By the numbers:
person Cost of pass Days cost per day special note
Me $2,567 75 $34.25 caught 3 start of season rope drops
Wife $1801 42 $42.90 broken foot missed 2 months
Son $374 104 $3.60 100 Days and straight A's
Daughter (ugh) $374 7 $53.42 bought food on hill every day
Other fun highlights.
Campground lift didn't open till second week of February. It was a shit snow year---if we didn't live on a ski run in snowmass those numbers would be much much lower (And the cost per ski day much higher).
My daughter hates HATES skiing. Only done with friends under extreme duress. And then offset by buying food on hill.
I never bought food on hill. I didn't ski Aspen this winter (COVID gondola fears), nor Buttermilk (with no Bacon why go?)
Wife broke her foot in a COVID (maybe) haze in early November---her insurance paid out $766 which is why her lift ticket costs are less.
Best question on a chair lift from someone from North Carolina---'does the snow ever get too deep for you to ski?' My knee jerk asshole response was 'NO'. But to be honest the season opening rope drop on the rolling blacks off of high alpine the snow really was too deep on the flat sections---was kinda humorous to watch everyone hit the flat bits and just come to a halt.
Second best question from an out of town guest. "are lift tickets really that expensive? Is there some secret to getting less expensive lift tickets" Yes they are that expensive and no there isn't a way to get less expensive tickets---maybe ICON but you got to read the fine print and it doesn't help much if you only ski 5 days a year.
So that is it for this year---a lot of quick short days made possible by home location, with many of those not very entertaining but heck its always nice to get outside and let electricity take you up and gravity take you down.
