If you wanted to go skiing at Heavenly in Lake Tahoe in 1997 or 1998 you would pay about $98 in March 2025 dollars, according to the US BLS CPI calculator. This season a lift ticket is $232. Incline/DiamondMountain was $58 in 82-83, now $165.

Likewise when I looked at concert ticket stubs for the 1970's - 2000 the prices were consistently about $40-50 in todays dollars for top acts in big venues.
