I took the wife and 4 kids to Crested Butte for a week between Christmas and New Years. First time anyone of us ever been and wanted to experience it. The cost for 6 people to rent equipment, 2 days of ski school, plus lift tickets was outrageous. Total trip cost 15k and I will never ever go back.
In my opinion if they would make it cheaper for people learning... (not even using the lift tickets) more people would learn to ski and they would get way more repeat costumers.

Our ski area is owned by the city and it's much less expensive than the mega resorts. I think most private small areas are struggling to compete with the larger areas right now which is a shame. There are quite a few that have great terrain and no lines. I think people pay more for the megaresorts based solely on name recognition. A little research can save you money and avoid the crowds.
