Liam,
I hear ya with the cost of flying, it sure can chew up a big chunk of the skiing budget, hmmm which chews up a fair amount of my recreational budget. I really want to return to Jackson, but the air fare to a remote airport coupled with baggage fees, and, then the steep lift tickets at an area with no competition, has me looking at options.
I'm doing the Epic Tahoe gathering. Found a great Southwest deal with no baggage fees, Tahoe Pass for 6 days of skiing @300, splitting a group home and group car rental. The total price for all that is $1100. I'm smiling. Local ski club trips doing a similar thing would have it price around $1700. I've just joined Southwest's Visa Card, and with my next purchase, get a pair of Round Trip tics for me and the Tennis Diva.
I'm considering joining Bushwacker's Epic adventure and doing the Stowe area ski around in later March. I do like your idea of chasing storms as I can be in K'ton in less than 6 hours. Last year I hit a storm dump and had 3 pretty good pow days. (But don't tell that to Bush as he says my Kastle 88's can't ski powder
)
I remember when my 2 kids were still at home and skiing for just a day was a major hit. But, they are the days of your life and my kids still remember and talk about the fun. Then they went to college and the costs really zoomed.
I salute all who raise and ski with their kids, very unselfish!
