[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a sophomore and has been dating a nice young man since her 2nd semester.  This will be her fast time traveling with him.  She will be meeting his family and joining them at their ski house.  We are nervous about this since her boyfriend is from a far more affluent background than we are - we have met him once and he is very likeable so hopefully his family will be as well.  Should she bring a hostess gift for the mother? Also should she assume that she will be covering her own lift tickets, meals, and what not ? Really wanting this trip to go well for her.[/quote]

I haven't read the entire thread, but I am sympathetic to this situation. But from the opposite side - boy dating a rich girl. And they go to Vail bc family and all that.

A basic lift ticket is more than $300 for one day at a place like Vail. If you have to rent equipment, add another $200. Food and whatnot, another $100. So it's $600 minimum per day just to go up and down the hill - as a guest of a family when presumably lodging is taken care of. So 5 days - $3000. That is nothing for a wealthy family, but it's a lot for a college kid that has to think about money. And he's just a guest. It's not like he's planning this vacation.

My kid decided F that. We can do snowshoeing and skating and explore the area. But it become clear he's not rolling with this family and this lifestyle - which was very much a private plane kind of world. They broke up. And now he is in a much more healthy relationship with a wonderful young woman who is MC/UMC. It's so much easier when people are living in the same world.
