sorry for the spam, I'm going to copy-pasta some of my googling and assumptions here for people to correct and discuss...
I'm assuming people will be choosing accommodation like something on this page: http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1¢ralreslodgingtypeid=3 ...and probably the bigger the better? at the top end camp teocalli<http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1&lodgingsiteid=1> sleeps up to 20 at 600USD a night at that time of season... <http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1&firstresult=11&resultsperpage=10&sortby=lodgings.minrate&lodgingid=767> *Camp Teocalli*<http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1&firstresult=11&resultsperpage=10&sortby=lodgings.minrate&lodgingid=767>from $450.00*Vacation Home - Town of Crested Butte* Planning an event? This home is perfect for large groups! 7 bedrooms + loft 3 1/2 bath, 4 Queen, 4 Twin, 1 Full, 1 Full + 1 Twin Pull Out Sofa, 1 Full/Twin Bunk, sleeps 1 to 20 people, no smoking, pets considered deck, dishwasher, gas fplc, laundry, sleeper, sunroom, views, wet bar but scratch that, no wifi! something like this is probably more reasonable: http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1&lodgingid=6 175 a night <http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1&lodgingid=6> *Brooke's Retreat*<http://www.completesite.com/staycrestedbutte/page.cfm?pageid=1482¢ralressiteid=1&lodgingid=6>from $125.00*Cabin - Town of Crested Butte* Classic Crested Butte creek-side cabin 1 bedroom 1 bath, 1 Queen, 1 Double & 2 Double Fold Out Couches, sleeps 1 to 8 people, no smoking, pets allowed sauna, loft, views, WiFi, laundry, char grill, creekside, deck, dishwasher, dvd, gas fplc let me know if I'm looking at the wrong resort, but I think lift tickets are here: http://www.skicb.com/cbmr/mountain/lift-tickets.aspx Nov. 24th - Dec. 17 Dec. 18 - Apr. 3 Days Skiing Window Online Window Online Half Day $45 NA $63 NA 1 Day $59 NA $87 NA 2 of 3 Days $118 $112 $174 $165 3 of 5 Days $177 $168 $261 $249 4 of 6 Days $236 $224 $348 $332 5 of 7 Days $275 $248 $415 $375 6 of 8 Days $330 $297 $498 $450 7 of 10 Days $385 $347 $581 $525 the afternoon pass looks like the business, unless you want to skive off and go skiing that is ;-) 7days skiing would be 441USD as opposed to 525USD. I'm tossing up whether to bring my gear or just hire, equipment rental is here: http://www.skicb.com/cbmr/mountain/equipment-rentals.aspx Package Descriptions Sport Ski Package *- (Adult) $29.00 / day (Junior) $19.00 / day *This package includes your choice of 4 different shaped skis for beginners to advanced intermediate skiers. If you are not sure which model will suit you best, our technicians will assist you. The boots in this package are the Dalbello MXR or a new Salomon Performa 500, both are considered to be one of the best fitting, best performing and easiest to use rental boots. *Elite Ski Package - **(Adult) $40.00 / day (Junior) $35.00 / day** *This package is ideal for strong intermediate to expert skiers who want the highest level of performance and comfort.

This packages allows for you to switch models and try a different ride throughout your stay. So you'd be looking at 203 for the sport ski package for the week, or 280 for the elite. plus food and alcohol, which would easily run to another hundred a day I guess? accom ~700 (quite a range in here depending how many in the house...) food+drink ~700 (most likely more?) lift tickets ~440 ski hire ~200 ~ 2000USD just for on-snow expenses, not counting the getting there or back, or roundup rego fees. ok I need a stiff drink after looking at all those numbers! the answer is to just commit and then the budget will happen! which brings me to my big question, of how people coordinate lifts and share-housing? Does anyone have any good advice from their first year on how to find house-buddies and hitch lifts? I'm thinking I need to send in some audio feedback... <http://www.visitcrestedbutte.com/navigate.cfm?nav=accommodations.cfm> On 30 December 2010 02:37, Matthew Kerle <mattke...@gmail.com> wrote: > sorry, another n00b question here...
