The cost of skiing

I'e been too scared to add it all up in case I think we should cancel :(

Here goes

Cost for 5 ( 2 adults 3 kids at Saalbach Euro 2300
Cost for 5 at Kitzbuhel Euro 2700 Includes ski pass
Cost for lift passes ( Kitzbuheler Alpen pass for both regions 2 weeks) Euro 1220

Cost for 1 daughter to learn to snowboard at Saalbach(given up skiing :( Euro 266
Cost for ski school for son and other daughter Euro 460
Cost for snowboard school at Kitzbuhel Euro 260 (includes lunch at least)
Ski hire for all (no boots) Euro 800
Airfares from Abu Dhabi to Munich Euro 3500

Total I'm adding it up :shock: Euro 11506 :shock: :shock: :shock:

And I wanted 2 trips this year - I will dream on :cry:

Good effort Cwagner.

You must love the snow (and your kids can't you leave em at home it would save a fortune and allow the second trip) :mrgreen:!!

OH




MY





GOD

Yeah, I know guys - the cost of kids )

Why do people take baby goats ski-ing????? :?:

I think I got a pretty good deal here, going in the last week of Jan to Chamonix to meet up with some mates;

Flight: £70 to Geneva
Transfer: £50 return (anyone have a cheaper way?)
3* appartment: £95
Ski hire (no boots): £80
Mont Blanc Unltd: £212

Le grande total = £507

I think thats a fair old deal for a week.

Hopefuly the best mate barman can help with the beer fund. Think I'm going to take food with me haha

And was I in for a shock this year I shall be spending £4600 on two ski holidays nearly £3k of that is driving to LGb next January and £1.6k on Livigno in March, I'm seriously thinking about not driving in 2011, I'll possible save a grand !!!!!!!! :evil:

That does sound expensive Ian. Have you ever considered cheap flight options. Ryanair in particular do some really cheap flights to ski destinations. They seem to be quite customer orientated too. Worth a try.

I'll think I'll pass on that one thanks Brucie :wink:

Wonderful tasting burgers in loads of varieties at the Poco Loco in the main shopping street in Chamonix. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside!
