[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL took our family and DH’s siblings families to ski Breck for a week.

Accommodations was ski in/out but was average and nothing spectacular.  All in with lift tickets (epic), accommodations, flights, transfers it was around 35k.  We and DH siblings took care of the food costs for the week. Breck is also the less expensive mountain when it comes to accommodations in CO compared to Vail, Aspen, etc…

1 week =7 days = price of a car[/quote]

Family of 4 (us) went to Breck for a week last year:

Flights - used miles
Car rental for week- $600
2 bedroom condo, short shuttle ride to lifts, walkable to town- $2000
Epic passes for 4 people- $2800 
Season ski rental for kids- $200 (mom and dad own skis)
Total, not including food: about $5000[/quote]

Obviously, free flights helps, but 5k for a week at Breck is pretty good.[/quote]

But 5k is not the real cost.  You have to add flights for 4 people and that’s about $1400 so you are at $6400.   Condo is very cheap and basic I suspect and not at the mountain.

Add food costs and you are looking at 7k.   That’s the real price to go the cheap way.[/quote]

It does not make sense to both say skiing is only for the super rich and then judge someone for staying at a cheaper location. I have often saved money by staying at a motel at hour from PC and still had a great time. I have also brought my own snacks and hot chocolate to cut down on costs. You don't have to stay ski in-ski out, once you are on the mountain skiing is the same no matter where you stay.[/quote]
