[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are trying to book a spring break trip now (last week of March) and prices seem absolutely insane.

I'm seeing flights from all local airports to Salt Lake in the $800+ range and that's if you fly back on a redeye, which doesn't work with small kids (3 kids under 12).

So we're looking at likely $5000 just to get there. Then $1500 to rent a suburban for a week.

A rental within walking distance to a lift is going to be close to $10k at least.

We already have passes and skis, and food will be similar to food at home, so i'll exclude that, but not sure how we do this for less than $16k.

Any tips on airfare? That is the toughest thing to stomach. [/quote]
Are you absolutely set on Salt Lake? [/quote]

We are on Epic so could go to Vail/Beavercreek/Keystone/etc. I looked and Denver or even Eagle is slightly less for plane tickets but still seems to be almost $800/ticket unless we fly Frontier, and i'm not sure that would end up less in the long run with luggage fees. Lodging is more in Vail/Beavercreek at first glance so I think it evens out with Park City.

I've skied Keystone and don't love it, and i know it could be a little less expensive. I've also skied Breck and do like it but am not sure I want to sleep at 10,000 feet.

[b]So the prices I quoted above could come down if we cram everyone into a 2 bedroom, go to Keystone, but would still be $12k I think. [/b]

I've been looking at Salt Lake flights for months and i think they've been this high for a while. [/quote]

How many people are in your party? We are a family of three and usually get a 1 bedroom condo on vacation. Occasionally we get a 2 bedroom but most of the time its the pull out sofa for DD. We are out most of the days skiing so we don't need a ton of space. [/quote]
