East coast skiing over winter break can be good but is often not. Even when it's good, skiing is REALLY expensive. [b]For lift ticket, lessons, and rental equipment at the lowest cost setups in VT, you're probably looking at $200 per person per day.[/b] Then you also have to eat and sleep. So it may be technically doable in your budget (assuming you already have most of the right gear)... but tight.[/quote]

This. It's true even at Liberty and Whitetail. When we were at Disney a few years ago I saw a dad wearing a "Most Expensive Day Ever" t-shirt and I laughed and said to DH that guy clearly hasn't taken his family skiing. [/quote]

Agree. We had some family members who wanted to learn to ski, so they're meeting us at a CO resort for Christmas. Even with all the lodging and most of the meals on us, they were shocked at how expensive it is going to be. There might be somewhere cheaper in VT, but I just checked Stowe, and a lift ticket alone is $200 a day. A one day lift ticket where we go in CO is $260. Adult group lessons + lift ticket is $350 & that doesn't include equipment rental. The upside is that, at least in Colorado, there are still lots of lodging options available. I think with inflation etc a lot of people are opting out of skiing this year. When my family member was shocked at the cost, they asked a friend who is a skier if that was in line with what they pay, and they said yes and that's why they had decided not to go this year.
