Given that I get my passes with work, and eat out a lot, my spending is in entirely the other direction.

Since my mom works at one mountain I ski at, and has friends who work at the other, I pay nothing for Waterville only, and $10 for New England Pass (Loon, Sunday River, Sugarloaf). I also live with my parents as I am in high school and therefore am provided with food. This thread has effectively shown me the great things I have done for me. It has also struck fear into me for when i have to live on my own and buy my own shit. Hope I don't have to buy a new car anytime soon.

Are you talking about Gold/Silver passes?

They're not really multi-mtn. in the sense that Epic passes are though. I don't need 30 days to every mountain in Utah. It'd be sick if you could mix up the resorts you wanted from the different canyons. Like PC/Alta/B-town or Basin/Bird/Soli...

I find that is one of the wierdest things about Utah. We have all these amazing resorts, but it can be hard to actually get up and ride all of them.

Yeah, but slc is probably one of the cheapest places to live in terms of Rent, Gas, Groceries, etc.

Well, it kind of depends on the size of house. 300-400 usually for a room, ive heard 250 for some people but they either lived in a shitty house or with like 8 people. Getting a 1-2 bed apartment is little more expensive, ive seen 1bed places for like 500-700 and 2bed for like 700-900 kinda deals in slc. Granted, I haven't looked in detail for awhile, I think its still pretty similar. If you pay over 400 for rent in slc you better have a nice ass house haha

seasons passes are expensive in BC. I got mine early bird back in May for around $700. Unfortunately, my girlfriend dropped the ball on her end and still hasn't bought one yet. Since I have more money than her, I'm going to pay for around half of her pass at full price, which will be around another $500 out of my pocket.

So for $1200, I'd say the only thing I've spent MORE money on is my car.

$300 for 450 ft. vertical. High school life so fed for nearly free. Only problem is my car. Fuck BMW's. I was granted a 6.50i by my father, but it's a gas slut and I has to pay for maintnence with a job at chase bank. I'd say I have it pretty well.
