Boy, you guys sure put a lot of effort into producing a quality web site. Your articles are very well-written, concise and clear. It's nice to see you've even gone as far as describing the travel/road situations, and producing your own ROI metric.
ReplyDeleteI'm now retired, but during the 90s and 00's we got our three kids out on the slopes young and often, making an adventure out of each journey. Skiing has never been inexpensive when considering everything involved, lifts, equipment, clothing, food, lessons and gas. To pay for five people to ski required a lot of bargain hunting and compromises, but it worked. You are doing many of the things I spent hours each year researching; finding the deals, the best times, providing nuts and bolts options and most importantly, focusing on the family experience. Not everyone in even a single family can or wants to ski the highest, steepest or fastest. They key is all about keeping it fun and minimizing the burdens. Yes, skiing can be a real hassle, compared to going to the beach. All the equipment and logistics, ugh!
New families arrive to the sport every year and many of the tips we've come to know bear repeating. Getting and keeping skiers on the slopes is one way we can keep our sport affordable. Fewer skiers, fewer area, fewer incentives for investment.
I suppose the next "tip" will have to involve working the angles on global warming. It's taking a toll today on the ski areas; one week cold, one week warm. Repeat. Not sure I have any answers other than to live next door to a ski hill and jump on the new snow when it comes.
Thanks for keeping this going. Been reading your material for several year, it's always insightful.
Thank you billski for the comments. You are right in-line with my thinking. Maine is a great place to get outside. I concur with your statements on Global Warming - it is going to make the "excellent snow" periods shorter. Have to be on top of it to get the best skiing. Thanks for being a loyal reader!
DeleteHi Mike, Great comparison but isn't the ROI somewhat irrelevant for the 2022-23 ski season since most ski areas have yet to announce their day ticket rates and I assume you used last season's weekend "rack" rates? Furthermore, many of the bigger MTNs have gone to dynamic pricing and are considerably higher than the rates you used to calculate the ROI. For the record, BMOM was $55 walkup weekend rates for the 2021-2022 season and with a current SP price of $445 the ROI would be 8, vice 10. The INDY pass Add Ons can really help drive those ROIs much lower. Cheers to a great season and hope to see you all out on the slopes (and the trees!). Jeff Marcoux
ReplyDeleteGood points Jeff. I had Black Mtn at $45 walk up. My bad. Using $55 bumped it down to a 9 ROI in my calculation. I do factor in Junior pass prices vs junior lift ticket as well, and that Black charges the same season pass price for all ages impacts the calculation a bit. Black is still a killer deal and a great mountain to ski 4-sure. Here is to a great season!
DeleteThe Ski Maine pass is now on sale. $565 for two tickets to almost every place in Maine. Great deal, no blackouts and fully transferable. http://skimaine.com/store/
