It's rare when Clint and I can go on a date in the middle of the day, but we got the chance and we took it.  We haven't been skiing in 10 years and we thought it would be super fun.  Military Day at Crystal Mountain Resort meant cut rate lift tickets and rentals.  We figured we couldn't pass it up and we even thought about bringing the kids.  Here's the smokin' deal we got:

Lift Tickets: Regular Price $70 Special Military Price $35


Ski Rentals: Regular Price $35 Special Military Price $25


Lunch: $24

Dinner for Babysitters: $35

Total Cost: $179


Had we brought the kids:

Ski school for Kids: $100 plus $15 for rentals (for each kid)

Lunch: more money

Total Additional Cost: $345

How is it that I forgot how much it cost to go skiing?  I'm not really feeling like "Military Day" was all it was cracked up to be.  Was it a sale price?  Yes.  Will we be doing that again?  Heck no.
