I don't know why, but I had to do the math. The total cost was $320.

If they live far away from the beach, I imagine gas would he the main cost.

Let's assume gas is $4/ gallon, and they're getting about 20 miles/ gallon:

They'd have to drive 1600 miles for it to be that expensive.

That's kind of a false equivalency though because you always have to actually get to where a thing is. You can live thirty feet from a mountain and all these costs are the same as if you lived a hundred miles away.

I was just curious if it was going to put them super far from the coast. They would have to be about 400 miles away from one coast, and then drive the opposite direction, 1,600 miles, to get to the other coast lmao. (In the US)

Also, you can find a nice hill and just ski, but you won't have a lift. I lived in the San Bernardino mountains, and snowboarding and skiing was free. The big issue was safety (making sure the path was free of trees) and avoiding private property.
