Replying to Dumb $$ Question

Maybe this is a dumb question but I gotta ask it anyway
How the fuck do you afford to take trips?
I mean skiing is expensive as fuck, do you guys save all summer and go for a few weekends in the winter? Did you save and move to your desired area? Or do you have awesome jobs that pay a lot?
I mean after rent, food and insurance there's not much money left to just dip for a while, especially with the price of gas nowadays.
Do you only take one or two trips a year or have you found a way to make multiple trips a season work?
