1-day lift tickets are $328/adult, $213/child up to age 12.

So for our family of 4, it would be $1,082/day for just the lift tickets.

Remember that next tiem people complain about Disney World being expensive! [/quote]

We used to ski in VT for $15-$30 per day. The prices now are criminal. [/quote]

What year? Decades ago in 1985?

Maintaining a ski resort (equipment and staff) are expensive and it's a relatively short season to boot. The cost is passed on to the consumer. This isn't a novel idea.

And now PC is dealing with a worker strike for increased wages...so be prepared to pay more to offset staff wages.

And have you ever purchased a high speed quad (chair lift)? Or a snow gun? Or pay the lease for a mtn in a national forest?

And these costs don't even include expansion projects which most ski resorts aim for to entice investors  or appeal to customers,

The increase in the price of lift tickets have has far far outpaced inflation. [/quote]

The increase in daily lift ticket prices is a result of the Vail Resorts strategy of pushing the Epic pass.  They have deliberately increased regular lift ticket prices to make the Epic pass the economical choice unless you’re only skiing one or two days a year.  Many other mountains and groups (I.e Ikon) are now following the same strategy.[/quote]
