[quote=Anonymous]Are ski/snowboard family vacations crazy expensive?

Yes, ski vacations are expensive.  Even if you slum it at Liberty or Whitetail, it can be expensive.  The reason Liberty and Whitetail cost so much, aside from Epic evilness, is their winters are so short.  Their window for making money gets shorter every year.

I love everything about Utah and Colorado, but I can't justify the money for a trip out there to ski.  For a family of four, you are probably looking at $4,000 before you even get to the mountains.  This is probably a conservative estimate, but flights, shuttles or rental car, and airport parking/UBER adds up.

I'm not a ski snob, or maybe I am, but I can't do Liberty or Whitetail any more.  The conditions are usually terrible, trails are short and it's expensive.  Locally, I will ski Wisp, Timberline or Canaan.  If conditions are good, I will drive to Vermont.  Vermont's not cheap, but like a prior poster noted, it's cheaper than out west and logistically it's easier.
