smaller and has less snow. it is also closer so you can go for a day trip (definitely bring food to Bryce the food there is not good).

One way to save money and hassle is to buy used equipment at a ski swap in the fall. That is a great way to get both kid and adult equipment. For your kid, you may still be able to participate in Alpine Ski Shop's lease program. if you get lucky and they have used equipment to lease it is a great deal. But even for new equipment it works out if you ski a few times. We just paid $300 for new boots/skis for our kid and they will buy it back next season for $150 in store credit (that we use towards the next lease). You could also buy a multiday Epic pass for liberty/roundtop/whitetail in the fall but those are no longer for sale.

It also gets cheaper once your kids no longer need lessons. [/quote]

OP here. I will look into the ski lease program. Thanks! Waiting in line to rent equipments is a true hassle.

We are in MD, and Bryce is 2.5 hours drive for us and Canaan Valley is 3 hours away. I did consider buying the EPIC pass this spring but because the there hasn’t been a lot of snow for the  local Vail resorts and I was afraid we won’t be able to use much of it. We were trying so much to go last year but it was such a horrible year for the resorts.[/quote]
