you have to think like an accountant on this one. yes you spent that much in one day, but if you allocate the cost over the entire season it doesnt sting as much. plus think of all the memories, friendships and health benefits of being outside and being active you just paid for. its like paying for a vacation, match.com, and a gym membership but way better.

bread, eggs, 50cent per lb chicken, rice, beans, tortillas, instant mashed potatoes, cock sauce, all for less than 15 dollars, 40 is easy dude, I used to have to watch my spending, cutting out delivery food and eating out and looking for killer deals can get you by for almost nothing.

well $900/18weeks is actually $50. That does me pretty well, I dont eat out, this doesnt include my beer money, just food. Which if you think about it at $50 a week that gives me roughly $7.25 a day for food. Pretty reasonable for one person.


Also Saga, point on with that post. When I consider how much enjoyment i will get out of skiing from November to May (maybe later?) its an easy choice!

I dont eat out at all. I do tend to buy local small farmer organic produce wich can get expensive. plus lots of bread, eggs, potatoes, rice, peanut butter etc.

Having 21 meals in a week minimum means you're spending about $2 a meal max.

Either you plan on eating nothing or I'm not sure...ramen?? I wanna know your plan if this is possible though.

most hills around here have a 5 days + 7 nights pass (just can't ski Sat and Sun during day) for $100. pretty sweet deal.

We don't have multi-mountain passes... (alta/bird doesn't count)

College passes are $400-700 per mtn.
Adult passes are $800-1200 per mtn.

I would hate to be dropping $1k+ on one pass.  Seems like the best deal is the Epic pass.  One of the many reasons I'm hoping to live in CO when I get out of school.

I guess the east coast has it a little better: Seven Springs is only 310 for us college students; last year I only dropped $240 on my pass to Wisp.  Although when I went to Killington I what'd hard when I saw that a pass there is over a grand.

You spend $900 dollars on food in 4 months? Or is it less? I feel like I spend no more than $200 a month and I could go cheaper
