It is no kidding $36 for a cheese burger, fries and a bottle of Coke at Alpine Meadows/Palisades Tahoe.

And this is one of many reasons I love Ski Cooper. $8 beers. Many of the food items are $5-$10. See the same bartender everytime I go and she knows the beer I like there. And that's just the advantages at the lodge.

I’ve only been to ski cooper once, but it was great!

I agree, skiing is losing it's soul.

But I will say if you separate the "core" of terrain and snow from the focus distracting corporate "experience" of lodging, food, equipment sales and all that Cooper is certainly fun but the big destinations ended up big for a reason.

It's $229 for a day ticket to Palisades Tahoe/ Alpine Meadows/Squaw Olympic Valley (whatever they want it called) and $95 for Cooper. That works out to $0.20 per acre at Cooper (480 acres, 64 trails, 5 lifts) and $0.04 per acre at Palisades Tahoe (6000 acres, at least 270 trails, 42 lifts).

The intangibles like lift lines and atmosphere, indies like Cooper blow away Vail and Alterra resorts in that respect. But as much as I get your point (trust me, I do) just can't get past that it's a real shame that they've ruined such good places to ski.

I think cost per acre is a silly metric. Big or small I tend to find the runs where there is powder and trees and just stick to those most of the day. Not like you can ski the entirety of the big resorts in a day anyway. Cooper comes through in spades with powder and trees all day every day no matter when the most recent storm was. And their groomers are great too and not crowded.

Hey now, don't go disrespecting my completely made up metric.

I may be biased about Tahoe, though.

Honestly so far my favorite this year has got to be White Fish. It was also only $95 for a walk-up ticket, cool vibe.

Although it looked more like this most days.

No need to worry, there's a 4x6 area of window clear that you have to crane your neck to see out of....
