Ski trips are expensive enough. Splitting them shouldn't add stress.
Track every shared cost -- from the cabin rental to the last round of apres-ski drinks. Handle different skill levels, rental needs, and dining preferences without a spreadsheet.
This is for you if...
- ✓You booked the cabin and need to get everyone to pay their share
- ✓Some people are renting gear and others brought their own
- ✓Half the group wants expensive dinners, the other half wants to cook
- ✓You don't want to spend the car ride home doing math
Ski trips have more expense categories than almost any other group trip. The right tool keeps it manageable.
Built for complex group trips
Are We Even handles the layered expenses of ski trips -- where some costs are shared, some are individual, and some depend on who's participating in what.
No spreadsheets. No mental math on the chairlift. Just clarity.
Why ski trip expenses are uniquely complicated
Costs vary wildly by person
Lift tickets, lessons, gear rental -- one person's day might cost $300 while another's costs $80. Equal splits don't make sense.
The cabin organizer becomes the banker
One person books the lodge for $3,000. Then they spend the whole trip tracking who paid for groceries, who covered gas, and who still owes for the hot tub.
Dining creates friction
Cook at the cabin or eat out? When the group splits on this, expense tracking doubles in complexity.
Multi-day trips compound the problem
Each day adds more expenses. By day four, nobody remembers who paid for coffee on Tuesday.
Every ski trip expense in one place
Are We Even creates a shared ledger for your ski trip. Log expenses as they happen -- cabin, lifts, rentals, meals, drinks. Choose who's included in each one. Real-time balances mean no surprises. Minimum transfers mean simple settlement. No spreadsheets. No car-ride-home accounting. No awkward texts two weeks later.
- Per-expense participant selection
- Multiple people can log costs
- Automatic settlement with minimum transfers
How it works
Set up the group when you book the cabin
Create the group and share the link. Everyone joins before the trip.
Start logging from the first deposit
Cabin rental, grocery run, gas. Track pre-trip expenses too.
Add daily expenses on the mountain
Lift tickets, lunch on the mountain, apres-ski. Log them at the end of each day.
Settle on the last night
Review balances together. Handle transfers before everyone heads home.
From first deposit to final settlement
Every expense, every participant, every balance. Organized and visible to the whole group.
Features
Per-activity splits
Only three people took the lesson? Only they pay for it. The rest aren't included.
Receipt scanning
Snap the restaurant bill or the rental shop receipt. No manual entry needed.
Pre-trip tracking
Log the cabin deposit months before the trip. The balance starts building immediately.
Minimum transfers
Eight people, forty expenses across four days. The app calculates maybe four payments to settle everyone.
Common ski trip expenses
Why ski trips need more than a notes app
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| One person tracks everything | single point of failure and burnout |
| Split everything equally | unfair when costs vary by person |
| Venmo after each expense | dozens of micro-transactions |
| End-of-trip spreadsheet | requires hours of manual work |
| Are We Even | per-expense tracking, flexible splits, automatic settlement |
Your group can start tracking in 60 seconds
Share a link. Everyone opens it on their phone -- no downloads, no accounts. Start logging expenses immediately. Works on the chairlift, in the lodge, or wherever you have signal.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do we handle expenses that only apply to some people?
- Choose participants for each expense. Gear rental for three people? Only those three are in the split. Cabin rental for everyone? Include the whole group.
- Can we track expenses before the trip starts?
- Yes. Start logging deposits and advance purchases as soon as planning begins. The running balance reflects everything.
- What about people with different length stays?
- Include them only in expenses for the days they're present. The app calculates their share accordingly.
Focus on the mountain. We'll handle the math.
Track every expense. Split fairly. Settle before the drive home.
