USA and CANADA - Expensive or what!!!!

I have been looking at spending Xmas and New Year in North America this year but cant believe how expensive the prices have become!!! :shock:

I know its the festive season and that gives carte blanche for rip off prices, but I have skied Colorado, California, and a good few resorts in West Canada over the past few years and have always been able to find a reasonably priced break.

For 14 nights we are looking at £2500 each, and then there is the lift pass at around £750.( And I'm talking a Comfort Inn type place, not the White House!!)

Are Europeans being priced out the market for a reason? Maybe some of our North American contributors could let us know why they no longer seem to want our custom? :?

Mate im from australia and I got a weeks accom for 3 people (2 adults 1 child) in mid jan in whistler in a deluxe studio with 3 lift passes for about $1400...thats $ not £....great deal

Jackson Hole £1054pp, 14 nights from Heathrow. BUT, BUT, BUT, it is the American close living style, 4 to a room. Two huge double beds. So, if you really like your friends......
I have done this, in Whistler, and another time, 2 couples in two singles, Austrian bed style..... but a man's really gotta love his skiing!
It is true about the lift pass £750ish for 13 days.

Hence why I have only skied Europe

Yep, considering the lift passes cost about that price that is a brilliant deal. I assume flights will be extra?

Yes...flights extra...a bit over $2000 pp from sydney direct to vancouver

You are looking in the wrong places. Try Utah as well, powder baby, powder up to you behind.....

Try beaver creek Colorado, go to rbi website, look at condos, 329 for 7 days. Nice restaurants and grocery stores.
