Killington rental house:
$1250 http://www.vrbo.com/639788, ski in ski out, sleeps 8, 3 bedrooms, assume 2 families, $625/family.  For 4 skiers would be a total of $1135 for condo plus lift tickets.  I'd love to add at least two half days of lessons for the kids for $302, so we're up to $1437.  Tolls ($40), road food ($80), and gas $120.  $1680.  Assume that the ski-in-ski-out eliminates the need for buying beer and food and hot chocolate at the lodge, ie saves a lot of money.  If we shift the check-in date to Friday (pull the kids out of school at noon on Friday and drive up, arriving around bedtime, it adds $300.  So if we arrive Fri and ski sat-sun-mon, it costs each family $150 more.  If we add a day and do sat-sun-mon-tues, we add $250/family for condo, plus another day's lift tickets.
