[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like some lala land weird idea of what family life should look like. We have an 8 figure hhi yet don’t take that many vacations, and it’s nothing to do with money. You seem to have an idealized version of life and want to slot kids into it, but that’s not how it works. Maybe when the kids are very young, but if your kids do serious sports or school activities, a lot of your schedule will revolve around that. For vacations, it depends what level of nice you want, but we have 4 kids, and a ski week alone is well over half your travel budget. You also seem to be ignoring sleep away camps, sport camps, etc. I think you want some instagram version of parenting. [/quote]

Where do you ski if you spend 40K on a sling trip??? We've done a lavish skiing trip in Canadian Rockies at $10K for the whole week and fantastic nordic spas this year[/quote]

For 5 people?  No you haven't.  [/quote]

Different poster but I regularly ski in Vail and Beaver Creek maybe 3x a year and I’m usually able to get walkable rooms to the slopes for about 4k for the week. Epic passes are 1k per person. But they are spread over several trips. Flights are maybe 500 each max. I don’t think their estimate is crazy.

Now, once you need two rooms or a much larger suite yes you are up maybe 7k for rooms. But I also sometimes stay off slope and drive to the garages. That is a great way to massively save funds. [/quote]

Yea. If anyone is spending $40k per ski trip in the US they’ll be better off flying yo Switzerland and getting personalized treatment for that kind of $$$$[/quote]
