I rented a 4WD SUV ($500), absolutely necessary given the crappy job they do on maintaining the Trans-Canada Highway, rather than just taking a cab from the airport. I bought the extra insurance ($50) but still had to pay the deductible ($500) to replace the windshield which cracked when hit by the gravel they use on the Highway rather than just plowing aggressively like we do in Colorado. I bought a tank of gas ($100). I paid for a lift ticket ($75), the $20 rebate being of no use to me whatsoever. Total bill for my one day of Canada skiing, $1425."
