It's a one bedroom condo that is equipped (queen bed in bedroom, pull out sofa in living room) to sleep four people. I am happy on the floor so I won't snore in a stranger's ear. Total cost right now is 640 dollars for 3 days lift ticket and 2 night lodging.
That price of 640 dollars is the package price for two people skiing. Additional lift tickets can be purchased as part of the package for a discounted price of around 60 bucks a day, for a total of up to four people per the room. Any additional folks who want to crash would have to pay full cost of tickets. The additional ticket purchases can be made up to 48 hours in advance of check in. After that, it's full price.
So that means if we can get a group of four people in the room, we would have to increase the price by about 240 dollars (two days tickets for two people, Friday tickets are "complimentary" per Snowshoe staff. Sooooo 640 dollars plus 240 dollars is 880 bucks split four ways comes to 220 dollars per person. Seems a little steep but 3 days skiing, 2 nights lodging, slopeside, pool/hot tub, bar on premise. It's at Silver Creek. You can step outside of the joint, step into your bindings, and be making tracks. While not at the hub of Snowshoe proper, there are frequent shuttles to the main basin area.
Just myself and another person, it would be 320/person, three people in the room, have to increase the 640 by 120 to cover the tickets, split three ways is 254 a person.
That's 74 dollars a day for lodging and ski tickets if four people get together. 85/day for three people, 108/day for 2 people.
Check in is at 4 pm on Friday, but you can check in early and get your lift pass, then come back later to occupy the room. Check out is 11 am. on Sunday.
I plan to pack a cooler for adult beverages and lunch/breakfast, probably eat dinners at the resort somewhere, I dunno. It's a full ski village with different eateries, shops, bars, blah blah blah. I am not a party hound but not adverse to having a couple of drinks at the end of the day. I just want to make sure I am in shape for first tracks the next morning. Nothing is better than ripping down Cupp or Shay's for breakfast before anyone else has shaken off their hangover.
Please come and join me. I promise to keep my pile of crap out of the way, I'll even share my bourbon and peanut butter. Hell, I'd even show you my secret pow stashes but I don't know of any. Weather wise it's shaping up to be a great weekend for snow.
