Ski trips don’t have to drain your bank account. After all, ski bums have existed for generations by sleeping on friends’ couches or in cars parked in the base-area lot. But let’s say you’d like a real bed. That’s not asking too much. And perhaps you’d prefer if that bed is closish to the hill, since that’s what you came to ski after all. Throw in a free hot breakfast and a place to stash your gear overnight and you’re one happy guest. What if we told you all of that was possible on a budget? Yep, you can stay a short jaunt from the lifts at world-class resorts for less than $100 a night, and you don’t even have to sleep on a couch. You just need to know where to look.
