First thing that comes to mind is deer valley, a few seasons back it got up to 130$ for a day.

On liftopia(www.liftopia.com) I found a resort in Colorado who's lift ticket price used to be 200$ a day.

What is the highest price you have seen/paid?

Rules;
single day, no cat or heli skiing. Chair accessed resort.

Most of the big resorts out here in Colorado are about 130$ a day peak season. A Basin is 70 for a day pass right now already!

For day tickets, Vail perhaps, but Jackson has really expensive season passes (~$2000).

That's absolutely disgusting. You'd have to get an eight hour full day in for that price and still feel ripped off.

best part about skiing around Ottawa is that if you want to get out of your regular hill for a day all you have to pay is $25.

For an east coast resort, 7 springs. The only reason I can afford to ski there is cause everyone in my family works for the resort.

Skiing is for two types of people...the local diehards who scrape by running the resort....and the wealthy who can afford to spend that type of money to ski.

those are definitely not the budgets for most of the people here, you must have a complex. most people will put forward under a thousand to new gear. most people i know drive cars well under the 6-7000 dollars range. not to mention both of those are one time purchases and a car will last you a decade and is necessary for all parts of life...

$50 in gas? most people i know also don't spend $25 in gas one way. even at 20 miles to the gallon, that's like 2 hours each way. and 50 dollars at the lodge? come on. who doesn't split a 30 rack and pack sandwiches?

you are either trolling or living in a weird weird world

meh, kinda missed the point, i'm talking about most people who visit resorts that purchase day tickets...and maybe the NE is different but a 1.5 hour 60mile one-way commute is pretty common, at least in the PNW

the point was this: people don't mind spending their money on ski gear, luxury cars, hotel rooms, plane tickets etc etc to go skiing, but if the lift ticket is over $100 they be like "WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS BULLSHIT, HOW CAN PEOPLE EVEN SKI THIS IS A RIP OFF L:KAJH:LKGHL"

also, on a related note, why is it that everybody has a reason not to pay full price lift tickets/season pass? "i've been skiing here for years, i should get a discount" "i only ski park, i shouldn't have to pay full price" "i'm a college student, i should get a discount...we're broke" the sense of entitlement (from the group that claims to love skiing/support the industry the most) is really, really weird

I would say entry to the yellowstone club is probably the most expensive.

Skied for free all season last season.
Me and my friend were going every day for about 4 hours a day. It started with us just sneaking on the first few times, to us being really friendly and nice to all the lefties and them assuming we had a season pass. Will try again this year.

Granite peak in Wisconsin is $80... They make most of their snow so they have no choice but to charge as much as some western resorts.
