    • Yes but, you have sled fuel, truck/travel fuel to add in there. It's expensive to travel, stay, ride sleds, no doubt. Many dont have some of our options. We can cherry pick weekends, or costs. Or we can look at the masses that have to trailer hundreds of miles, and dont have the option for cheap lodging and food options.    Travel to location, hotel/motel for 2-4 days, restaurant food (at least 2 meals a day). This doesnt even count the start up costs to get in. Sleds, trailer, tow rig, clothing, safety gear, maintenance items for daily use... We are kidding ourselves if we think this is "affordable". Be honest, the only reason our kids are in it is because, we pay for everything for them, and they are doing it because, we are into it. Ski   
    • Again, this perspective is awesome - and helps to make my point. $190.00 per person - accommodations and food ( great deal - way cheaper than most ) $150.00 for sled fuel $50 for vehicle fuel ( split up - 2 ways )   That is still almost a $500.00 weekend - on the VERY conservative side of things. So......, how many $500.00 weekends does a young person have in their budget after taking into consideration the normal COST OF LIVING;   I would say on average - the average person ( sledders here - not CEO's - they are out there -but not the norm ) - how many $500.00 weekends to people have in them to keep themselves riding?   Looking at my own scenario - it was almost $500.00 this weekend -with free fuel to Huntsville and back, free accommodations and all but 2 meals provided by someone else.      
    • If you can find a good Airbnb, that's worth it.  We were at one in Tory Hill a couple of weekends ago.  There was 11 of us and it was $1500 for the weekend.  Split that up and split the cost for food that was brought up, it was $190 per guy for the weekend.
    • Yup, and that leads to my point. I am lucky to have that Many are not - so when you add up the costs of accommodations - to make my point
