I just looked up ski passes for Val d'Isère, a silly expensive resort in France. 426 bloody Euros for six days!

So of course I checked this place mentioned here. Same time of year, same six days - $1590

Yanks sure love just handing their money to millionaires πŸ˜‚

Wow that is a huge difference! So in the states they don't take care of their employees while simultaneously asking customers for ridiculous prices

For $900 in Switzerland you get year access to most of the main ski resort.

I got my season pass for les porte du soleil for $570

I looked up sizes too. The US has only two resorts in the top 10 size-wise. 9 and 10 of course

They also only list their size in total acreage, not km of pistes

I know that Portes du Soleil is around 600km of pistes (I can see it from here!)

Only info I could find on the resort OP posted is that it has roughly 250km of pistes

Fuck me, I wouldn't even bother, you could do that in 2 days

Idiots pay stupid prizes then cry that daddy price gouged them.

This shot is 100% discretionary spend.
