A Family Ski Trip by the Numbers 

Estimated read time 1 min read

In case you are wondering how much a ski trip costs, here are some numbers to consider. It’s not completely accurate accounting but close enough.

4 days in Park City 

2 days of skiing 

5 lift tickets 

5 ski rentals 

45 minutes it took to go from putting on gear in parking lot to sitting on chair lift

1 bathroom out of 2 bathrooms with hot water in the vacation rental 

25 times I said I will never stay in a vacation rental again 

500 times we cursed the narrow driveway leading to vacation rental and there was not even snow obstructing it. 

2 times someone arrived at the ski lodge without a jacket 

1 time someone arrived at ski lodge without snow boots 

58 times kids complained about legs hurting 

2 teeth that fell out 

2 kids who lost teeth

1 trip to urgent care for strep test (it was negative)

8 times in one morning I said this is the longest holiday break ever.

1 million happy thoughts from seeing all the kids enjoy skiiing.

Total cost: have not done final accounting yet but probably $5 million dollars if you factor in emotional labor.
