If we're at a place less than a week, and sometimes even then, we always stay ski-in/out and it costs about that much per night. For fun reference, Deer Valley St Regis is $4,000 per night for a standard king room.

Yeah, you are choosing the resort with one of the most expensive lodging and one of the most expensive properties. There are other options.

Anonymous wrote:These are prices for a week trip to CO, UT or MT

Epic passes: ~$2200 for family of 4 (no military discount, combo of unlimited passes for kids and set number of days for adults)

Flights: free with southwest points

Transportation: ~$700 (either car rental or shuttle to mountain)

condo: ~$3000 (less for Big Sky or Winter Park, more for Park City area). We typically rent a one bedroom walking distance to base or next to the parking lot so we can use the parking shuttle. Sometimes for a long weekend we stay outside of Salt Lake City and drive to Park City, that makes lodging more like $200/night and we eat dinner at fast casual restaurants.

Food: About $90/day for lunches, we try to bring some snacks and hot chocolate packets in our pockets to avoid paying $5 for stuff like that. We tend to eat breakfast and dinner in condo

Lessons: We no longer do many lessons but when we do they can be crazy expensive. Our kids are the same level so we sometimes do half day privates instead of full day lessons. Those end up being as much as $900/day including tip. But now we just do one or two when we go to a new resort. When my kids were little and we paid for 4 days of full-day lessons, the cost was close to the cost of a week beach rental.

Flights to Geneva x4 - $3200
Transport to and from resort - $400
Lift tickets x4 - $1000
Private instructor every day (everyone is a good skier but we still do this) - $400/day so $3200
Accommodation (2 bed apartment) - $1800
Food - lunches and snacks in mountain restaurants every day, dinner 4 days in restaurants and 4 days in apartment, breakfast in apartment every day - $1500
Ski equipment rentals - $800


Total - around $12000. We could definitely have avoided the instructor splurge but we enjoy that, so if you remove that then more like $9000. We could also have chosen more luxury accommodation (or spent even less if we chose a one bed apartment) so some of this is variable.

Sorry this doesn’t help me at all. I ski in Europe all the time and know how much it costs. I needed to know how much it costs in the U.S.
