That's a crazy good price. I needed to rent a supersize SUV there once. Ended up renting from the Alamo in town rather than the airport, saved over $1000.

for an "Audi Q3 or similar"! the shitty 2016 subaru i had queued up on turo for montana was like 2x the price of this luxury suv from reputable company

What dollar is that? Its worth 10% less than it was last year at this time. Sept 2021 was the last time the dollar had so little value compared to the Euro. I guess it's good compared to 10-15 years ago, but sure was nice in the early 2000s when it was worth more than the Euro.

As for the original question, I'm heading the Midwest again. Main focus is WI this time, but plan to hit some PA, IN, IA, IL, MN, MI also. Also going to Tahoe Epic areas trip.
Sure, not quite as high as '22 or last year BUT you do get a ton for your $$$

Looks like you do get a lot of nice add-ons, but $2500 for a week (I assume 7 ski days?) still sounds like a lot to me.

Yeah, not terrible, but I'm feeling it because I'm probably going to be buying a pinball machine from Europe, the extra 10% compared to last year is a good sized hit. Not sure whether tariffs will get me, the game is old enough that it's mostly American parts.
