I did the math and basically they want you to pay about $50 for gas, rent the bike, and armor seperate, and spend about $70 for meals... this is w/the exchange rate and gst about cancelling out...

it's almost the cost of a seasons pass though... and it used to be w/a pass you could get free armor rental... sticker shock I guess...

my first time up was more like this (but prices have changed/ and we only ate 1 meal)
(good exchange rate)
$29 lift ticket, $16 1/2tank gas,$99 bike rental w/gear @ Garbonzo,1 meal = $15, snacks/bevs $5 = $159
and I broke the bike 2x... and they gave me a new bike each time...

I can do it in a tank... I get around 20 of the freeway... not bad for a 4.0L Jeep engine from '89... I think it's a 22 gal tank
