[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The condo fees range from $650-$1000/month. All in, taxes, condo fees and maintenance will be about $30k/year.  Right now we are going during Christmas and renting a place is $$$ (ski town). [/quote]

so for 30K/yr you could rent a ridiculous house in Aspen for 3-4 weeks. Or you could just travel to Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Austria, France, or Switzerland and ski instead of going to the same place all the time.  Your kids will be bored.[/quote]

Have you looked at prices at these places? Week at Christmas in Aspen for a 2 bedroom condo it is $20,000 at a place that is nice but not crazy. Last year we spent $15k for a week in Park City at Christmas time. [/quote]

I have no idea what you are looking at, that has not been my experience at all and we do at least 2 weeks out west each year. Honestly are you the same person who insists that it costs $1,500/nt to stay in Manhattan (as if the Mandarin is the only gig in town), when in reality you can get a great room for $700?

I'm actually booked AT Snowmass in Crestwood this coming Christmas, check in 12/26, check out 1/1.  The condo is slope side and is ski in ski out. The community has all amenities, including boot and ski storage, concierge, heated outdoor pool, fitness center and is in the village. For a 2 bedroom,I'm paying $4,700. We did Aspen proper last Christmas and liked Snowmass best because you cannot ski in/out in Aspen and have to take a shuttle everywhere.  Plus Snowmass has more for the kids.

This. You have to struggle to find a place that costs 20k to rent a week and if you can find that, the sale price would be wayyyy over 1M.  We too head out there and like to stay alongside and by far our lift tickets are much more expensive than the condo we rent. I actually think condos are pretty reasonably priced. [/quote]
