Even at $72 a day, that means you'd have to ski 42 days to break even. Not to mention that you could just take an early trip to Summit County and buy a Colorado Pass for $329 which gives you unlimited days at KAB plus 10 between Vail/Beav. I've skied Heavenly once a long time ago, but I don't remember it being *so* spectacular as to justify an additional $2600 clams to go there a few times.

But that price includes airfare too doesn't it? |

I'd be curious to see how many they actually sell... -- Chester Bullock, Ethical, custom website hosting, design and programming Tenxible Solutions, http://www.tenxible.com Web Based Autoresponder and DRIP system, http://www.toolsre.com AIM: tenxible YahooIM: ccb247 |

Assuming that Frontier Airlines services your local airport (which it doesn't in my case) and all the fine print checks out. -- //-Walt // // |

I'd be tempted if it was Jackson Hole, Whistler, and SLC doing a combined air/ticket deal - but Collyrady, with their overpriced lodging? That's not much of a deal ... Yes, that's the problem. In any ski trip, the costs are usually: lodging airfare lift tickets Lodging costs are brutal, especially in a place like Vail. Dave |

But in that case you can stay in State Line casinos for less than airfare, if they allow you to fly to So. Lake Tahoe. Reno, ney.... Lodging costs are brutal, especially in a place like Vail. Dave |
