[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ve gotten some good advice. From experience with my own DD in a similar relationship with similar level of wealth — Just because they are rich don’t assume they are generous. Make sure she can pay her way if needed. [/quote]

Of course OP should do that.

Why in the world should the other family pay just because they have money? That is absurd.

I would never expect any other family to pay for my kids vacation.

OP is looking for her kid to marry into a weathly family the boy should run.[/quote]

Stop saying rude things about OP.  She just wants to know what to expect and for her daughter not to appear poor or clueless.  Totally understandable.

Ski vacations are a lot of money for people with even 90th %ile+ HH incomes.  The development of the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass, etc.  have helped a lot for people who can plan ahead BUT these passes are only for people who ski a lot AND there are blackout days at the major holidays.  Because the holidays are the major profit opportunity for the resorts.

Being invited on a ski vacation at Christmas is more like being invited to the Superbowl or Eras concert and having to find your own ticket at last minute.  Unless you get lucky, have a friend or a special deal, the price is steep.[/quote]

It’s true that Epic passes are no longer for sale. It’s not true that the holidays are blacked out, they are just an upcharge. We bought 4 day Epic passes and had to pay an upcharge for access the last week of Dec and a second upcharge to make the passes valid at Vail and BC. In all I think they were 500-something a person bought a few months ago. [/quote]
