[quote=Anonymous]The prices have gotten totally out of hand. My husband and kids ski/snowboard and I don't, but I come for the trips. We've gone to Steamboat Springs and Crested Butte in Colorado, plus Snowbird in Utah. Steamboat Springs is my favorite for the setup - cute town plus lots of activities for non-skiers - but dear god this vacation is expensive. Plane tickets are $1k+ each for the 4 of us and lodging is $700-1,000 a night. We are spending $8k-$12k for a 5-night vacation. I also hate that Maryland schools don't have a winter break so we're stuck traveling over Christmas. Steamboat Springs especially jacks up their prices over the holidays.

We literally don't go on another vacation the whole year to be able to do this trip. This might be the last year...starting next winter we're going to go to Europe instead for skiiing. At least I'll be able to get on a train to see something besides ski slopes (my kids are in high school now and don't need me there the whole trip) and my understanding is that we can probably spend less than half per day for an equally good or better skiing experience.
