How we Produced this Guide

Total Cost = Equipment Rental + Lift Pass + Lunch + Accommodation

The 50 ski resorts provided data on the price of equipment rental and lift passes for the upcoming 2018-19 season. The equipment rental price includes intermediate skis, boots, and poles for one day. The lift pass price is for a full day’s skiing for an adult on a typical Saturday this season, outside of peak periods. These prices were researched in fall 2018 and may include discounts that are offered to customers who buy in advance.

The lunch price includes a cheeseburger with fries and a soda at a mid-range restaurant on the ski slopes. The lunch data was sourced using online menus. The accommodation price is the average price per person to stay in a 4-person vacation rental found on HomeToGo close to the resort, for one night between the dates of November 17, 2018 and April 20, 2019. Our own metasearch data provided this information.

All prices in USD. Please note that this is a forecast and that prices may change between now and the upcoming season. When prices for 2018-19 were not available from the resorts, we based our price forecasts on last season’s prices. Prices exclude sales tax.
