It’s an investment at first, if you want to go a lot. but once you have the gear it’s only about $50 a day to get 6+ hours of skiing in, or if you rent about $100 a day for rented gear and tickets. Lifts only take like 10-15 minutes to get you to the top of the mountain and you can hit 3 runs or more on the way down. You’ll spend more time actually skiing than waiting if you go to a modern mountain with the fast lifts. And the exhilaration you get from bombing down the mountain is unmatched by anything else. On top of the fresh air and beautiful views, it is pure joy.
