In these tough times we are facing (economically speaking) it is important that we not only watch our finances closely but that we make the most of every penny! Let’s face it, we as Americans, still need our vacations. And most of us are going to take them, we’ll be a bit smarter about where we go and how we spend the money but we are going to get away for a bit. For most of us in the winter months this means a ski vacation. So how can we make the most of our dollar – well here’s something to think of. Have you ever wondered how much of your time you are wasting getting ski rentals? At the price of tickets these days it’s quite a bit of money. Say you have 5 people in your family – each of you paying $90+ a day for a lift ticket, now think back to the last time you were in a rental shop, how long did you wait 1/2 hr, 1hr, 1 1/2? Let’s say it takes the family an hour to get fitted. There are roughly 7 hours you can ski in a day, now you have six. You have effectively lost 5 hours of skiing (1 hr/person) That’s roughly $65 dollars you have wasted – not to mention any ski time you lose returning the gear. Want a solution? Try an aspen ski shop that delivers! They will deliver till late at night or first thing in the morning, before many other shops open – oh and the big thing, no waiting in line, they are only there for you!
