Ski Lift Ticket and Rental Cost: 4 People, $912.00
Put your people, days, ticket price and rental price in: 4 people for 2 days at $89 a ticket and $25 rental a day pay $712 for tickets and $200 for rentals — $912 in all, $228 a person, $456 a day. This is the ski lift ticket and rental cost tool: people times days times ticket is the ticket bill, people times days times rental is the rental bill, and the two together are the trip's lift bill — a ticket price alone tells you nothing until the group size, the days and the rentals are counted.
What does $912.00 mean?
It means 4 people skiing 2 days at $89 a ticket and $25 rental a day pay $712 for tickets and $200 for rentals, $912 in all, $228 a person and $456 a day. The people set the group, the days stretch it, the ticket sets each day on the lift and the rental sets each day on hired gear: one more person adds $228 at the defaults, while one more day adds $456. The only judgement is the ticket price itself and the rental price itself — read both off the resort price list, since a guessed price settles the whole bill wrong.

Three things to check before you trust the number
First, check the ticket price against the resort list: $89 must be the price actually charged for the skiers in this group, not a remembered gate price — child rates, peak-day rates and multi-day discounts all move it, and a ticket price that is wrong by $10 is wrong by $80 for 4 people over 2 days.
Second, check what the rental actually covers: $25 must be the price for the gear actually hired, not a headline ski-only figure — boots, poles and a helmet are sometimes extra, and a damage waiver is sometimes added at the desk, so the rental on the quote and the rental at the till can differ.
Third, check the days against the days actually skied: 2 must be ski days, not resort days — a travel day with no skiing adds nothing to the lift bill, while a third day on the snow adds the full $456 at the defaults.
Worked example
4 people, 2 days, $89 a ticket, $25 rental a day. Tickets: 4 × 2 × $89 = $712. Rentals: 4 × 2 × $25 = $200. Total: $712 + $200 = $912. Per person: $912 ÷ 4 = $228. Per day: $912 ÷ 2 = $456. In practice that means a family weekend on the slopes costs just over nine hundred dollars for lift and gear, and the $228 a person figure is the one to set against each skier's share, since it already includes both the ticket and the rental.

The reverses, worked backwards
People behind 4 people — at the lower neighbor the figures are Ski lift ticket and rental cost $456.00 in all (2 people, 2 days, $89.00 ticket a person a day, $25.00 rental a person a day, $356.00 tickets, $100.00 rentals, $228.00 a person, $228.00 a day).. at the upper neighbor the figures are Ski lift ticket and rental cost $1,368.00 in all (6 people, 2 days, $89.00 ticket a person a day, $25.00 rental a person a day, $1,068.00 tickets, $300.00 rentals, $228.00 a person, $684.00 a day)..

What the defaults assume
The defaults assume 4 people, 2 days, $89 a ticket and $25 rental a day, at one resort, with everyone in the group skiing and hiring gear. They do not assume lessons, food, travel or lodging — so treat $912 as the lift-and-rental bill for 4 people over 2 days, and add the rest of the trip separately.
Who uses this
- A family planning a ski weekend: the $912 is the figure to set against the trip budget before lessons, food and travel.
- A group splitting the bill: the per-person figure is what each skier fairly owes, tickets and rentals together.
- A skier comparing passes: the per-day figure shows what each extra day on the mountain really adds.
- A parent pricing a school trip: the ticket-and-rental split shows exactly where the money goes for each child.
Accuracy & limitations
The arithmetic is exact for the inputs entered; the judgement is the ticket price actually charged, the rental actually hired, the people actually skiing and the days actually skied. Real bills vary with peak pricing, multi-day discounts, child rates and bundled passes — so treat $912 as the lift-and-rental bill for 4 people over 2 days at $89 a ticket and $25 rental a day, and check it against the resort price list before budgeting it as exact.

Frequently asked questions
How much do ski lift tickets cost for 4 people for 2 days?

Do multi-day passes change the price?
Yes, the per-day ticket often falls on a multi-day pass: enter the actual per-day price from the resort list, not the single-day gate price.
