Price of a family ski vacation
THE NEWS TRIBUNE
Washington has no destination ski resorts like its neighbors, so it can be a considerably cheaper place for a family vacation.
The News Tribune called for slope-side accommodations at the most popular destination resorts in Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia as well as Crystal Mountain, Washington’s largest ski area.
The rates below are based on a family of four staying three nights and hitting the slopes for two days with a teenager and a child in lessons.
| Crystal Mountain | Mount Bachelor | Sun Valley | Whistler Blackcomb |
| Lift | $308 | $296 | $438 | $346 |
| Hotel | $570 | $627 | $1,167 | $1,680 |
| Lessons | $130 | $190 | $230 | $268 |
| Total | $1,008 | $1,113 | $1,835 | $2,294* |
