An article about how expensive skiing can be.  Or it can be dirt cheap. Most of us are spending almost zero on skiing Blue this weekend.

I've spent exactly zero skiing Blue since 59 months ago when I spent $597 on 3 passes that got us 42 ski days for $14.25/person/day.

That's truly a bargain to ski Blue the True. These days you can't even get a hot toddy for $14.25

That seems high for your car. Over 10 gallons of gas?  Are you counting your Wawa coffee as part of the expense.

Gas: $20

wawa: $7

I had a customer come up from somewhere in south jersey and took all back road to save money on the tolls.

I found Ski2Live's post very informative. The most important thing is to minimize cost per ski trip.

You’re correct, minimizing costs is very important. I would have paid you $5.97 to not make that post.

@Ski2Live Live2Ski Great analytical post. Do you also have a breakdown per person per day that factors in gas, hot cocoa costs and car depreciation? Is this data available on a per run basis as well?
